 Mexican Street Markets & More... Thumbnail description: Host Paco Jaimes is a poetic, multi-talented fellow born and raised in "the hard beating, blurry but still fascinating and wonderful capital of Mexico." Here he proposes to introduce visitors to traditional street markets -- one of the most colorful, interesting features of Mexican life. Plus he's ready to customize tours focusing on Mexican "art, history, politics, archeaology, museums or places of historical importance." Thumbnail description: In Michoacán, host Dr. Rocio Arreola is your main contact for this potentially life-changing experience with Buddhists and butterflies. The idea is for you to stay at a Buddhist retreat while taking advantage of a number of day trips and longer ecotour programs. Visits to the nearby Monarch Butterfly Reserve (during the northern Winter) are the main ecotour attraction, though the opportunity to experience Buddhist spirituality and respect for life may in the end touch you the most. |
