## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Retreat Guru LATAM Yoga & Meditation Retreat Scraper

Scrape yoga, meditation, ayahuasca, and wellness retreat listings from [retreat.guru](https://retreat.guru) across 12 Latin American countries. Extracts structured event data including dates, pricing, ratings, location, and teacher info.

### What it does

This actor crawls retreat.guru's country and style-filtered listing pages for 12 LATAM markets — Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile, Guatemala, and Nicaragua — and returns one record per retreat event. It extracts data from inline JSON-LD Event schema blocks on each detail page, supplemented by HTML parsing for room options, participant limits, and retreat center links.

**Coverage:** ~3–5k LATAM retreat events across country × style combinations (yoga, ayahuasca, ayurveda, meditation, vipassana, tantra, breathwork, cacao).

### Use cases

- Build retreat search and discovery products for the LATAM wellness tourism market
- Feed travel-affiliate sites with structured retreat inventory (dates, pricing, capacity)
- Track retreat pricing trends and availability across LATAM destinations
- Enrich wellness tourism databases with Retreat Guru's verified listings
- Research the LATAM yoga and meditation retreat market ($4B+ inbound segment)

### Input

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of retreat records to return | required |
| `countries` | array | LATAM country slugs to scrape (see below) | all 12 |
| `styles` | array | Retreat style filters to apply (see below) | all 8 |

#### Supported country slugs

`mexico`, `costa-rica`, `brazil`, `peru`, `argentina`, `colombia`, `ecuador`, `bolivia`, `uruguay`, `chile`, `guatemala`, `nicaragua`

#### Supported style slugs

`yoga`, `ayahuasca`, `ayurveda`, `meditation`, `vipassana`, `tantra`, `breathwork`, `cacao`

#### Example input

```json
{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "countries": ["mexico", "peru", "costa-rica"],
  "styles": ["yoga", "meditation", "ayahuasca"]
}
````

To scrape all available LATAM retreats:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 5000
}
```

### Output

Each record represents one retreat event. Records are deduplicated by retreat GID across all country and style pages.

#### Example record

```json
{
  "event_gid": "1524-751",
  "title": "7 Day Peyote, Psilocybin and Bufo Alvarius Retreat (July 20 - 26th)",
  "url": "https://retreat.guru/events/1524-751/...",
  "retreat_center": "Arkana Spiritual Center",
  "retreat_center_url": "https://retreat.guru/centers/1524-1/arkana-spiritual-center",
  "country": "Mexico",
  "region_or_state": "State of Mexico",
  "city": "Valle de Bravo",
  "venue": "Arkana Spiritual Center",
  "styles": "peyote",
  "start_date": "2026-07-20",
  "end_date": "2026-07-26",
  "nights": 6,
  "price_from_usd": 3960,
  "price_currency": "USD",
  "room_options": "AVB Double Shared, AVB Double Private (2ppl), AVB Single Private",
  "participant_max": 22,
  "rating": 5.0,
  "reviews_count": 205,
  "listed_at": "2026-07-20",
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-30T19:33:00.482Z"
}
```

### How it works

1. Generates listing URLs for each configured country and country × style filter combination
2. For each listing page, extracts all JSON-LD Event schema blocks and deduplicates by retreat GID
3. Enqueues each unique retreat's detail page for full data extraction
4. On each detail page, parses the JSON-LD microdata block for structured fields, supplemented by HTML parsing for accommodation options, participant limits, and retreat center links
5. Paginates listing pages (`?page=N`) until `maxItems` is reached or no new events are found

### Notes

- **Languages** is null — retreat.guru does not expose language tags in a structured format
- **Inclusions** (meals, transport, etc.) are embedded in the description text rather than structured fields
- Records are globally deduplicated: a retreat appearing in both `/be/mexico-retreats` and `/be/yoga-retreats-in-mexico` is returned only once
- The actor respects retreat.guru's robots.txt crawl-delay by running at low concurrency
