Meet Súper MX, a Mexico City-based start-up that builds radically simple insurance products for the 3.8 billion people in Latin America underserved by the industry. With team members dispersed throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada, an offsite was in order to align on the broader mission, vision, and values.

When considering a more tropical locale for a company retreat, many immediately think Hawaii...and for good reason. But given Súper’s Mexican HQ, Flok proposed a handful of different nearby destinations that would fit the team’s size, needs, and goals.
Located on the southern edge of the Baja California peninsula between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean, Cabo — known for its white sand beaches, turquoise water, and range of all-inclusive resorts — was the perfect option.
Flok arranged for the Súper team to stay at the Baja Club Hotel. Located in the historic center of La Paz, this 20th-century colonial-style villa came with 32 guest rooms, a spa, and a rooftop sunset bar offering stunning views of the bay — the perfect “home base” for the retreat.
Between the Monday arrival day and Thursday departure, Flok made sure to plan a range of structured and more leisurely activities for the Súper team, including:
“We had so many fun activities, from our first in-person all-hands to karaoke night, but definitely what the whole team enjoyed the most was the day trip to Balandra Beach,” explains Galan. “It was an extraordinary experience, from the place to the food to swimming with sea lions.”
Now that the team has returned home from their offsite, Galan reflects on where she hopes Súper goes from here.
