This immersive day trip to Cócorit, Sonora invites you to connect with the rich cultural traditions of the Yaqui people. Starting from Hermosillo, you’ll be picked up by bilingual, expert guides at your accommodation.

The day begins with a visit to the Museo del Yaqui, where you’ll explore Yaqui history, the trauma of the deportation era, their cosmovision, and ethnobotanical knowledge. You’ll then walk the quiet, mural-lined streets of Cócorit, visit community spaces, and meet local artists preserving traditional crafts such as wood carving and embroidery.

A highlight of the experience is a stop at the beloved Gela Bakery, known throughout the region for its warm, flaky guava empanadas. After a full day of exploration, your guides will bring you back to your accommodation in Hermosillo.

This cross-cultural day trip includes transportation, meals, and cultural guidance — offering a full-sensory journey into the heart of Sonora’s Yaqui heritage.

This tour offers direct engagement with Yaqui people — their traditions, perspectives, and living spaces. With Q&A, open dialogue and optional hands-on participation — it’s a meaningful exchange rooted in learning, connection and respect for one of Sonora’s most enduring Indigenous communities.

You’ll explore Indigenous cosmovision, visit artisan workshops to observe or try embroidery and carving, and spend time in community spaces where daily life unfolds. These aren’t performances — they’re real, lived experiences. You’ll also learn about the Yaqui's ongoing efforts to preserve their language and land, and pass down traditions to future generations.

Your hosts are native to the borderland region and committed to breaking stereotypes through thoughtful, place-based learning. Their bilingual guidance ensures both safety and depth, helping you navigate local customs, stories and knowledge with care. This is an immersion into living heritage — offered with humility, warmth and insight.

This immersive cultural experience begins with private pickup from your accommodation in Hermosillo and a scenic two-hour drive to Cócorit. Along the way, your bilingual hosts introduce you to the cultural and historical landscape of Sonora, setting the stage for a deeper connection to the Yaqui world.

Your first stop is the Museo del Yaqui, where interactive exhibits explore key aspects of Yaqui identity—cosmovision, ethnobotany, traditional medicine, and their resistance to colonization. Central to Yaqui belief is the concept of aniam: multiple interconnected worlds where ancestors, spirits, and nature coexist. The museum grounds this cosmology in artifacts, stories, and modern-day relevance.

Following the exhibit, you'll engage in conversation with knowledgeable local guides who help bridge tradition and present-day life. This stage lays the foundation for understanding Yaqui culture as a living, evolving worldview.

Most visitors to Sonora never encounter Yaqui history beyond a museum label or textbook. This experience changes that. You’ll explore the Museo del Yaqui through the lens of hosts deeply connected to its cultural roots. The concept of cosmovisión is explored not just academically, but spiritually and socially—revealing how it continues to guide the Yaqui relationship to land, ancestry, and everyday life. This belief system, blending traditional Yaqui spirituality with Catholic elements, centers on interconnected worlds and a reverence for nature and ancestors.

This tour is a dialogue. It invites questions, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how colonial history, Indigenous resilience, and spiritual continuity intertwine. The inclusion of local voices—both as educators and conversation partners—ensures respectful, place-based engagement and sets the tone for the journey ahead.

Drive to Cócorit & Visit the Museo del Yaqui to explore the history and beliefs of the Yaqui people.

Understanding Yaqui Worlds

This final stage of your Cocorit visit brings you into Yaqui's craft culture. You'll start with a walk through the town, where carvings, masks, textiles, and beaded jewelry reflect the community's rich visual language. These traditional crafts — carved ironwood figures, willow baskets, embroidered cloth, and ceremonial masks — are both living art and cultural archive, passed from generation to generation.

The highlight is a private visit to a working artisan’s space. Here, you'll not only observe the process of mask carving or embroidery, but also have the option to try a few simple stitches or carving techniques yourself, under the guidance of practicing artists.

Afterward, you'll return to Hermosillo by private transport, with space to reflect on the techniques, meanings, and stories shared during the day — closing the experience with a deeper understanding of Yaqui creativity and community life.

This experience offers rare, respectful access to working Yaqui artists in their own creative spaces. You’re invited to engage — asking questions, learning techniques, and better understanding how art continues to reflect identity, resilience, and sacred tradition.

Craft here is a lived practice. The pieces you encounter are connected to ceremonial roles, family memory, and daily life. Your bilingual hosts help bridge language and cultural gaps, while honoring the voices of those creating the work.

This is a conversation across tradition and time, where guests experience the enduring role of Yaqui artistry in preserving stories and values. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with culture through creation, reflection, and shared time in the workshop itself.

Visit a local workshop and explore Yaqui carving, embroidery, and everyday arts in Cocorit.

Yaqui Arts & Crafts

After the museum visit, you'll explore Cocorit on foot with a local guide, assisted by your bilingual hosts. You'll stop at gathering places, murals, and other key public spaces that reveal the stories of the Yaqui people — past and present. These stories are central to the town’s identity, passed on across generations as acts of remembrance and cultural resilience.

Along the way, your hosts will share personal insights into the ways community spaces reinforce heritage, faith, and belonging. The tour also includes a stop at the beloved Gela Bakery, known for its flaky guava empanadas. As you enjoy this local treat, you'll learn about Cocorit’s food culture and how regional flavors have evolved through time. This stage offers a sensory, grounded view of Yaqui life and Cocorit’s cultural fabric — connecting history with the present through conversation, place, and food.

This experience stands out because it offers an authentic, place-based exploration of the borderlands—an area often misunderstood or misrepresented. Alex and Rocio combine historical insight with lived local knowledge, drawing from both Spanish colonial records and Indigenous perspectives. They take guests to little-known landmarks, preserved trails, and oral history sites. 

This experience offers a rare invitation to see Cocorit not as a tourist, but through the eyes of the community. The town’s murals, public spaces, and stories are active expressions of Yaqui identity. This tour is rooted in lived experience. You'll hear stories that aren't written in guidebooks—oral histories, personal reflections, and local knowledge. You’ll engage with a culture that’s resilient, dynamic, and proud of its heritage.

Demeter taught mortals the art of bread-making. In this ancestral sourdough bread-making workshop, we’ll revisit ancient bread-making traditions and the types of bread the Ancient Greeks created. We’ll connect with our bodies, the ancient land of Athens, and the wheat itself.

Through hands-on learning, you’ll physically engage with ancestral methods of bread-making, deepening your connection to the craft and the stories behind it. The workshop also nurtures mindfulness in eating habits and respect for ingredients, transforming the approach to food in everyday life.

Community is emphasized through collaborative learning. By gathering in a circle to share bread as part of a ritual of togetherness, you’ll experience the timeless sense of community that bread-making represents. This unique blend of cultural, spiritual, and practical elements offers a deeply enriching connection to the past and to yourself.

This workshop lasts two half days, 1st day: 4 pm to 9 pm, 2nd day: 11 am to 4 pm

This is a truly special, atmospheric experience — nighttime, on water, in a historic boat, with strong ties to local life. You’ll board a restored topa, the flat-bottomed boat once used by lagoon fishermen, for a rare nighttime navigation through Chioggia’s canals. Gliding through the picturesque Canal Vena under the stone bridges and soft lamplight, you’ll see the historic center from the same low-water perspective only accessible by this type of boat that locals have long experienced as they move between homes, docks, and markets.

As the boat moves into the open lagoon, the lights of Sottomarina shimmer on the horizon. The sky darkens, the water mirrors the moon, and familiar places take on a different shape at night. Long-eared owls and little owls call from rooftops and trees, while night herons skim silently over the water, hunting in the dark. Damiano, your guide and a lifelong resident, shapes the journey with personal stories — pointing out corners you’d miss in daylight.

This after-dark outing is a rare chance to witness the southern Venetian Lagoon as locals do, from the water at night. Chioggia’s rhythms are still tied to the lagoon’s working culture: fishing boats returning late (Chioggia is Italy’s second-largest fishing port), lamps swinging on piers, owls calling overhead. Even with Venice only an hour away by water taxi, this place feels distant from mass tourism.

The topa itself carries history; its low draft lets you slip into corners and canals most boats bypass. Because the boat sits low, reflections feel near, and the shoreline reads differently. On clear nights, the lagoon’s stillness lets stars shimmer on the water’s surface. Night photography here offers striking compositions: reflections, long exposures, low canal bridges.

Damiano grew up on these waters. His lived connection and personal stories bring it all together. 

Consider booking a meal at a Chioggia trattoria before or after your outing to extend the rhythm of the evening.

Night Boat Tour in Chioggia in Venice Lagoon on a historic topa through canals and under bridges.

Chioggia Under the Moon

Private boat tour through the Venetian Lagoon entirely aboard a comfortable, fully restored “topa”, a traditional Venetian lagoon boat.

Guidance from a multilingual, licensed local captain with professional knowledge of the Venetian Lagoon and shallow waters.

Life jackets on board.

Unlimited photo stops upon request.

A bottle of Prosecco served on board.

Your camera and a warm layer for the evening air.

Chioggia can be reached from Venice’s main island by private taxi boat in under an hour.

You’ll meet Damiano in front of Comparato Marina. 

If arriving by car, the nearest parking lot is Park Unione. Please park there and walk over to the meeting point. 

Damiano Bosetti offers a fresh way to experience the Venetian Lagoon, guiding guests through Chioggia and Pellestrina—towns that carry much of Venice’s feel but are decidedly less crowded and preserve the authentic life of lagoon villages still lived in by their residents rather than overrun by tourists.

His aim is to show these places from a local perspective—"Move Like a Local" is his guiding motto, reflecting his firm belief that the best way to discover the lagoon is to travel at the pace and in the manner of its residents.
Damiano prefers private, personalized outings that deliver intimate, authentic moments for his guests aboard a vintage, fully restored topa, the traditional Venetian lagoon boat.

This 10-day Morocco journey begins and ends in Marrakesh, unfolding through coastal Essaouira and the High Atlas Mountains in between. From artistic neighborhoods and sensory rituals to ocean air and mountain trails, this itinerary invites you to see Morocco not just as a destination but as a series of living moments, each led by chefs, photographers, artisans, and storytellers.

You will take part in Sufi evenings, hands-on cooking, contemporary gallery visits, and village walks. Every stop balances exploration and stillness, allowing time to absorb, connect, and be moved by Morocco’s many layers, from rooftop views to mountain paths, from hammam steam to handcrafted silver.

DAYS 1-2 – MARRAKESH | Ease into the journey with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm welcome into Moroccan cooking set in a private home. Visit El Badi Palace on your own before an immersive evening of Sufi presence with live Hadra music and shared dinner. The next day focuses on the city’s creative energy. Begin with a guided art tour and curator-led meet-up at Comptoir des Mines Galerie. Spend the afternoon in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s modern district, to visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle, spaces that blend color, fashion, and legacy.

DAY 3 – MARRAKESH TO ESSAOUIRA | Begin the morning with A Thousand and One Crafts, a guided walk through the artisan medina of Marrakesh. After lunch, travel west through argan country toward the coast. Essaouira is directly west of Marrakesh, a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, a straight shot to the Atlantic. It offers a gentle and relaxed pause after the intensity of Marrakesh. Arrive before sunset and take in the sea breeze.

DAYS 4-5 – ESSAOUIRA | Capture the spirit of Essaouira with Framed Essaouira, a full-day photography tour that reveals the city’s light, rhythm, and intimate angles. On the following day, dive deeper into craftsmanship with Jewelry Makers of Essaouira, a quiet and inspiring look into workshops that keep Moroccan silversmithing alive.

DAY 6 – ESSAOUIRA TO ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Today is a long but beautiful transfer from the Atlantic coast to Imlil in the High Atlas Mountains. As the terrain shifts, so does the pace. By sunset, you will be surrounded by peaks and valleys, far from city sounds.

DAYS 7-8 – ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Walk the Mule Tracks of Aremd, a soft yet panoramic hike that threads through the hills and villages near Imlil. The following day, go deeper with The Quintessential High Atlas, a guided trek that brings you into the life and rhythm of the mountains.

DAY 9 – ATLAS TO MARRAKESH | Begin your day with The Salt Route of Marigha, a scenic walk through argan groves and salt flats. Then, return to Marrakesh for your final evening. The shift from mountain quiet to city color makes this arrival feel like a reawakening.

DAY 10 – MARRAKESH | Close your journey with Art Beyond Borders, a guided look at contemporary art in Marrakesh. Enjoy one last rooftop, one last mint tea, and one last story before heading toward your next chapter, carrying Morocco’s echoes with you.

An Escape to Morocco

10 days in Morocco through Marrakesh, Essaouira, and the Atlas Mountains with art, food, and nature.

The Algarve reveals itself through art and craft, hands in the soil, stories passed between generations, and the rhythm of coastal life. This four-day itinerary begins in Aljezur, where an organic farm visit offers more than a look at local agriculture—it grounds you in the region’s values. In Monchique, traditional crafts and social impact initiatives highlight efforts to preserve cultural identity while building economic resilience. Along the coast, the Benagil Caves and salt flats of Castro Marim offer natural beauty shaped by time and use. Throughout the journey, you’ll meet artisans, farmers, and changemakers whose work ties heritage to the present. With space for reflection and unhurried connection, this is travel that leaves something behind—understanding, respect, and a deeper sense of place.

Algarve’s Crafts, Land and Sea

4-day itinerary in Algarve merging social impact with craft, coastal beauty, and living traditions.

The Douro Valley reveals itself slowly—through the rhythm of its hands, its vines, and its landscapes. Over three days, trace the threads that connect craftsmanship, heritage, and nature. Guided by artisans, winemakers, and naturalists, you’ll experience the valley’s heritage through craft, taste, and time — with space to pause, breathe, and take in its enduring beauty.
DAY 1 – CRAFT AND HERITAGE IN VILA REAL | Begin in the mountain village of Bisalhães, where black pottery has been shaped by hand and smoked for centuries. In this guided workshop, meet the last artisans still practicing this UNESCO-listed craft and learn how local clay and pine smoke create its distinctive matte finish. Later, continue to Casa de Mateus for a private visit through its baroque halls, chapel, and gardens, before sitting down to a relaxed wine lunch in the palace’s original kitchen — a warm space of stone walls, copper tools, and timeless flavors.
DAY 2 – THE BOTANICAL QUINTA | Spend the day exploring the valley’s heart with Carlos and Paulo. Begin with a silent cruise along the Douro aboard a solar-powered boat, then ride in a restored vintage Bedford van up the terraced hills to a working vineyard and botanical estate. Walk among citrus trees and vines, visit the estate’s small museum, and taste their own Port Tonic and gin made from local herbs. A picnic lunch beneath the olive trees and an afternoon tasting at a nearby olive oil and wine producer round out a day of slow rhythm and vineyard life.
DAY 3 – THE WILD NORTHEAST | Travel north to Terra de Miranda, a land of forests, stone villages, and old customs. Guided by naturalist and photographer Alexandra Melo, explore chestnut groves and mountain viewpoints near Bragança, where wildlife and rural traditions coexist. Visit local artisans and dancers who keep alive the folk rituals and wooden masks of the mirandesa culture, a heritage recognized for its uniqueness in Portugal. It’s a day of stories, photography, and quiet connection with nature before returning through the valley at sunset.

Craft and Vine in the Douro

3 days in Douro Valley exploring pottery, vineyards, and the wild landscapes of the Northeast.

This 9-day journey moves slowly, by design. It winds northward from Dubrovnik’s stone alleys to Trieste’s borderland boulevards—passing through the shifting light of the Adriatic, Roman ruins, and café-lined riverbanks. It’s a route for those who want to feel where they are, not just see it.

You begin in Dubrovnik, not just walking its walls but seeing it with new eyes—through a local archaeologist’s lens, then from a boat at sunset, where the city turns gold against the sea. In Split, Diocletian’s Palace is less a monument than a lived-in maze, full of locals and light. The journey pauses briefly in Trogir—an island town where everything slows naturally—and optionally detours into Istria for hill towns, truffle hunting, and wine trails.

Inland, Plitvice Lakes shifts the tone again. Here, you follow paths through mist and waterfalls, letting the natural rhythm reset your pace. It’s not just a break between cities; it’s a space to recalibrate.

Ljubljana greets you with quiet confidence. A walkable capital, it pairs Baroque charm with bold design and street art. You’ll move from riverbanks to castle views to the experimental district of Metelkova, all at a pace that invites observation.

You end in Trieste, where languages and histories mingle. This last chapter offers options—Karst wine tastings, Austro-Italian cafés, or a final walk along the sea. It’s a soft landing, full of contrasts and continuity.

This is a trip not stitched together by highlights, but shaped by transitions—each place flowing into the next, each experience deepened by what came before. Its travel made deliberate.

Croatia

Slowly, From Croatia to Italy

9-day itinerary through Croatia, Slovenia & Italy — photo walks, coastlines, culture, historic towns

From ancient medinas to soaring mountain peaks, this 7-day itinerary in Morocco begins in the heart of Marrakesh and ends high in the Atlas Mountains. A full week of cultural contrasts, spiritual traditions and modern art, plus rooftop sunsets, hands-on cooking classes, vibrant souks and quiet trails. Each day balances immersive experiences with time to explore independently, inviting you to see Morocco through the eyes of artists, chefs, guides, and storytellers.

DAY 1 – MEDINA FOUNDATIONS & ROOFTOP VIEWS | Begin in the heart of the old city with The City of Seven Men, a walking tour that weaves together faith, folklore, and Moroccan tea in a local home. In the afternoon, visit Bahia Palace, where carved cedar and painted ceilings reflect Marrakesh’s opulent past. As the sun sets, join Skyline Stories of Marrakesh, a rooftop journey through a thousand years of history. End the night over dinner at Le Foundouk, with views to match the mood.

DAY 2 – FLAVORS & FAITH | Spend your day with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm and generous cooking class in a private home. In the late afternoon, explore the remains of El Badi Palace, once a symbol of Saadian grandeur. As evening falls, experience A Gathering of Sufi Presence—a powerful blend of Hadra music, spiritual storytelling, and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Wrap up with cocktails and city lights at Dardar Rooftop.

DAY 3 – ART & ATMOSPHERE IN GUELIZ | Today is centered in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s contemporary quarter. Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a curated visit to a local gallery and studio meetup. Then discover the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent at the museum, followed by a stroll through the vivid and peaceful Jardin Majorelle in the Psychedelic Mirage story. Pause for shopping, cafés, or a relaxed dinner at Al Fassia, a Gueliz institution run by women.

DAY 4 – HERITAGE & STORYTELLING | Dive deeper into Marrakesh’s medina with A Thousand and One Crafts, a private walk through its hidden workshops and time-honored techniques. In the afternoon, visit the Mouassine Music Museum and the Photography Museum, both offering quiet insight into Moroccan life and creativity. End the day with 1001 Stories in Marrakesh, an intimate evening of storytelling, music, and dinner. L’mida rooftop awaits to close the day with vibrant flavors and city lights.

DAY 5 – SWEETS & STILLNESS | Begin your day with a heartwarming class at Signs & Sweets, where deaf chefs guide you through the art of Moroccan pastry in a café that empowers and connects. In the afternoon, pause for renewal with a traditional hammam ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect. End the day with a sensory feast in one of Marrakesh’s most atmospheric restaurants.

DAYS 6–7 – INTO THE ATLAS | Leave the city behind for a two-day trek into the High Atlas Mountains. Your guide leads you from the village of Imlil toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Along the way, you’ll pass Berber hamlets, alpine trails, and star-filled skies. Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh & the Atlas Way

7 days in Morocco from Marrakesh with an itinerary that blends medina life, culture and mountains.

Over seven days, Buenos Aires greets you with ritual, rhythm, and grand facades before the road opens west to Mendoza and the Andes. This week balances guided encounters with space to breathe. You will taste the city in markets and kitchens, learn its stories in theaters and cemeteries, and feel its pulse in a milonga. Then the mountains take over with horseback trails at sunset, fireside asado, wine in the thin air, and time with artisans who keep tradition in their hands.
DAY 1 – ARRIVAL, MATE, MILONGA | Arrive early or the day before so the city can settle around you. In the afternoon, a guided tasting introduces the ritual of mate with a local host, including high-quality blends and traditional biscuits that frame the story and etiquette.

DAY 3 – BELLE ÉPOQUE AND EMPANADAS | Begin with a guided architecture walk that links Belle Époque façades on Avenida de Mayo, the symbolism of Palacio Barolo, and a pause in a period café before finishing near Teatro Colón. It is history told in stone and light. Later, join a hands-on empanada class in a local home, rolling and folding before sharing wine and dessert.
DAY 4 – LA BOCA AND SAN TELMO | A guided photography tour leads you through La Boca’s color and San Telmo’s market streets at an unhurried pace. Your photographer helps with timing and composition so scenes and stories fall into place, whether you carry a camera or a phone.

DAY 5 – ANDES SUNSET RIDE | Keep the day open until the mountains call. In the late afternoon you are collected in Mendoza city for a guided horseback ride with gauchos, timed to the soft light of sunset.

DAY 7 – ARTISANS OF MENDOZA | Spend the morning on a guided visit focused on handmade work at Mendoza’s artisan market, meeting makers of gaucho leather, textiles, and fine crafts.

Argentina

Tango to Andes in Argentina

7 days in Argentina: Buenos Aires to Mendoza with tango nights, wine, mate and asado in the Andes.

This Andalusia road trip traces southern Spain’s emotional and cultural spine, moving from Atlantic shores to Moorish palaces and Mediterranean light. Beginning in Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera, the journey enters flamenco’s deepest roots before unfolding in Seville through ritual, reflection, and royal history. Olive groves and ancestral foodways ground the experience before the road turns toward Granada, where poetry lives in streets, caves, and the Alhambra’s slow revelations. The final stretch reaches Málaga, where innovation meets the sea and wine aged underwater closes the journey with coastal elegance. Performance, craft, landscape, and quiet introspection form one cohesive Andalusian story.

DAY 1 – JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA | Arrive the day before to rest and begin after breakfast. Jerez, one of flamenco’s spiritual homes, introduces soleá and bulería: introspection and rhythmic joy. This is not a staged show but a lived encounter shaped by lineage & improvisation. You’ll see how flamenco emerged through patios, taverns, and family gatherings, where rhythm, voice, and movement carry unspoken histories. Jerez’s whitewashed streets provide a fitting backdrop.

DAY 2 – CÁDIZ | The morning unfolds on the water, sailing the Bay of Cádiz amid Atlantic winds and open horizons. Fortifications, fishing boats, and coastlines reveal the city’s maritime soul. In the afternoon, travel inland toward Seville through landscapes shaped by trade and agriculture. 

DAY 3 – SEVILLE | This day is about slowing down. Beyond monuments, Seville reveals itself through silence, courtyards, filtered light, and stillness. Walking patiently, you experience how architecture, emotion, and spiritual life intertwine. By day’s end, Seville feels less like a destination than a state of mind—warm, layered, and quietly profound.

DAY 4 – OLIVE GROVES & THE ALCÁZAR BY NIGHT | Morning takes you to Alcalá de Guadaíra to explore olive culture rooted in land, family, and tradition. In the evening, return for a nighttime visit to the Alcázar. After dark, the palace transforms—cool air, soft light, and near solitude reveal Mudéjar architecture and gardens in calm intimacy. Soil and stone come into balance.

DAY 5 – GRANADA | Travel to Granada in the morning. In the evening, experience flamenco in Sacromonte’s cave dwellings. Raw and communal, the music reverberates through stone, shaped by Romani history and resilience. Performer and audience merge into a shared emotional space.

DAY 6 – THE ALHAMBRA | The Alhambra is approached as a sensory journey rather than a checklist. Sound, texture, scent, light, and movement guide understanding. Water, carvings, and gardens express harmony and impermanence. The afternoon invites quiet wandering, carrying the palace’s calm into daily streets.

DAY 7 – GRANADA TO MÁLAGA | The morning explores Granada’s ceramic traditions, where patterns and glazes reveal centuries of cultural exchange. Craft becomes historical record. Then descend toward Málaga, trading mountains for Mediterranean light. Arrival brings a lighter, sea-facing rhythm.

DAY 8 – MÁLAGA | Explore Málaga with born-and-bred locals who reveal the city’s layers—from cathedral squares to maritime neighborhoods. The day unfolds through tapas stops and lived insight shaped by family history.

DAY 9 – THE WINE THAT SLEPT UNDERWATER | The journey ends with wine aged beneath the sea. Pressure, temperature, and time transform flavor, blending tradition with experimentation. The sea becomes cellar and collaborator, offering a reflective yet forward-looking conclusion.

WHERE TO STAY
Cádiz’s Old Town offers proximity to port, beaches, and local life. In Seville, Santa Cruz or El Arenal balance landmarks and quiet charm; Triana feels local and river-bound. Granada’s Albaicín offers character and views, while Realejo is calm and central. In Málaga, Centro Histórico suits first visits; La Malagueta offers beachside ease.

Andalusia Along the Road

A road trip itinerary through Andalusia, from flamenco heartlands to Moorish palaces and sea views.

Sicily unfolds slowly across these seven days, shaped by stone, wind, and long layers of history. This journey moves from hilltop towns to ancient temples, from salt flats and vineyards to volcanic slopes and coastal villages. Some days are anchored by guided experiences that open doors into local traditions and landscapes. Others invite you to explore at your own pace, wandering through historic sites and natural spaces in your own rhythm. Designed for travelers who value depth over speed, this itinerary balances structure and freedom while clearly pacing movement across the island.
DAY 1 – PALERMO AND MONREALE | The journey begins above Palermo with a visit to Monreale Cathedral, where gold mosaics and Norman arches reflect centuries of cultural exchange. Time is spent moving through the cathedral and its surroundings at an unhurried pace, taking in the scale, light, and quiet of the space. You return to Palermo for the evening, settling in for your first night on the island.
DAY 2 – ERICE AND THE WESTERN COAST | A guided morning leads into Erice, a medieval town perched high above the sea. Walking its stone streets with a local guide reveals panoramic viewpoints, craft traditions, and daily life shaped by wind and isolation. After lunch near the coast, the afternoon opens into the Zingaro Nature Reserve, where cliffs and coves invite a slower immersion in Sicily’s raw western landscape. The night is spent along the western coast.
DAY 3 – MARSALA AND THE SALT FLATS | This day is anchored by a guided experience exploring Marsala’s winemaking heritage and the surrounding salt pans. Moving between cellars, open basins, and windmills, the landscape tells a story of labor, tradition, and elemental beauty. Lunch is shared during the experience, and the evening unfolds calmly in Marsala, where you stay overnight.
DAY 4 – AGRIGENTO AND ANCIENT GREECE | The journey shifts east toward Agrigento. The morning is spent exploring the Valley of the Temples at your own pace, where Doric columns rise among almond trees and open terrain. After a day immersed in Sicily’s ancient Greek past, you spend the night in Agrigento.
DAY 5 – RAGUSA IBLA | Travel continues into southeastern Sicily, arriving in Ragusa Ibla. In the early evening, wander through the town’s baroque heart, where warm light settles over stone façades, stairways, and hilltop churches. You settle in for the night in Ragusa, surrounded by one of Sicily’s most atmospheric historic centers.
DAY 6 – ORTIGIA AND MARZAMEMI | A guided walk through Ortigia introduces its markets, streets, and architectural layers, followed by an inland visit focused on olive oil traditions. Tastings and conversation connect food to land and seasonal rhythms. Later, the pace softens in Marzamemi, where time is left to explore the former fishing village. The night is spent near the southeastern coast.
DAY 7 – MOUNT ETNA AND TAORMINA | The final day is anchored by a guided hike on Mount Etna, where volcanic terrain reveals Sicily’s most elemental side.

Italy: Canals to Colosseum

7-day itinerary across Venice, Florence and Rome, an iconic mix of history, culture, art, and food

Few cities offer so much color, culture, and character in just three days. This 3-day journey invites you into the textures of Valparaíso, from its murals and flavors to its rhythms and views. With a thoughtful mix of guided encounters and unhurried moments, it is designed for travelers who value creativity, connection, and depth.
DAY 1 – STREET ART AND CERAMICS | The day begins with a guided street art walk that weaves together mural stories, cultural memory, and local tastings. From bold facades to vibrant flavors, you explore the city’s history through both image and palate. In the afternoon, take time to rest or explore the viewpoints of Cerro Alegre before heading to Concón. There, a ceramic workshop invites you to create your own lucky clay pig in a bright studio facing the coast. After the session, stay for a seafood dinner by the ocean and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this quiet beach town.
DAY 2 – COOKING AND CITY SPACES | Spend the morning in the kitchen of a local chef learning traditional South American recipes in an engaging cooking class. After the shared meal, continue the day with a guided architecture walk through ten public spaces shaped by Valparaíso’s unique topography and social rhythms. From plazas and staircases to hillside viewpoints, the tour brings the city’s built environment into focus through design, memory, and daily use. Together, the experiences offer an intimate look at how people live, gather, and create in this layered urban landscape.
DAY 3 – PHOTOS AND FLAVORS BY NIGHT | Start your final day with a photography walk in Playa Ancha led by a local artist. The session offers both visual guidance and personal stories as you capture the neighborhood’s layered textures and views. After a break, close the journey with a guided golden-hour experience through Valparaíso’s bars and gathering spots. As day fades into evening, conversation, music and movement bring the spirit of the city to life one last time.
WHERE TO STAY IN VALPARAÍSO | Choose Cerro Alegre or Cerro Concepción for easy access to morning walks, cafes, street art, and guided tours. These central hills are where most travelers stay and offer a safe, vibrant atmosphere.

This 3-day Marrakesh itinerary is textured, elegant, and sensory—a journey through art, craft, taste, and tradition. It offers a lens into the city’s creative pulse—not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of artists, chefs, and cultural storytellers who shape its rhythm. Expect curated encounters, intimate spaces, and a balance of guided immersion and reflective stillness.

DAY 1 – ART & DESIGN LEGACIES | Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a guided visit to Comptoir des Mines Galerie and dialogue with a local artist shaping Marrakesh’s present. In the afternoon, explore the creative legacy of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and wander the vibrant paths of Jardin Majorelle, where color, form, and botanical design meet in quiet harmony. End the day with dinner in a traditional riad—an atmospheric welcome to the city.

DAY 2 – SACRED RHYTHMS AND FLAVORS | Start early with Order of the Golden Triangle, a meditative walk through sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism in the old city. After lunch, explore the souks through the narrative lens of Heart and Souk in Marrakesh, then immerse yourself in Moroccan hospitality at Tasting Morocco, a hands-on experience at the Amal Center. As the sky turns golden, head to a rooftop above Djemaa El-Fna, where the city’s sights and sounds rise with the call to prayer.

DAY 3 – CRAFTS & CONTEMPORARY SPACES | Begin the day with A Hub of Moroccan Makers, a guided studio tour that introduces you to local artisans and their creative process, from traditional techniques to modern design. Afterward, take a quiet walk through the gardens of La Mamounia or spend time at your own pace. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Le Jardin, a courtyard restaurant tucked in the heart of the medina.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries.

Marrakesh, Seen Through Art

3 days in Marrakesh exploring Moroccan art, creativity, cuisine, and timeless design.

From the iconic Dubrovnik walls to the calm waters of Banje Beach, this three-day journey invites you to explore the city’s rich heritage and coastal beauty at your own pace. Walk through centuries of history, taste traditional Croatian food in atmospheric Old Town restaurants, and end your days with a golden boat ride in Dubrovnik’s shimmering bay.

DAY 1 – CITY WALLS AND FORTRESS | Begin your trip with a morning walk along Dubrovnik’s city walls. This 1.2-mile loop offers sweeping views over rooftops and sea, with countless photo moments along the way. For lunch, head to Proto Fish in the Old Town, known for its elegant terrace and fresh Adriatic seafood. In the afternoon, visit War Photo Limited, a striking gallery that documents human conflict through powerful photography. Continue to Lovrijenac Fortress, perched just outside the city walls, where stone stairs lead to panoramic views and centuries of defense history. In the evening, join a culinary walking tour led by locals. You’ll taste traditional dishes, hear family stories, and explore the city’s flavors through its oldest streets.

DAY 2 – BEACH, MOUNTAIN, AND SEA | Spend the morning at Banje Beach, just outside the Old Town gates. Swim in clear water, relax with a book, or simply take in the view of the city rising above the bay. After a midday break, make your way to Mount Srđ. Whether you hike or take the cable car, the view from the top is unforgettable, with wide horizons stretching over Dubrovnik and the coast. As the sun begins to set, step aboard a boat for a sunset cruise along the shoreline. The city glows behind you as the boat glides past islands and cliffs, closing the day on the water.

DAY 3 – MONASTIC AND BAROQUE HERITAGE | Start your day at the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, two of Dubrovnik’s most historic sanctuaries. These calm, beautiful places are filled with carved cloisters, quiet chapels, and traces of centuries past. For lunch, walk to Konoba Kopun, a small square near the Jesuit steps where traditional Dalmatian recipes are served with care. In the afternoon, explore Dubrovnik Cathedral, a baroque landmark filled with light, then visit the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of power in the Republic of Ragusa. As your final experience, leave the city behind and visit Trsteno, a coastal village known for its historic gardens. A guided walk and picnic offer a quiet, green farewell to your time in Dubrovnik.

WHERE TO STAY IN DUBROVNIK | If you want to be in the heart of it all, stay inside the Old Town. It’s full of charm but also crowds and stairs. For more space and sea views, choose neighborhoods like Ploče or Lapad just outside the walls. Both offer easy access while giving you a peaceful place to rest.
