Exclusive Healing and Wellness Retreat Opens in Ecuador Around Rare "LIVE" Water Source

Korimana debuts in La Maná, Ecuador as an exclusive retreat centered around a rare volcanic artesian spring, as its source water hits select U.S. retailers nationwide

La Maná, Ecuador, June 2026 – Korimana (Korimana.com) has opened in the volcanic foothills of the Andean rainforest in La Maná, Ecuador as an exclusive healing and wellness retreat, offering access to a remote rainforest landscape shaped by mineral-rich earth and natural water reservoirs near the Cotopaxi region. The Cotopaxi region is a rare convergence of untouched volcanic waters, ancient rainforest wisdom, powerful natural energy, and the enduring legacy of ancestral civilizations, creating an environment deeply associated with restoration and renewal.

The retreat center is intentionally crafted near a natural artesian aquifer that rises from deep within the Andean Rainforest and is filtered through volcanic rock originating atop the Cotopaxi volcano. The water contains naturally occurring trace minerals, including colloidal gold and silver, present in minute concentrations at the source.

This rare volcanic spring water has long been associated locally with vitality and restoration due to its unique mineral composition and origin within a geologically active region. It is considered a “live water,” referring to water that remains in its natural molecular and energetic state from source to bottle without industrial processing or chemical alteration.

The water is exceptionally low in total dissolved solids (TDS), measured at approximately 31 mg/L, resulting in a light, clean profile and mouthfeel. It is balanced as nature intended, with essential electrolytes including calcium, magnesium and potassium, providing a naturally occurring combination for optimal hydration and replenishment. It also contains trace elements of colloidal gold and silver, naturally present at the source. Colloidal gold is often associated with recovery and anti-inflammatory properties for cellular balance, while colloidal silver is recognized for its natural antibacterial properties, eliminating the need for additional chemical treatment or purification.

Korimana is home to Splendor, the world’s finest water —consciously bottled to preserve its molecular vitality and infuse the body with its healing essence. More than hydration, Splendor is designed to harmonize the seven chakras, unlocking a deeper connection to the Universe and restoring the body to its natural rhythm.

While Korimana itself is accessible only to a limited number of visitors, the water from the same source, is selling as Splendor Water, in Ecuador and now in the United States at select retailers including Sprouts, Erewhon, Bristol Farms, Lassens, D’Agostino’s and Gristede’s and The Fresh Market.

“Discovering Splendor Water felt like uncovering something that was never meant to be altered…only shared with the world, just as its original founder intended. When you stand at the source, you understand immediately that this water is different. It’s alive, it’s balanced, and it carries the story of the land it comes from,” says Sara Couch, General Manager for Splendor Water, who runs the U.S. side of the company alongside her father, David Couch. “Bringing it to the U.S. was about making that experience accessible, so people don’t have to travel across the world to connect with something this pure. They can find it right at their local grocer and make it part of their everyday wellness ritual.”

Splendor Water has received recognition for taste and purity, including awards from the Fine Water Society and the International Taste Institute.
