The MAP!
So everything is in walkable distance. Barrio 2 is up to the left of town. It is a 15 to 20 minute to walk up to Shangri La and Starry Mountain. Both places are close to the cemetery. You can take a tuk tuk up the hill if you do not want to hike up.
Tim's Coffee Tour will begin at 8am so head up around 7:30 if you are walking. Niss has a Thai Massage class on Sunday which will start at 4:30 so you have an extra few minutes to get up the hill.
Mariu's midwifery class is at her place in Pasajap and also will start at 4:30 so you can get there. It is also about a 15 to 20 minute walk or you can Tuk Tuk there. You are walking on the road so it is not very steep.
The Cambalacha and The Dark Side of the Moon are about a 5 minute walk even though they look further away on the map.
Remember all workshops, unless otherwise marked start 15 minutes after the hour and finish 90 minutes later.
You have 30 minutes to get to your next workshop. There are no reservations, so get there early.
If you do not have a wristband it is Q100 per workshop to attend.
Wristbands may not be available at each space.
Vida will have them available on site.
