 Take our Huichol Indian Tours >>
The Huichols are one of the few civilizations in the world that has not lost their cultural identity to Western influences - and perhaps the last tribe in North America who still live much as they did in Pre-Columbian times.
Believed to be direct descendants of the Aztecs, the Huichols are a warm-hearted and enduring people who romanticize their past, clinging tenaciously to their lifestyle, language, rituals and customs - despite the ever-increasing physical and cultural encroachment of the modern world.
The Huichol's strong ceremonial traditions and rich mythology are reflected in the visionary artwork that they create to record and preserve their beliefs, rituals, visions and spiritual identity.
The traditional techniques used to create each handcrafted gourd, mask, sculpture, or piece of jewelry are handed down from generation to generation, in order to preserve the Huichol's religious and cultural identity.
Our eye-opening, half-day tour to this sacred land offers you the unique opportunity to step into the Huichols' way of life - and a world that is central to a mesmerizing legend, dating back over 2000 years.
Escape to this rural hideaway in the Sierra Madre Mountains - and discover the Secret World of the Huichol Indians.
