This was an enlightening and gratifying experience. I had an unapparelled time and will definitely return soon. Juan del Bosque is an excellent person and host! Everything was as described and more! I felt very comfortable and warmly invited from the beginning. Juan truly opens his home and his life for his guests to share. I can't overemphasize the safety, security, and acceptance felt by being with locals. You'll meet a very cool community, not just an individual for a project. I learned so much about nature and the indigenous culture. It's a life expanding experience! Mil Gracias
