Guests who chose proactive over reactive
“I was blown away by the level of service and speed to which the tests were performed and the results were supplied in exceptional time. A far cry from the Canadian System. Megan and Jose were very professional with the next steps and suggestions offering both a medical and holistic approach to my future care.”
“Altavita flips the tables on our current medical system's approach by inviting participants to take a proactive, not reactive, dive into their health. Enrolling in an Altavita experience is not a cost, but an investment. Altavita's multidisciplinary approach seamlessly blends wellness for today with health longevity.”
“The care I received when having a mammogram and cyst aspiration at San Lucas Hospital was of the highest standard, from the welcome and attention I received at reception, to the gentleness with which the doctor carried out the procedures. I felt in very safe hands.”
“A truly unique experience: comprehensive health screening that would take months in the US completed in one day, after which we were whisked off to the beautiful mountain town of San Cristóbal de Las Casas. We visited waterfalls, experienced an authentic Maya healing ritual, nourished our bodies with delicious food, practiced breath work and sound healing, and connected with like-minded women.”

Frequently asked
Who are the retreats for?
Adults ready to move from reactive to proactive care. Most guests are 35 and older, though every retreat is open to any adult who wants a clear, data-informed picture of their health. Altavita runs four formats: men's, women's, couples, and singles.
Do I need to be unwell to attend?
No. The focus is preventative. Guests come to understand their baseline, get ahead of family health history, and build a plan while they feel well.
What medical testing is included?
Our medical team tailors your diagnostics after reviewing your personal and family health history. Testing can include blood panels, a cardiac stress test, CT scan, bone density scan, gut microbiome analysis, vein evaluation, and other age and gender appropriate screens. Every result is translated, delivered, and explained in English in a private one-to-one session.
How are my results handled?
Confidentially and with care. Your lab data is encrypted and reviewed only by the clinicians assigned to your case. You receive a whole mind and body interpretation, a personalized 12-month wellness plan, and follow-up support.
Is medical travel in Mexico safe?
Yes. Altavita partners only with accredited clinics and qualified specialists who follow international standards, and manages all ground transport, transfers, and logistics. Chiapas is one of Mexico's most visited regions, home to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Why are the groups so small, and is there an application?
Every retreat is capped and intentional. A short consultation lets us confirm fit, protect your privacy, and give our medical team meaningful one-to-one time for your assessments and follow-up care. Smaller groups simply allow deeper, more personal work.
What is included?
Medical testing and results translation, all accommodation, ground transport, curated excursions, spa and wellness sessions, gourmet meals, a personalized 12-month wellness plan, quarterly follow-up sessions, and ongoing access to our specialist network. Flights are not included.
What does it cost?
We share current investment details on a complimentary consultation call, so we can walk you through exactly what your experience includes.
Is Altavita LGBTQ+ friendly?
