BUCERIAS CULTURAL TOUR

ABOUT THE TOUR EXPERIENCE 

We bring you with a small group of travelers into non-touristic neighborhoods within Bucerias, where you meet and engage with families of local artisans. Through translated conversations, you will gain deeper insights into the lives and livelihoods of these artisans, gaining a sense of the vibrant cultural diversity within Bucerias. You might try your hand at some local trades – such as painting or weaving – and will certainly not leave hungry, as the tour ends with a full and family-made Mexican meal.

Our staff has been running these intimate cultural tours in Bucerias for half a decade, meaning we are an organization rich in relationships and grateful to welcome travelers like you into our community.

Taxis are provided as transportation for the group during our tours and there is minimal walking. The tours are fit for people of almost all ages and activity levels and can be customized to meet any physical restriction.

Yes you can! We ask that you please notify our tour director, Maya (maya@humanconnections.org), if you’d like to pay in cash. Cash payments should also be paid at our office up to 48 hrs before the tour date. We accept pesos or US dollars.

How many people will be on the tour?

Our tour sizes vary each week. The minimum for a tour is four people and groups can be as large as 20. However, the average group is about 6-10 participants.

Is this tour a good fit for families?

Absolutely! Since we visit families, there tends to be a very organic and special connection between our travelers and the people we visit. Kids have very different reactions than adults, which is fun to witness. Please be sure to let us know if you are traveling with children so that we can specialize the tour for them! If you do, we make sure to visit clients who have interactive trades so that your kids can get involved.  See our TripAdvisor page for feedback from families!
