Empapar
Quiero que que te vayas a mérida con Nico a empaparte del nuevo desarrollo.

According to my dictionary empapar means to soak, get soaking wet but I doesn't make any sense in this sentence.

Podría también haber dicho:
"Quiero que vayas a Mérida con Nico a zambullirte en el nuevo desarrollo"

... [y quedar empapado de el.]
