Birding in Catemaco
Feb 20-26 ’09...…………………..549.*
7 Days - A great trip programmed for birders but anyone can go. Photographers, adventurers and of course, birders. If you don’t bird, you just don’t
get up quite so early! Begin in Paradise and travel as far as Lake Catemaco, a beautiful volcanic lake where you stay right on the shores - another
paradise. This is a bargain for birders and non-birders.
Copper Canyon Special
Mar 18-24, Jul 7-13 ’09……….….779.*
7 Days - A trip for the adventurous! Goes all the way through the Canyon from West to East. Plus spend two nights in a romantic ocean view room
at our beach front hotel in Mazatlan. Ride the “World’s Most Scenic Railroad” one of the very few passenger trains still operating on our continent.
Catch rare glimpses into the lifestyles of the Tarahumara Indians! Spend an unforgettable night right on the Canyon rim - a canyon four times larger
and 1,462 feet deeper than our own Grand Canyon. You will love this tour! Due to extreme changes in altitude you should be in good health, ready for
adventure and able to “go with the flow”.
Copper Canyon/Mazatlan
Feb 27-Mar 8, Oct 6-15, Oct 26-Nov 4 ’09..1029.*
10 Days - Fabulous! Fantastic! Combines the awesome Copper Canyon, four times larger than the Grand Canyon, with marvelous Mazatlan, a
Pacific beach resort not to be missed. Ride the train to Creel, the Gateway to the Canyon. After an overnight in this lumbering town, continue all the
way through the Canyon even passing over the Continental Divide. Building this railroad was a true engineering feat. The “Chepe”, as the train is
affectionately called by the locals, winds through 86 tunnels and uses 39 bridges on its journey to Los Mochis, the western terminus of the rail line.
Copper Canyon/Mountains & Beaches
Feb 18-27, Mar 13-22 ’09..1129.*
10 Days - A true adventure! With an extra day to enjoy the canyon! We take you to the very rim of the canyon where the beautiful, ever-changing
vistas impress you with the magnitude of this phenomena...a canyon four times larger than our own Grand Canyon. Ride the "World's Most Scenic
Railroad". Catch rare glimpses of the Tarahumara Indians, the largest Indian tribe north of Mexico City. These isolated nomadic people are known
as the world's fastest runners and are said to be able to outrun a deer. Be sure to bring your binoculars for great views of the Canyon. Our hotel sits
right on the rim! All this plus Mazatlan, Guadalahara & San Luis Potosi.
Mexico City/San Miguel & Taxco
Feb 4-10, June 10-16, ’09…..….549.*
7 Days - The heart of Mexico - Mexico City - has it all. From the ancient past as the Aztec metropolis of Tenochitlan; through Spanish colonial reign
and into the ultra-modern thriving capital it is today. We will view all these aspects and more. A favorite international capital - it seems to have
something of everything. Also included a side trip to Taxco and one night in San Miguel de Allende. The tour is programmed so that those who wish
may attend the Ballet Folklorico. (Optional - tickets purchased separately)
Monarch Butterflies
Mar 6-12, ’09………………..…....599.*
7 Days - For years no one knew where the Monarch Butterfly migrated in the winter time. Now we know! The delicate creatures begin their
migration in November. You will find them at their peak in January, February and March. Join us for an almost ethereal experience in the beautiful
state of Michoacan - 3,000 miles from home for our migrating friends - the Monarchs. Daily as the sun warms the wings of the colorful insects, they
descend from their lofty perches among the pines to drink at a nearby stream. The stillness of the forest, the rustling of millions of butterfly wings, the
tinkling of a bubbly mountain stream combine to form a natural paradise.
San Miguel de Allende
Feb 17-22, Mar 9-14, Jun 18-23 ’09…..429.*
6 Days - Known as the Mexican Hill Town, San Miguel is so picturesque and the climate so divine that it has become an artists' and retirees' mecca.
The magnificent Gothic style pink cantera stone Cathedral, landmark of San Miguel, is the focal point of the downtown area and our hotel is right
across the jardin (Called the plaza in most Mexican towns. The locals call their plaza “el jardin” or the garden.). At every turn the many flower filled
patios, the quaint shops and bubbling fountains will delight you. The historic center in the downtown area has kept the facades of the buildings just as
they were in Colonial times. The tour includes Guanajuato, the subterranean city, as well as Dolores Hidalgo and Queretaro.
