Xalapa Orientation Seminars

Are you thinking of retiring or spending an extended vacation in Mexico?

Why not attend my orientation seminar where I will share with you many insights that I've acquired after living in Xalapa for the past 30 years? All those questions and doubts that you might have about Mexico and this region, information that's not in the guidebooks and not easily obtained from other sources. You'll get a "feel of the land" so you can enjoy this wonderful country to it's best.

Slide show: A "taste" of what you might find on a market tour

Schedule:
Monday	Is a "getting to know you" time, when I will give you maps, brochures, and an extensive slide show of this area to "wet your appetites" for adventure. For those "walkaholics" like me there will be a walking tour of downtown, especially the market area. Lunch is included at El Diamante restaurant.
Tuesday	We'll take a tour on the tranvia (replica of a trolley car) of Xalapa, then go to the internationally renowned Anthropology Museum.
Wednesday	The adventure starts with a tour of the Ex-hacienda Museum El Lencero which belonged López Santa Ana, the infamous 11 time mexican president who attacked the Alamo in Texas. Optional lunch at Las Coronelas which makes mouth watering mexican food.
Thursday	More adventure with a trip to the quaint village of Naolinco with it's "standing rivers" (waterfalls!) and dozens of shoe-maker's shops. Optional lunch at the many excellent restaurants there.
Friday	A favorite trip of mine to the Texolo waterfalls (movie "Romancing the Stone" shot there), then to the charming coffee growing village of Xico where you can try the dozens of locally made liquors and moles. Optional lunch at the Acamalin or El Mesón Xiqueño restaurants. If it's the Xalapa Symphony Orchestra season we'll go to a concert in the evening and have an antojito at the many restaurants in Xalapa.
