Chiapas
March 15-23, 2008
Tierra del Sol is responding to popular demand to organize our first ever program in the fascinating state of Chiapas.  Having been in Chiapas on our own several times, we think this Semana Santa (Holy Week) program will be one of the most exciting we have had.  From the Mayan highlands to the jungles of Palenque and Bonampak, Chiapas is a treat for all the senses. ($1400)

The Magic of Pátzcuaro
May 31- June 8, 2008 (At the Mansión Iturbe)
From our base in the lovely old center of the Purépecha civilization on the shores of the lake of the same name, we will explore much of the central Michoacán, one of Mexico's most fascinating states. ($1325)

Food and Photography in San Miguel de Allende
June 14-21, 2008
Since the 1930s San Miguel de Allende has been a favorite place in Mexico for artists, writers, ex-pats, and tourists of all sorts.  The first sight of the red tile roofs, the Parroquia church dominating the center of town, and the quaint shops and homes along the cobblestone streets immediately convinces the visitor they have come upon the quintessential Mexico. ($2235)

Dia de los Muertos en Oaxaca
October 27 - November 3, 2008
Eighteen years ago we advised people to "have the time of your life on the Day of the Dead." Hundreds of people have done just that in our most popular program. Despite the ever increasing popularity of this event, Tierra del Sol takes you beyond the tour buses to experience the moving and colorful events of the Day of the Dead in Oaxaca. During the week we also visit archaeological sites, indigenous markets, artisans and artists, and enjoy some of the best of the famed Oaxaca cuisine. ($1385)

Thanksgiving in Cuernavaca - With Visits to Tepoztlán, Taxco, Mexico City and Cocoyoc
November 22-29, 2008
Thanksgiving is not a Mexican holiday but turkeys were indigenous to the Americas so why not give thanks in the city of "eternal springtime". A week of touring Cuernavaca, Taxco, Tepoztlán, Cocoyoc, and visiting the museums in Mexico City devoted to the life and work of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo will be interspersed with soaking up the sun and enjoying fine food at a large family compound in Cuernavaca. ($1295)
