Bienvenidos!Whether it’s Culture & Cuisine, Textile Traditions, Ancient Civilizations, Art History or Festivals, let us take you beyond the beach resorts. Our unique approach combines education with off the path itineraries, designed to build greater understanding of and appreciation for the richness and complexity of Mexican or Colombian people.
A country so close, yet whose customs are so different from ours; a country of multiple images and stereotypes that bears knowing first hand; a country and people that is much more than its beaches. Mexico is a rich amalgamation of its past and present. Join us on unique trips of discovery to gain a deeper appreciation of Mexico; a country with a complex past, rich present and dynamic future!
We believe Colombia is an emerging destination and we are excited to sharing it with you! from Cali in the southwest, to the Pacific Coast, to the Central Coffee Growing Region, to Cartagena and Santa Marta on the Caribbean Coast and to the distant land called “La Guajira”, home to the Wayoo people and a surreal landscape where desert meets ocean, we covered a lot!.
We will visit the homes and workshops of the great master artisans to learn about the materials and processes used in creating their works of art.
From pre-Hispanic art to contemporary art, Mexico’s artistic expressions reflect this country’s complex history and blend of cultures.

We cannot think of a way that the trip could have been better. We are still daydreaming about our time with you in Mexico. Our only regret is that we did not buy that $2.00 pottery bowl on the sidewalk in front of the church. It was the best!.

It really was an excellent tour, I appreciate the insights into the culture that we would not have gotten had we tried to experience Day of the Dead on our own. And those tamales, yum! And the amazing cemeteries at night, the sights, smells & sounds will live with me forever.

Our trip was for sure one of the highlights of last year for me. I look forward to Part 2 of my Mexican adventures.
