Our Mission

At Encuentro, our mission is to create meaningful connections between travelers and the soul of Chiapas. We believe in the power of travel to transform—not just through beautiful places, but through human stories. Through our thoughtful architecture, rooted in simplicity and authenticity, we aim to honor the land and traditions of San Cristóbal de las Casas. We invite you to become more than a visitor—become part of the community.

A Journey Designed Just for You

No two people travel for the same reason. Some seek stillness, others adventure. Some crave culture, others connection. At Encuentro, we offer fully personalized experiences, shaped around your interests and pace. Whether you’re drawn to textile weaving, ancestral medicine, traditional cuisine, or guided hikes through nature, our team co-creates the trip with you—from your first message to your last memory. This is not a tour. It’s an encounter.

Local Traditions & Cultural Craftsmanship

Chiapas is a land of living traditions. From the loom of the artisan to the ceremonial fire of a local curandera, everything here tells a story. At Encuentro, we help preserve and uplift these stories by connecting you directly with indigenous makers and cultural leaders. Learn the ancient symbolism in textiles, taste tamales wrapped in banana leaves, or sit with a musician who plays the marimba like it’s a language. These are not performances—they’re invitations.

Gastronomy of the Land

Food is memory. In Chiapas, it's also a bridge between past and present. From warm tortillas made by hand to moles prepared with secret ingredients passed down for generations, each meal is an experience. We collaborate with local chefs and home cooks to bring you meals that tell the story of this place, its people, and its flavors. Whether you're dining in a family home or at one of San Cristóbal's hidden gems, you'll taste Chiapas—not as a visitor, but as a welcomed guest.

Sustainable and Respectful Travel

Encuentro is committed to conscious travel. We work hand-in-hand with local communities, ensuring every experience benefits the people who make it possible. Our architectural design respects the land; our activities respect traditions. With every booking, you support indigenous-led initiatives and eco-cultural preservation. Travel doesn’t have to take. It can give back.
