About this trip

At OCHO our vision is to create an immersive experience that empowers individuals to approach travel in a mindful manner. Travel can be a catalyst for self-discovery, a time to better understand our physical, mental and spiritual selves that in turn creates space for multi-cultural understanding.  Through workshops and individual exercises we will challenge our idea of tourism through discussion and interactive learning.


Visit Antigua, Lake Atitlán and El Paredón to experience the diverse landscapes and culture of Guatemala. 

Partnering With Local Organizations

In each of the three destinations visited over the course of the trip, your group will be partnering with a local social enterprise where we will focus on sustainably supporting one specific program that each organization offers within their community.

This retreat was a beautifully orchestrated getaway intended to bring together 8 women and help them to get to know themselves, each other and the beauty of Guatemala. Every place we stayed was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed (and more :) The food, some prepared by local chefs and some at restaurants, was always good and inspired us to change to more "clean eating"! Lots of fresh fruits & vegetables grown locally. We visited 3 different non-profits that are trying to lift up the people of Guatemala and felt privileged to have the chance to get to know some of the local people. Although we sometimes were pushed out of our "comfort zone", this was done to help us learn :& grown - and we never felt unsafe.
