May in La Ventana is warm, sunny, and feels very much like summer elsewhere. Expect daytime temperatures in the mid-80s to low-90s °F (29–34°C) with abundant sunshine. A gentle sea breeze often keeps the temperature feeling comfortable.

Evenings remain warm and pleasant, typically in the mid-70s °F (24–27°C).

Most guests fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), located approximately two hours from La Ventana.

We’ve arranged complimentary group shuttle service for guests arriving between 12:00 pm and 3:30 pm on May 2 and departing between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm on May 8.

If your flights fall outside these windows, we’re happy to help arrange private transportation (approximately $100 USD each way, paid by the guest).

You may also choose to fly into La Paz International Airport (LAP), located about 45 minutes from La Ventana. Flights are less frequent, but transportation can easily be arranged (approximately $40 USD each way).

Travel insurance is not required but is strongly recommended.

We encourage purchasing a policy that includes both trip cancellation and emergency medical coverage. Once our refund deadlines have passed, travel insurance is the only way to recover your investment if unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending.

If you have pre-existing medical conditions, many policies require insurance to be purchased shortly after paying your deposit. Please read your policy carefully, as coverage varies.

No special vaccinations are required for travelers arriving from the United States.

We recommend bringing at least some Mexican pesos for small purchases around town. Many U.S. banks can order pesos in advance.

ATMs are also available in La Ventana, and many businesses accept major credit cards.

Tipping is customary in Mexico.

A gratuity of 10–15% is standard for restaurants and massage therapists. We also recommend tipping the chef and Casa Verde staff at the end of the retreat if you feel they’ve provided exceptional service.

Tips for the shuttle drivers and boat crew are already included in your retreat fee.

All meals are prepared on-site by Chef Cody Buchholz using fresh, seasonal ingredients inspired by the flavors of Baja California, the Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia.

Meals are healthy, nourishing, beautifully presented, and designed to bring everyone together around the table.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and most other dietary needs can be happily accommodated. Please let us know your dietary preferences when registering.

Yes. Purified drinking water is available throughout the retreat.

Please bring a reusable water bottle that you can refill during your stay. Tap water is not recommended for drinking.

Most major cell phone providers offer international plans that work well in Mexico. Check with your carrier before traveling.

If you prefer not to use an international plan, WhatsApp is an excellent option for calling and messaging while connected to Wi-Fi.

Casa Verde offers reliable Wi-Fi throughout the property. Like many small towns in Baja, occasional power outages can occur, temporarily affecting internet service, though this is relatively uncommon.

The Punta Gorda hike follows a well-maintained dirt trail that is mostly flat with only gentle elevation changes. It is appropriate for most fitness levels.

We’ll hike at a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to stop, enjoy the scenery, and take photos.

Closed-toe athletic shoes are recommended.
