Our thoughts and feelings about the holistic retreat and wildlife expedition we led in May 2025 in Baja California Sur. From swimming with orcas, mobulas, and sea lions to desert hikes, starry beach bonfires, and daily yoga, this journey was a celebration of nature, creativity, and connection. We met locals, tasted Baja’s rich flavors, and created a space to slow down and express ourselves. After the success of this unforgettable week, we’re excited to return in May 2026 — and we’d love to have you with us.

In this article we describe why we chose to run a trip in the Valdés Peninsula (Patagonia, Argentina), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that remains one of the planet’s best-kept secrets. Whales, orcas, sea lions, elephants seals, penguins and more await to be seen in this magical corner of the world.

At Carpe Diem Holistic, we offer immersive experiences that combine freediving, photography, wildlife watching, and wellness in some of the world’s most awe-inspiring and biodiverse underwater destinations.

We’re committed to ethical practices, supporting small NGOs and local businesses, and fostering collaborations with like-minded individuals and organizations to promote sustainable travel.

This schedule has been crafted with careful attention to seasonal weather patterns and wildlife migration cycles, ensuring you experience the best of what nature has to offer during your trip.
