THURSDAY, JANUARY 25 — HUATULCO, OAXACA, MEXICO: 8am – 2pm

Venture into coastal Oaxaca’s beach resort region for a relaxing day in beautiful land and sea scenery. You can take an excursion into rural villages to see how much of Oaxacan life is lived, shop for folk art and crafts in the area’s resorts, take a raft trip on the Copalita River, glide offshore in a catamaran, or do a little snorkeling. A long lingering lunch of legendary Oaxacan food is an excellent goal, too!
