Founded by partners, Sara Elise & Amber Chanel, Apogeo Collective is a bed & breakfast safe-haven for travelers of color, LGBTQIA+ travelers, and our allies. It is a collection of bed & breakfast pop-up experiences, with the inaugural experience offered in Winter 2020 in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Apogeo serves as both an homage to Gioconda Belli- a Nicaraguan feminist poet, activist and author of the namesake collection of poems- as well as the culmination & meeting point of the founders’ individual work. With this collective, the aim is to create open space for our guests to tap into apotheoses within themselves.
