Last updated: 28 April 2026 · ochunainbaja.net
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website ochunainbaja.net
and the retreats offered by Ochuna in Baja ("Ochuna in Baja", "we", "us", or "our").
By visiting ochunainbaja.net, submitting an application, or booking a retreat, you agree to
these Terms in full. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or apply.
1. About Us
Ochuna in Baja is a sole-proprietorship hospitality and retreat business based in Todos Santos,
Baja California Sur, Mexico, registered under the Mexican federal RFC number MX-EMP-RFC-MAOC780513.
Our registered address is Camino al Faro KM 4, Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico CP 23300.
2. Eligibility
Retreats are offered to women aged 18 and older. By applying for a retreat, you confirm that you
are at least 18 years old, that the personal information you provide is accurate, and that you
are physically able to participate in the optional surf, yoga and breathwork activities described
on ochunainbaja.net, or that you will inform us in writing of any limitations before arrival.
3. Applications, Bookings & Payments
- Submitting an application via ochunainbaja.net is free and does not constitute a booking.
- Bookings are confirmed only when (a) Ochuna in Baja accepts your application, (b) you receive a written booking confirmation, and (c) you pay the 30% non-refundable deposit.
- The remaining balance is due 60 days before your arrival date. Bookings made within 60 days of arrival require payment in full at booking.
- All prices are stated in U.S. dollars. Mexican IVA (value-added tax) is included in the listed retreat price.
4. Cancellations & Transfers
- The 30% deposit is non-refundable but is fully transferable to a future Ochuna in Baja retreat within 18 months, or to another woman of your choosing.
- Balances paid are 50% refundable up to 45 days before arrival.
- Within 45 days of arrival, balances are non-refundable.
- If Ochuna in Baja cancels a retreat for any reason, you receive a full refund of all amounts paid, or a credit toward a future retreat at your choice.
- We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical, and evacuation.
5. Your Conduct at the Retreat
Ochuna in Baja is committed to a respectful, safe and inclusive women's space. By attending,
you agree to:
- Treat every other guest, teacher and staff member with respect;
- Follow safety instructions in the water, on the yoga mat and during all activities;
- Refrain from harassment, discrimination or abusive behavior of any kind;
- Respect the confidentiality of sisterhood circles — what is shared in circle stays in circle;
- Refrain from bringing illegal substances onto the property.
Ochuna in Baja reserves the right to remove any guest from the retreat for serious or repeated
breach of these conduct standards, without refund.
6. Assumption of Risk
Surfing, yoga, breathwork and travel in Mexico carry inherent risks. By participating, you
acknowledge those risks, confirm that you participate voluntarily, and agree to follow the
safety guidance of our coaches and teachers. Each guest is required to sign a separate liability
waiver on arrival as a condition of participating in surf and breathwork sessions.
7. Intellectual Property
All text, photography, graphics, logos and content on ochunainbaja.net are the property of
Ochuna in Baja and Mariela Acosta or are licensed to us. You may not copy, reproduce or
republish any content without prior written permission. Photographs taken during retreats remain
the property of Ochuna in Baja, and we will only share images of you publicly with your written
consent.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Mexican law, Ochuna in Baja, its founder, employees, and
service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages arising out of or related to your use of ochunainbaja.net or your participation in any
retreat. Our aggregate liability for any direct claim shall not exceed the total amount you paid
to Ochuna in Baja in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
9. Force Majeure
Ochuna in Baja is not liable for failure to perform when caused by events beyond our reasonable
control, including hurricanes, earthquakes, pandemics, acts of government, civil unrest or
airline failure. In such cases we will work in good faith to reschedule your retreat or provide
a fair credit.
10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Mexican
States and, more specifically, the laws of the State of Baja California Sur, without regard to
conflict-of-law principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico for any dispute that is not resolved by arbitration as
described below.
11. Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any retreat booking shall first
be submitted to good-faith negotiation between the parties for 30 days. If unresolved, the
dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Mexican
Arbitration Center (CAM) under its current rules. The seat of arbitration shall be La Paz, Baja
California Sur, Mexico. The language of the arbitration shall be English with simultaneous
Spanish interpretation if requested.
12. Consumer Protection (CONDUSEF / PROFECO)
Nothing in these Terms limits the consumer-protection rights you may have under Mexican federal
consumer law. If you believe Ochuna in Baja has not honored its obligations under those laws,
you may also contact the Comisión Nacional para la Protección y Defensa de los Usuarios de
