We are very excited to announce an exciting trip to Mexico in partnership with Blue South Journeys, which takes place from 5-15 February, 2019.
With its powerful murals, first-rate museums, and thriving galleries, Mexico City has become a world-class city of art, hailed by many as “the next Berlin”. Pablo Espinel Rudolf will be traveling with you sharing his passion for contemporary art and Latin American culture. You will discover this vibrant capital and get a taste of the unique vibe the country’s designers and architects are experiencing right now. This coming February, when the weather is warm and dry, visit this wonderful capital city, coinciding with ZsONAMACO, the most important contemporary art fair in Latin America. Blue South Journeys’ personal contacts in the city will open many doors for you, including to cutting-edge galleries, artist studios and top private collectors’ homes. Along the way, discover first-hand why Mexico City’s gastronomic scene is every bit as exciting as its art!
The second part of the trip will bring you to the Yucatan Peninsula, a dazzling destination with ancient Mayan ruins, azure Caribbean and colonial cities all in one fell swoop. On this extraordinary journey, you will learn about the Mayans of the last millennium as well as contemporary Maya life. Special guides will take you deep into Mayan, colonial and contemporary cultures as you visit archaeological sites, churches, museums, artisans’ workshops, and private estates and homes.
