GETTING THERE

You will Fly into ZIH (Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa) airport. It’s a 20-minute drive to Casa Garrobo. Rachel arranges all your transport. If you would like for her to also book your flights to ensure you have the best possible itinerary, and air support from her team if needed, you can pay an additional $50 fee for this added service.

Travel Safety Update

As many of you are probably aware, Mexico experienced some political unrest recently. On February 22, 2026, isolated criminal incidents occurred in parts of the state of Jalisco, including vehicle burnings and temporary road disruptions. Images from these events circulated widely across international media and social platforms.

The incidents occurred on February 22 and were resolved the same day.
There were no casualties in Puerto Vallarta’s tourist zones.
No gunfire occurred in tourist areas.
No visitors were targeted.
The temporary security alert (“Código Rojo”) was lifted on February 24, 2026.
As of today, Puerto Vallarta is fully calm and operating normally.

Please note that Puerto Vallarta is 10 hours and 40 minutes from Zihuatanejo. Our area is not close to where the unrest occurred. Nothing has happened since to indicate safety issues, and businesses and visitors are operating as normal.

If that were to change, we will pivot. We will never guide a group to a place we believe to be unsafe. Rachel has hosted multiple retreats in Zihuatanejo over the past seven years and loves this region of Mexico.

About

Rachel Matz

Rachel is an ERYT 500 Hour Yoga Instructor and has owned and operated a yoga and massage therapy studio, Grass Roots Studio, in Zanesville, Ohio since 2017. She completed her yoga training over a two year period with Awakened Life School of Yoga, traveling to Bali twice and Costa Rica from 2014-2016. 

Rachel played basketball at Ashland University and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Religion, and soon after completed schooling to receive her License in Massage Therapy. Her yoga teaching often mixes components of spirituality and yoga philosophy with physically challenging and structurally intelligent flows. And you can always count on an invigorating array of music to flow with! She believes that yoga begins on the mat, and eventually, with consistency and practice, carries into every aspect of life. The deeper the connections and ties between the body, the mind and the heart, the more passionate, peaceful and purpose-driven life.

“ I could write a novel, but Rachel created such a thoughtful, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone! She is so intentional in her planning, communication, suggestions, and preparation guidance. Even though I didn’t know many people on the retreat before we went, I wasn’t nervous at all because I knew that anyone who was in her orbit would be amazing as well!! If anyone is on the fence, just say yes!!! Rachel, the yoga, the people, and the places are all amazing!! ”
