Heartland Traditions Tour

Join us for an excursion through the agricultural heartland of Banderas Bay. This 6-hour tour begins in the Human Connections office in Bucerias with coffee and an introduction. From there, we will travel inland through the picturesque countryside, stopping at a historic town on the way to our first visit with a local artisan in their workshop. There, you will hear their story and receive an interactive lesson in their area of expertise. Possible visits include a potter’s workshop, the home of a master tamale maker, or a florist’s tropical orchard filled with exotic fruits and flowers.

Your trip will end with an authentic, farm-to-table meal at a family-owned ranch where you will learn about the agricultural lifestyle of the region and make your own tortillas and fresh cheese.

Our Inland Experience is perfect for travelers who are eager to learn through a hands-on experience and explore the diverse and vibrant livelihoods of Mexico that exist outside the touristic áreas.
