Trip Philosophy & Experience

Because we got tired of our “great trip ideas” ending up in the group chat graveyard. Turns out, adventures are way better when they actually happen—and especially when you’re with friends who can laugh with you (or at you) when you fall in a river. We want to build a crew of fellow adventurers, people who know that every Fall and Spring means another epic story in the making.

Think campfire vibes: supportive, laid-back, and always ready for a good story. Our travelers are friends (and friends-of-friends) who love nature, crave adventure, and are just as excited to swap embarrassing travel tales as they are to cheer you on when you finally conquer that hike.

Nope! Even though we’ve got entrepreneurship in our blood, this is strictly a passion project. No sales pitches, no timeshares —just pure love for adventure and building a community.

Adventure & Physical Demands

Our standard trips lean toward moderate adventure, with about 4–6 hours of movement each day (hiking, scrambling, or rock crawling) and plenty of breaks along the way—if you can handle a brisk five-mile hike with a daypack, you’re golden. The Valle de Bravo trip is more flexible, offering a mellower, choose-your-own pace experience, with plenty of options for those craving more adrenaline as well.

Yes, you should be comfortable outdoors and ready to embrace the elements. Don’t worry—we provide gear tutorials, route briefings, and on-trail guidance so you won’t be left guessing. For the Valle de Bravo trip, the experience is more flexible, with options ranging from relaxed, low-effort activities to more adventurous outings depending on your preference.

About 70% programmed adventures and 30% free time. That means plenty of chances to nap, journal, explore solo, or just stare at the stars.

For anything that requires real expertise—like canyoneering—we’ll have professional guides who actually know what they’re doing. For ATV and rock crawling, expect a safety briefing, helmets, and a guide who won’t let us drive off a cliff. For the DIY parts of the trip, just remember: we’re all friends here, not professional babysitters. Use your best judgment, look out for each other, and try not to do anything that would make your mom nervous.

Plan to arrive in Mexico City by midday Wednesday and depart by Monday Morning, if possible. We will arrange transportation from Mexico City airport to Valle de Bravo (about a 2-hour drive) and back, and will coordinate arrival and departure times accordingly. You’re also welcome to arrange your own transportation if you prefer.

We will be renting multiple cars for the group to share. If you prefer to have more freedom and have your own transportation you are welcome to rent a car.

We don’t book flights for you, but Kayak and Google Flights are your best friends here. After you register, you’ll get into the WhatsApp group where you can coordinate arrival times and rides.

Mexico City (MEX). There should be non stop flights from most major airports in the US. Vella De Bravo is about a 2 hour drive from Mexico City airport. We’ll have multiple rental cars for the group, so depending on your arrival and departure times, we’ll pair you with other travelers.

Yes, but the trip is priced as a flat rate to keep logistics simple and because partial stays are difficult to fill. Food costs will only reflect the days you’re there.

Pricing & Refund Policy

Your trip price covers lodging (5 nights), group boat & car rental. It also includes a personal chef to prepare meals and a mezcal tasting. Additional costs are limited to flights, groceries, dining out, and any optional excursions you choose to add on (ie, Paragliding, mountain biking, sweat lodge, etc). Please note, pricing is based on 10 guests; if the group size changes, we will notify you of any adjustments.

You send us the money, we wrangle the vendors, and you get to skip the spreadsheet headaches. Our mission: make group trip planning so easy you’ll actually want to do it again. We hope you’ll start thinking, “I’m setting aside $X a year for the best adventures with my favorite people.” We’ll collect full payment ( via venmo) upon confirming your spot in a trip.

We’re not a travel agency, so refunds aren’t guaranteed. Life happens, though, and we’ll do our best to help—whether that’s finding a replacement or canceling your tours. We handle these on a case-by-case basis with lots of understanding.

Lodging & Food

The house includes a personal chef that would be preparing our meals for us. We would just need to cover groceries and any restaurants we go to.

Please tell us when you register. We want to make sure we are aware of any desires/restrictions you may have.

We usually rent a spacious, beautiful house. Early birds get first pick of rooms (private or shared). Latecomers get whatever’s left—fair’s fair. Check the Airbnb link on the homepage for room details, and let us know your preferences when you sign up.

Master suites have private bathrooms; shared rooms share a bathroom. Details are on the Airbnb link.

Group Culture & Expectations

Ten to fifteen people—small enough to keep things cozy and flexible, big enough for fresh conversations and new friendships.

The people joining are a fun mix from all our friend groups over the years—college pals (yes, the ones with the embarrassing stories), friends from San Francisco and Park City, and folks from our Conscious Leadership and Hoffman circles. It’s a crew that loves adventure, connection, and a good laugh.

Our trips are adults-only…think great conversations, a little adventure, and zero bedtime negotiations.

After the Trip

You’ll keep access to your trip’s WhatsApp group to keep the good vibes rolling. Eventually, we want to create one big group for all travelers to share stories, photos, and future plans.

Absolutely! We’re committed to doing amazing trips twice a year—one in fall, one in spring. Check the “Future Destinations” section on the bottom of the homepage to see where we’re dreaming of next.
