Team experiences
Las Islas del Rosario Exploration
Charter a private vessel to explore the nearby archipelago. Being on the water is a proven tool for quieting analytical noise. This "blue space" session allows for open-ended strategic dialogue, removing the psychological boundaries of traditional meeting rooms to foster divergent thinking.
Getsemaní Street Art Workshop
Trade the boardroom for collective expression in Cartagena’s artistic heart. Guided by local muralists, your team will collaborate on a large-scale project in Getsemaní’s historic streets. This exercise requires synchronous creativity, illustrating how individual contributions form a unified identity. It is a high-energy session that turns the city's revolutionary history into a metaphor for brand evolution and shared vision.
Bioluminescent Marine Tour
Navigate the bioluminescent waters of the surrounding mangroves after dark. This immersive experience is a physical metaphor for finding clarity in the dark—requiring teams to focus on subtle, glowing details. It serves as a powerful physiological reset, clearing the mind for high-stakes decision-making.
Colombian Cooking Challenge
Swap the boardroom for a high-stakes culinary lab. Navigate local markets to source ingredients before collaborating under an expert chef’s lead. This challenge sharpens resourcefulness and rapid problem-solving as teams transform Caribbean flavors into a refined meal. It is a physical exercise in synchronicity and the alchemy of cross-departmental success.

There's no better way
As a remote team, it's important for us to create an intentional space for us to come together and connect as more than co-workers. We believe there's no better way to do that than in nature and Wilder Retreats helped us do just that.
Chris Clark
CEO
The best experience ever.
We've worked with Wilder Retreats on over three retreats now and it's been the best experience ever. They have great locations in their pocket, work closely with you on budget and details, and are always a step ahead with planning. I don't know how we'd execute on our team offsites without them!
Britt Cooper
VP of Talent
Nothing short of magical!
Our time with Wilder Retreats in Yosemite was nothing short of magical. We explored, we laughed, and we grew together. It was a humbling reminder of the beauty and power of nature, and of the importance of fostering connections with those around us.

We'd choose Wilder Retreats again without hesitation!
Wilder Retreats ran our firmwide offsite this year. It was clear we had a true partner in Wilder. From the earliest planning chats through the final goodbye for the airport, our Wilder Retreats team was responsive, organized, and upbeat, so much so that our own staff who worked with them to plan could simply enjoy the retreat instead of juggling logistics. The result was a relaxed, engaging few days where people could focus on connecting with colleagues and re‑energizing for the year ahead. We came away feeling both cared for and confident that we’d choose Wilder Retreats again without hesitation!
Emma Dyson
Chief of Staff
Highly recommend Wilder Retreats!
Wilder Retreats presented, organized and executed a company retreat in Big Sky for us. The details were communicated in a timely manner both prior to the event and during. Our group had an amazing time! I would highly recommend Wilder Retreats.

For most citizens of the US, UK, Canada, and the EU, no visa is required for stays up to 90 days for business meetings or tourism. However, all travelers must complete the Check-Mig form online between 1 and 72 hours before arrival and departure to ensure a seamless immigration process.
Yes. Cartagena’s primary zones (the Walled City, Getsemaní, and Bocagrande) are highly secured and actively patrolled by dedicated tourist police. While government advisories for Colombia often highlight rural areas, the urban retreat centers are well-established international hubs with a safety profile similar to major European cities.
We recommend staying within the Centro Histórico and utilizing private, vetted transportation for all movements. Wilder only partners with "gold-standard" properties like Sofitel Barú or Casa San Agustín, which offer 24/7 security and geographic separation from high-traffic public areas.
