In the background, several Mayan-style huts can be seen, blending into the natural surroundings. A pristine open cenote with crystal-clear water is visible nearby, enhancing the serene and tropical atmosphere. The scene is bathed in bright, natural sunlight, capturing the warmth of a sunny day in this vibrant jungle setting.

Guided by our bilingual local experts, your team will enjoy ziplining, canoeing, cliff diving, and snorkeling all at your own pace.


You will finish the day with a visit to an adjacent Mayan village where you will be greeted by a delicious lunch and an opportunity to appreciate the simplicity of the lives of the local villagers.


After lunch, the time and location can be utilized for making important announcements or engaging in additional team-building activities. This flexible period allows for updates on company developments or to further strengthen team dynamics through collaborative exercises.

River Floating in Muyil

Immersive natural experience perfect for fostering relaxation and team unity


Immerse your team in the serene beauty of the Yucatán Peninsula with our River Floating in Muyil excursion. This unique experience begins with a guided exploration of the secretive archaeological site of Muyil, located near Tulum.


Your team will witness the stunning architectural contrasts of ancient Mayan structures nestled within the lush jungle, providing a backdrop rich in history and intrigue.

Following the short archaeological tour of about 45 minutes, you'll enjoy an incredibly scenic walk through the jungle, culminating at the breathtaking Muyil Lagoon.


Here, your team will board a boat that navigates through a network of ancient Mayan trade canals. These canals function as a natural "lazy river," where participants can relax and float peacefully in lukewarm, turquoise waters. Surrounded by exotic mangrove ecosystems, this tranquil journey offers a therapeutic escape from the hustle and bustle of daily work life.


Highlights and Benefits:

  • Enhances Relaxation and Well-Being: The gentle flow of the river and the calming natural surroundings help reduce stress, promoting mental clarity and relaxation among team members.

  • Fosters Team Bonding: Sharing this tranquil experience allows colleagues to connect on a personal level, strengthening relationships and improving team cohesion.

  • Cultural Appreciation: The excursion provides insights into the ancient Mayan civilization, enriching participants' understanding of local history and culture.

  • Supports Flexibility and Freedom: After the river float, teams have the option to enjoy lunch in the Tulum area, with transportation provided at no extra cost (lunch costs in restaurants of your choice are not included, but arrangements can be made). This flexibility allows for personalized experiences based on your group's preferences.


By incorporating the River Floating in Muyil into your corporate retreat, you're offering your team a chance to unwind and rejuvenate in one of the most beautiful settings the Tulum area has to offer.


This excursion not only provides a unique adventure but also creates an environment where creativity and collaboration can flourish.

Non-Traditional Venues and Local Influences


A recent discussion with Julius Robinson, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Marriott International, sheds light on key trends expected to shape the meetings and events industry in 2024:


  1. Non-Traditional Venues and Local Influences: There's a growing demand for unique event spaces that offer memorable experiences. Planners are seeking outdoor setups, reimagined creative spaces, and venues that incorporate local culture and traditions to engage attendees.

  2. Resurgence of Large Meetings and Networking: Large-scale meetings are making a strong comeback. After periods of remote work, there's significant energy around in-person gatherings, with an emphasis on networking and team bonding.

  3. Inclusive Experiences for Attendees: Inclusion remains a central focus. This includes thoughtful menu planning, neuroinclusive practices like quiet rooms and sensory tools, and ensuring that events cater to a diverse range of needs and abilities.

  4. Aligning Content for Gen Z Attendees: With more Gen Z participants, planners are incorporating shorter sessions and interactive, gamified activities to maintain engagement. There's also an increased interest in "bleisure" travel, blending business with leisure.
