What makes this experience so unique?
The special ingredient of this experience is, well, of course, love. Ok, so maybe all retreats are full of wonderful people and lots of love.
What makes this extra gathering unique is its location in space and time. The deep immersion in nature and the vital energy of the volcanoes is a recipe for genuinely transformational and regenerative experiences.
We have witnessed and personally experienced magical transformations here in the Galapagos Islands. As our connection and awareness have grown, we are pulled to create spaces of intentional reference and regeneration. This gathering is one.

NUTRITION:
Most of the meals will be prepared with fresh, locally sourced products from agroecological farms. This includes freshly roasted coffee, herbal teas, and fruit juices.
We believe and encourage a plant base diet so the meals at the lodge will be vegetarian and vegan versions of traditional Ecuadorian dishes.
Some meals will be in town, where you can try the local seafood or stick with the veggie options.
ARRIVAL:
Arrival by airplane
It is important that you take the earliest flight possible on the first retreat day or ideally arrive one day before since the transportation from Baltra Airport to Puerto Ayora pier takes about 3 hrs.
Drop off at Santa Cruz Airport will be around 10 AM on the last retreat day, so make sure you have a flight booked at least 2 hours later than that.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mateo has been surfing since the age of 16. Learning to surf in Miramar, a surf town south of the province, he has been in constant movement ever since, searching for waves in countries like Perú, Brasil, Costa Rica and Chile. This tracking of waves, made him arrive to Ecuador, where he found the perfect balance between nature, surfing, and quiet living.
Mateo is also a very talented musician. He has been playing in bands since age of 6, recording numerous albums with different bands in genres like funk, progressive rock, blues and electronic music. In 2014, he arrives to Ayampe where he would settle and meet Camilo, having unique chemestry together, developing a broderhood that would make them create a band called Flacoman, with which they play constantly in festivals and tours across the country. His deep relationship with music guided Mateo to investigate and develop his own style and songs to give sound baths and sound meditation sessions.
A couple of years later arriving Ayampe, Mateo and Camilo create the Surf Office. With 15+ years surfing, Mateo is eager to share his knowledge with visitors that want to connect with the ocean, as well as being very experienced in understanding ocean conditions to provide a safe surf practice.

My vision as a surf coach is to be able to show that we are all capable of learning new things in the water beyond our age or physical condition, connecting with our body is super important to overcome our mental barriers, having fun above all!
