You can find our contact information at the bottom of this page if you need help.


Is there an educational component to this trip?

Every single travel experience is educational. On this trip we will not be sitting in classrooms, or looking at textbooks. We will be exploring, immersing, learning from doing. We will be sharing all the knowledge about the area that we have collected over the years. We will be encouraging kids and adults to break out of their shell and step a little out of their comfort zone and remember what it's like to be a wild child. This might not be in your local school's curicullum but it will be transformational in another way.

We hope that you will leave inspired, full of wonder and with your soul well rested.


Do you facilitate group communication?

Yes, all the families will be added to a Whatsapp group to get to know each other before the trip and discuss the itinerary. We will also use whatsapp to communicate in Mexico.

How do I know if we get along with the other families?

I think that's a question you need to ask yourself. We have never had an issue whether families did not getting along.

During our past trips, introverts have enjoyed sporadic company of other introverts, while their kids were able to be social and extroverts had fun with the whole group. No matter what you will have the perfect experience for you.
