Mexico Week of Adventure
The Mexico Week of Adventure is an active and adventurous multi-sport vacation in which you will experience the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Mexico. Based in the enchanted village of Jalcomulco, you will be introduced to friendly local villagers, great food, spectacular scenery and action packed adventures.
Each day is packed with fun activities; paddle the best of Mexican whitewater on the Antigua and Pescados Rivers, trek up a spectacular canyon, across the Mesa, and experience rural village life first hand, explore an ancient Totonac burial ground on the summit of a solitary mountain spire, mountain bike to the ancient Totanac ruins of Zempoala, and soar above the canopy of Mangos and across the river on a tyrolesa (zip lines).
Mexico Week of Adventure is an active exploration of Mexico's most authentic and spectacular eco-tourism destination. If you are hoping to experience some tropical adventure well off the beaten tourist track then this is the trip for you.
Good times, great food and fun adventures all combine to make the Mexico Week of Adventure an unforgettable winter escape!
