Trip Activity Level

Activity Rating: 3 out of 5

This trip is rated 3 for easy active. It's a balanced combination of movement and relaxation with opportunities to increase or decrease your exertion. We travel by comfortable bus from 2 to 5 hours on travel days. Hikes are under 2 miles on paved, gravel roads or uneven terrain. All hikes and activities are optional and include time for resting. 

Trip Intention

This trip gives you the chance to source with us while traveling consciously, provide service, explore rural cultures, and enjoy the vast beauty that Mexico has to offer. Together we will source coffee from one of our direct trade farming partners, volunteer planting coffee trees, explore remote interiors of central Mexico and enjoy swimming holes and beaches as well.

Accommodations

We will be staying in old historic colonial villages and cities with some of the most beautiful views in the region. We will be lodging in hotels on this trip. No camping. Although we try to accommodate single rooms for singles and families, there may be some locations with limited room capacity where you will be grouped with a same sex roommate (in separate beds). However, you'll find every hotel to be comfortable and clean, and will absolutely love the culture and aesthetics that come with it.

Weather

The average high in May is 85F, the average low is 65F. Average rainfall is 3 inches in may. We are expecting dry, warm and sunny weather. 

Considerations While Packing

It will be hot (so shorts are common) but lightweight long pants are useful also for visits to the farms to protect you from mosquitos and brush. 

A layered clothing system for warm/hot/sunny days and cooler/cold evenings and nights or for cool/cloudy days is most efficient.

There will be a chance to have cloths washed while we are in Jonolta. This will likely be a hand-wash service and we do not recommend using it for fragile, expensive or irreplaceable items.

Packing Check List

Travel Documents. Don’t forget your...

1. Valid Passport
2. Airline Tickets
3. Daily itinerary. Sent by Jeff before traveling

Travel Money

$200 to $400 is usually more than enough money for souvenirs, extra food, drinks, wind surfing, etc. I usually convert half of my funds to Pesos right away at the Mexico City Airport, and then use ATM machines or convert more cash as needed later on.

Staying Connected. Combating FOMO...

While we recommend that to leave your device off or at home to enjoy the immersive experience that is being made available, we understand the need to stay connected with those back home. We suggest that you contact your cell phone carrier to set you up with a travel plan. This is usually $5 to $10 per day.

Electricity

Mexico uses outlets of types A & B with a voltage between 110 and 127 (similar to US so an adaptor or converter are unnecessary).

Travel Insurance

While we do not anticipate injuries, it is best to be prepared. Check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered Internationally. If not, travel insurance is relatively cheap and can often be purchased through one of the large US insurance providers.
