The Other Side of Creativity
Welcome to Paradiso—a festival that’s anything but ordinary. It’s not a crowded conference or a flashy event. Paradiso is a retreat designed for creators seeking depth, inspiration, and meaningful connection. Over five days, you’ll step away from the grind to rediscover what truly matters: your ideas, your people, and your creative spark.
Set in the heart of Mérida, Yucatán—a city where history and creativity intertwine—Paradiso invites you to leave behind deadlines, notifications, and the noise of everyday life. In this vibrant setting, unplanned conversations turn into collaborations, quiet moments lead to breakthroughs, and immersive experiences remind you why you create in the first place.
A space where people can freely interact
So what can you expect?
The Paradiso schedule has been designed to balance inspiration and relaxation:
From the moment you arrive at the Welcome Dinner at Salón Gallos on March 12, you’ll be immersed in a world where creativity isn’t consumed—it’s lived. Wake up to bright Mérida mornings with activities like the Paradiso Running Club or the 10K Official Race, followed by explorations of local gems like cenotes and treasure hunts.
Afternoons offer time to soak up Mérida’s charm—visit bustling markets, enjoy a siesta, or capture the city’s colorful streets with your camera. Evenings are where the magic truly comes alive. Picture yourself in a transformed flour factory—Salón Gallos—a space brimming with workshops, live performances, tattoo art, and even impromptu creative discussions over wine.
The experience culminates in the Closing Party at Lagarto de Oro on March 15 and a serene Brunch on the Beach the following day. Each moment is designed to connect, inspire, and recharge your creative soul.

Forget what you think you know about festivals—Paradiso isn’t defined by an image or identity, but by the essence of experience, the connections you form, and the transformation you undergo. Creativity here isn’t polished or filtered—it’s raw, fluid, and alive, evolving with you and reflecting the growth every creator seeks. Whether you’re dancing under the stars, diving into a cenote, or sharing ideas over coffee, every moment feels authentic and unforgettable.
