EACH CLIENT, THEIR OWN IDEAL EXPERIENCE!
What's yours?
The organizations we work with are as diverse and intrepid as the experiences that ViAjolote designs for them. We bring people together, regardless of nationality, gender identity, social background, religion or age, through a shared enthusiasm for travel, art and culture. We believe in creating a global community by breaking down sociocultural stereotypes to spark meaningful connections between you and your fellow travel companions, as well as with people you will meet along the way.
UBER
Latin America Talent Acquisition (TA) learning the art of Lucha Libre
Meeting a new team member can be challenging and fun. The new UBER Latin America Vice President flew in from San Francisco, and we greeted her with a classic Chilango-Mexico City experience: Lucha Libre at the Arena México! But first we went back to basics...Nothing sets the mood quite like a mixology class with true Mexican mezcal! A mezcal negroni to begin with, and a special drink designed to meet and honor El Hijo de Máscara Sagrada (Tigre Blanco)! Oh yes! We created our drinks while learning everything about professional wrestling with the real deal! You can imagine what a fantastic time we had at the Arena México.
UBER
Latin America Mobility Team
An absolute thrill to design these experiences for this super-charged UBER team. We learned a lot about eco-harvesting at the spectacular Chinampa Nantli, while cutting fresh vegetables and preparing delicious, homegrown, fresh, healthy food! Not to mention our exhilarating row on our cayucos through Xochimilco’s ecological reserve! Later, we met with the amazing mixologist/bartender Saade, who took us to an incredible mezcal tasting experience! Salud!
ASIAN ART ARCHIVE
The Mexican Experience
Asia Art Archive is a catalyst for new ideas that enrich our understanding of the world through the collection, creation, and sharing of knowledge throughout Asia. Each year , the AAA board of directors’ travels to other countries to visit connect with and learn from museum curators and directors, and art historians, among others, from other cultures. In 2023, the ViAjolote team designed a series of cultural experiences (history, art, music, cuisine, chefs, architecture, museums) in the city of Puebla.
BENTLEY FELLOWS /CENTER FOR THE ARTS DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
At the Mexican Repertoire Initiative World Premiere
Bentley Fellows support the year-long mentorship programs that are offered to Dartmouth music students. The fellows spent a week in Mexico City and in Puebla attending concerts and activities of the Dartmouth Wind Ensemble’s Mexican Repertoire Initiative. A week of visits to museums and historical sites, a cooking class, a private concert at the iconic Antiguo Colegio San Ildefonso, and much more, so the Fellows could immerse themselves in the city’s landscape and sounds.
DARTMOUTH COLLAGE WIND ENSAMBLE (DCWE)
Mexican Repertoire Initiative concert and master classes with the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) Student Wind Ensemble
THE DCWE is a select, auditioned student wind ensemble of 45 members, performing a wide variety of music from the late 19th, 20th and 21st century wind ensemble repertoire. The ensemble, as part of the Mexican Repertoire Initiative, performed in concert with the UNAM student wind ensemble at the UNAM’s acclaimed concert hall, the Sala Netzahualcoyotl.
HISPANICS IN PHILANTHROPY (HIP)
40th Anniversary Celebration
ViAjolote designed a series of cultural activities as part of the HIP Board of Directors’ annual meeting in Mexico City. HIP has built the largest global network of philanthropists, funders, charities, impact investors, and movement leaders to support, fund, and materialize its vision of change for Latinxs globally. From an exclusive brunch and tour of the Xochimilco ecological reserve with our partners at Nantli Chinampa to a spectacular dinner focusing on corn and its relationship to the elements by Colectivo Amasijo at the historic Casa Seminario, board members and invited guests were able to connect in a deeper way with Mexico’s vast cultural heritage.
UBER
Latin America Talent Acquisition on the dancefloor Salón Los Ángeles
We all know how hard two years of a lockdown has been on everyone, and how many people have not even been able to meet their co-workers. Uber TA LATAM Team was seeking teambuilding activities in Mexico City to break the ice. ViAjolote came to rescue and designed a night of salsa, cha cha chá and cumbia dancing at the spectacular Salón Los Ángeles.
