Veronica Carrera courageously stepped away from Corporate America to pursue a profound dream: the creation of Ater Tumti, a holistic retreat nestled in the heart of Costa Rica. More than just a resort, Ater Tumti has emerged as a sacred sanctuary for connection, healing, and transformation—an oasis that honors ancestral wisdom and diverse healing practices.

During the pandemic, while many grappled with uncertainty, Veronica acquired 21 hectares of breathtaking mountain land. Guided by her heart, she embarked on a transformative journey, immersing herself in the teachings of shamans whose wisdom catalyzed a profound metamorphosis in her life. This path was not merely a transition to a new career; it was a pilgrimage of the soul.

Located just 15 minutes from the stunning Samara Beach, Veronica dedicated four years to realizing her vision for Ater Tumti, investing her resources and unwavering commitment to bring this dream to life. Today, the retreat is fully established, complete with essential amenities designed to foster deep healing, connection, and personal growth. Our offerings include a Maloca for ancestral ceremonies, spaces for meditation and yoga, enchanting tree houses, an infinity pool overlooking the mountains, a communal kitchen, and scenic hiking paths that invite exploration and reflection.

Recently, a dear guest posed a question that resonated deeply with Veronica: "Have you paused to acknowledge what you've accomplished?" In that moment, she realized that in her relentless pursuit of purpose, she had overlooked the importance of celebrating her journey. With newfound clarity, she honors her past—a girl from Ecuador who weathered the storms of life without her parents, prioritizing her education and earning an MBA from Cornell University, thriving in Corporate America while rising through the ranks of leadership, cultivating friendships and love along the way.

This adventure has required both Veronica and her partner, Angelica Coronilla, to leave the comfort of their lives in the U.S., shedding the familiar and embracing the calling of the Creator to establish a space dedicated to serving humanity. Ater Tumti is not merely a holostic retreat center; it is a community committed to growth and spiritual enlightenment.

Join Veronica at Ater Tumti for a transformative journey of connection, healing, and self-discovery, where like-minded souls come together to honor their paths and celebrate the sacredness of life.
