I got an email last week that stated, due to the "dangerous Mexico" warnings recently, the number of guests hasn't been enough to keep it operating, and they are closing for good in mid July.

A family friend went to Rio Caliente and expressed how much she enjoyed it. The big part that peaked our interest was the cost. So, in a moment of sheer stress and needing to get away, we booked a vacation. We knew little about the experience but trusted her opinion. Admittedly, we were concerned about the dangerous news coming out... More

I found Rio Caliente by googling quiet retreat yoga. It appeared perfect! Upon arrival I thought Rio Caliente was sweet and rustic and a great place for a relaxing getaway/retreat. I was not disappointed until I tried to sleep. Let me start with the positive... the people were great, the food was exceptionally good, the instructors and staff were also... More

The title of my review says it all. It is not for everyone, but it IS for me. I feel renewed with a ten day stay there. Every friend I have brought with me or told about is now a repeat visitor. And Guadalajara is a wonderful and interesting place to visit either before or after your stay at Rio... More
