Art, Meditation and Yoga
This April, we did our first annual RENARTE workshop, combining
art, meditaion and yoga in such a 
way to help evolve one's own pratice, creativity and
and personal growth. Everyone was a beginner in one or more
(or all!) of the acivities, so the learning curve was big! Through the guidance of the teachers and the supportive nature of the group, everyone learned new
things about each of these activities and about themselves.

This workshop was a resounding
success and we look forward to
offering more this coming season, as well as other workshops of similar kinds. El Pedregal is such a great place for small groups, workshops and retreats.

New Birding Trips
For this coming season, we'll be offering new birding trips to Northeast Mexico, Veracruz and Chiapas. Also in the Yucatan, we are offering two distinct itineraries...a shorter one focused mainly on the endemics and a longer trip that encompasses birds, ruins, biospheres and culture. See below for our new trip schedule.

Beyond Birds...Culture, Cuisine and Crafts Trips
Another thing we are excited to offer are our 'beyond birds' trips. We have found that many people are interested in traveling with us in Mexico but are not really birdwatchers. So, with that in mind, we have decided to venture into running a few tours that will focus on Culture, Cusine and Crafts! This coming season we'll be offering a trip the Oaxaca and one to the Yucatan. Stayed tuned for more inforamtion on these trips.
