John Slattery & Doña Olga Ruiz: Herbal Traditions of Mexico Trip, April 7-10, 2011 – Mexico
This one-of-a-kind trip offers three full days and nights of guided travel and exploration through the foothills and coastal thornscrub of the Sonoran desert culminating with a traditional foods feast on the beach with our Seri hosts from the village of Punta Chueca.
We will receive a full presentation from this family of herbalists including a walk through the nearby mountains and the estuary. Doña Olga Ruiz of Imuris, Sonora, will be accompanying us for the whole trip sharing her wealth of knowledge of all things natural gained through decades of travel through this region.
Price includes two out-of-this-world traditional foods feasts with our Seri hosts (foods not to be found elsewhere), and an exclusive night of beach camping with our hosts accompanied by traditional singing and music. A deposit of $150 is required by March 30, 2011. Limited space available. To register, please contact John at 520.275.2105 or desertortoisebotanicals@gmail.com.
