January, February and March are the quarter when CDMX-based and Tuxtla Gutiérrez-based corporates —creative agencies, bilingual schools, technology companies, manufacturers with plant on the Guatemala border, tour operators of the Chiapaneco circuit— build winter retreats outside the city. We produce the retreat bundle — staff uniform, attendee gift, workshop material, post-retreat kit — with delivery to Chiapas ready five to seven working days before the event, CFDI 4.0 invoicing with 16% IVA to the SAT and Carta Porte 3.0 when the shipment leaves our workshop in CDMX or Tijuana.
San Cristóbal de las Casas, in the Chiapas highlands, lives winter with a mild climate of 12°C to 22°C during January and February — warmer than CDMX, without the coast heat — with boutique hotel supply in restored 16th-century historic-baldwin mansions, local gastronomy with altitude produce, and a cultural agenda that adds to the retreat content without requiring special permits. For corporates starting the year with a three-to-five-day operational retreat, San Cristóbal works as a seat because the climate allows outdoor sessions in colonial courtyards, the logistics cost is reasonable via air from CDMX to Tuxtla Gutiérrez and ground to San Cristóbal, and the cultural mix — Tzotzil and Tzeltal communities, artisan market, Chiapaneco producer coffees — enriches the content without diverting attention from work.
The typical Chiapas Q1 retreat bundle covers three to five days based at a boutique hotel in the historic centre of San Cristóbal or a restored hacienda in the highlands, between fifty and one hundred fifty participants — predominantly CDMX staff travelling by air to Tuxtla and ground to San Cristóbal. We work with groups invoicing under general regime and with foreign-capital corporates receiving the charge in USD with payment complement at the Bank of Mexico exchange rate of the day. For manufacturers under IMMEX bringing gifts from the Tijuana workshop we handle the temporary-export pedimento with the corporate's customs broker.
Quick-dry tech polo with embroidered group logo and participant name, ideal for San Cristóbal climate in January —temperature drops to 8°C at dawn— and for workshops in colonial courtyards. Heavy hoodie for dawns and night workshops. Sizes CH to 3XG.
Kraft box with group seal containing a curated object: cloth bag embroidered by a highland cooperative workshop, amate-paper notebook from a Chiapaneco workshop, organic coffee from the Sierra Madre produced by a local cooperative, black-clay mug from San Marcos, card with retreat agenda. For the leadership team we add an amber piece from Simojovel worked by a local workshop.
Work folders with cotton-paper sheets, coloured markers for working sessions, flipcharts, side banners with quarter objectives, reusable back wall for plenaries in colonial courtyards, registration panel, bound Q3 programme brochure, floor decals to mark workspace areas.
Delivery five to seven working days before the retreat at the boutique hotel address with coded confirmation per participant, kitting per functional team, transport-grade packaging for air transport from CDMX and ground from Tuxtla, CFDI 4.0 invoicing with 16% IVA and Carta Porte 3.0 when shipping is on our account, USD payment complement when the corporate pays in dollars.
The standard bundle per participant starts at MXN 1,250 before IVA on 50-100 participant runs. For 100-150 participant runs it drops to MXN 1,090. General MOQ is 40 participants; retreats with fewer than 40 participants are quoted with an additional fixed charge for the complexity of per-team kitting.
We invoice CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA itemised to the SAT in national currency. For corporates receiving the charge in dollars we issue the invoice in MXN at the Bank of Mexico exchange rate of the day and deliver the payment complement with the USD trail. For retreats including material in temporary export we handle the corresponding pedimento with the corporate's customs broker.
Lead time is 20 to 30 working days from artwork approval to produce the full Chiapas Q1 bundle. For retreats with shorter lead time we offer express production at additional cost. Delivery runs five to seven working days before the event so the corporate can kit by participant and distribute at the host hotel.
