of the journey
At the heart of Art Week is Zona MACO, Latin America’s leading contemporary art fair — experienced not as a ticket-holder but from inside the cultural conversation, with a curated itinerary and introductions to the galleries, artists, and gallerists shaping what comes next. Beyond the fair, we will visit studios, private collections, and creative spaces, including those hosted by Mexico´s Salon ACME and Italy´s Alcova, the experimental design platform that stages emerging designers and new materials inside unconventional, historically charged spaces.
The curated itinerary of art, architecture, and design is guided by Palanca, a collective of Mexican art historians, designers, and architects whose relationships and expertise turn each day from a tour into a conversation. You will leave with not only extraordinary access to Art Week but also a richer, more layered way of seeing the city itself.
We will stay in the heart of Condesa and trace modernist and Barragán-influenced design across the urban landscape. We arrange personal introductions through trusted local relationships, creating access grounded in warmth and intelligence— whether at a fragrance house, a fashion atelier, or a fair whose floor is hard to navigate alone. Time in the Historic Center reveals another layer of civic grandeur, framed by a scholar who has spent a career with it. Beautiful settings at acclaimed restaurants hold long lunches, dinners, and conversation. Throughout, multi-sensory moments shaped by art, design, food, music, and scent are balanced by WiseWell practices of movement, restoration, and presence.
WiseWell Philosophy
At WiseWell, we believe travel changes you most when the door opens onto something real. In Mexico City that means days shaped by people who live there — art historians, designers, architects, and hosts who’ve lived there — balanced by the quieter practices that let experience settle. Stimulation, and the stillness to absorb it.
Who this is for
This hosted, small-group adventure is designed for travelers who are energized by art, design, architecture, and the cultural life of cities — and who already have opinions about all three. It suits those who want an art-week experience that is intimate, intelligent, and layered, and who measure a trip by the conversations it produces.
Ten guests. Curated, not filled.
What's included?
Your Living Lineage brings together a rare convergence of moments: a front-row seat at the Copa Vendemia polo tournament, an exclusive Santa Catrina dinner with polo players and sponsors beneath the vines of San Lucas vineyard, thermal baths, sound healing, and the quiet magic of San Miguel de Allende’s cobblestone streets — all woven through with something most luxury travel never offers: the space to actually exhale.
We begin with a lively welcome dinner that doubles as a cooking class led by a Mexican-born, French-trained chef—an easy, laughter-filled evening designed to bring everyone together over extraordinary food.
Each morning, Susan leads her signature sessions blending conversation, reflection, and gentle movement to awaken presence, joy, and self-awareness.
Our days include a private sound healing at extraordinary thermal baths, a leisurely vineyard lunch overlooking a tranquil lagoon, guided historic stroll through San Miguel’s historic center, and in-house massages.
One evening we gather for dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Parroquia before enjoying live music nearby.
Beautiful surroundings, thoughtful experiences, and shared laughter make this a retreat for both heart and spirit.
Your investment includes transportation, accommodations, meals, activities, and materials.
