Testimonials
“We had an amazing time on the magical…trip to Mexico with La Capitana herself. The city was in its full regalia overflowing with the flowers … and our week was filled with the vibrant colors, food and culture found only in Mexico. Lorenza did an incredible job curating this wonderful trip and it included activities and visits to artisans that we would not have been able to organize on our own. I left knowing I genuinely would recommend this trip to anyone interested in exploring this slice of Mexico and especially during the beautiful celebration of Dias de los Muertos. Lorenza made this trip feel effortless, fun and unforgettable.”
