01- ABOUT THE RETREAT & LOCATION
Two cities. One unforgettable aventura 🇨🇴
MOTM's 2026 Colombia Retreat takes you through Medellín's vibrant streets and the vibrant colors and adventures of Guatapé, all with the safety, community, and curation MOTM is known for.
Medellín is one of Latin America's most electric cities! Think rooftop gardens, world-class street art, the best bandeja paisa of your life, and a warmth from its people (paisas) that you'll carry home with you.
Guatapé is one of Colombia's most colorful and breathtaking escapes — a lakeside pueblo famous for its hand-painted zócalos, the iconic climb up El Peñol, and panoramic views of a thousand islands stretching out below you. It's the kind of place that makes you stop at the top and just breathe.
MOTM pairs these two worlds intentionally: culture and community in Medellín, nature and adventure in Guatapé. Every stop is vetted, curated, and guided by our certified local guide who knows her home mejor que nadie.
02- YOUR GUIDES FOR THIS AVENTURA IN COLOMBIA
In the best hands. Always.
Every MOTM retreat runs on our exclusive Co-Guide Model — a U.S.-based MOTM lead paired with a certified local female guide who knows her city like the back of her hand. You are never without a trusted mujer leading the way.
We are thrilled to share that for this MOTM Retreat, we will have our very own Cristina Z. back as our Medellín & Colombia native & certified Co-Guide!
Cristina led the aventura back in 2025 when our inaugural group of aventureras experienced Medellín during La Feria de las Flores. It was such a beautiful aventura filled with laughs, beautiful cultural excursions, deep moments of cross-cultural connection, and of course a safe and inviting community.
Can't wait for Cristina to guide aventuras through Medellín & Cocora Valley this 2026! STAY TUNED BECAUSE YOUR U.S. CO-GUDIE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!

DAY 1
Aventureras arrive!
We celebrate a beautiful welcome dinner in a local Medellín restaurant (cocktail attire). We start building community
& get ready for the next adventure to Cocora Valley!
DAY 2
Rest, Unwind, & Explore Medellín in community
Before heading off to Guatapé for 2-3 days, we will spend one full day in Medellín. The goal of today is to have a slow morning with a wellness activity (to check-in from within first), and then have a local city walking tour of either Medellín or Comuna 13. We will also have a unique cultural experience to truly connect us to Colombia and one another. The goal for today is to truly start building community with one another and connecting with Colombia.
DAY 3
Vamonos a Guatapé
We will start the day with an early departure to Guatapé (an approximately 2 hour drive from Medellín). We'll settle into Guatapé at a pace that lets you actually feel the place — cobblestone streets beneath your feet, hand-painted zócalos in every direction, and a lakeside sunset that'll have you questioning why you ever lived landlocked. Tonight is for good food, new friends, and that first deep breath of pueblo air.
DAY 4
Exploremos Guatapé
Rise & Explore: this is the day you'll talk about for years. We're going up, out, and all in — think big views, bigger laughs, and the kind of shared experience that turns travel companions into lifelong amigas. Whether we're moving our bodies or slowing down to take it all in, Day 4 is designed to hold space for both the adventurera and the mujer who just needs to sit with something beautiful for a minute.
DAY 5
Final Unwind
Our last morning in Guatapé isn't about rushing — it's about savoring. We carve out time to journal, wander the pueblo one last time, or simply sit with everything this place gave you. Then we make our way back to Medellín, the city where it all began, with fresh eyes and full hearts. The week closes the way it should: together, around a table, with the best of Colombian cuisine and the kind of conversation that only happens when women have spent a week really seeing each other. This farewell dinner isn't an ending — it's the beginning of everything you're taking home.
DAY 6
Aventureras Depart!
We celebrate a beautiful welcome dinner in a local Medellín restaurant (cocktail attire). We start building community
& get ready for the next adventure to Cocora Valley!
