The Destination
Located just off the coast of mainland Puerto Rico, Vieques Island is known for its untamed beaches, bioluminescent bays, and quiet pace — a place where wild horses roam freely and nature remains largely untouched. Rooted in its wild hills, Finca Victoria is surrounded by dense jungle and sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. A landscape of untamed forest, ocean air, and open sky that holds the quiet, wild spirit of the island.
The Retreat Host
Sylvia De Marco is the founder of Finca Victoria and a devoted Ayurvedic consultant and practitioner. Through the wisdom of Ayurveda and the practice of yoga, she discovered a path back to simplicity, joy, and deeper connection. Guided by her belief that embodiment is a gateway to spirit, Sylvia shares her practices as an invitation to come home to the body, to life, and to the beauty woven through every experience.
Co-facilitating the retreat with Sylvia will be Lindsay Calloway, certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Herbalist, and Panchakarma facilitator. Her specialties include creating herbal medicines, teas, customized tonics, and herbal baths.
