Organic shade-grown coffee and artisan silver jewelry.





Eco-Adventure Alternative Spring Break

March 29th-April 4th  A unique opportunity for an activity packed spring break that is full of adventure. Based in Puerto Vallarta there will be a mixture of time to play on the beaches and in the bay as well as zip lines, rappelling, and hiking in the mountains. With open days scheduled, you can either enjoy some poolside lounging, beach time, or take part in more optional adventures. Two nights will be spent out at a remote 'resort' along miles of empty beach. Not your parents' spring break!

Trips can be planned for groups from 2-40+ people. Feel free to contact us about your dream adventure.




Trips in the Works for the Future:

Historic Guadalajara and Tequila!

Taste the rich history of the Guadalajara region. In the higher desert region of the state of Jalisco, Guadalajara is known for the wonderful colonial stone architecture, as the home of mariachi music, and the heartland of tequila production. The town of Tequila will be toured and we will see how tequila agaves are grown and turned into one of the most iconic of all Mexican products!

San Miguel de Allende, Queretaro, and the North Central Deserts

The arts and culture of the rich area north of Mexico City.  A combination of the fine arts and crafts and the high desert that makes for a really unique part of Mexico.  The deserts are one of the hot spots for interesting cacti and succulents with high quality regional botanical gardens.
