JOURNEYS BEYOND THE SURFACE
FACILITATING ENCOUNTERS … BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
Want to explore Mexico City---the living, breathing city?
Explore the vibrant chaos of Mexico City....go beyond the standard tourist destinations and tap into our
network of local activists, artists, leaders, and thinkers to learn first-hand what is happening now in the
Mexico City metropolitan area.
We are a bridge available for people who are interested in Mexico City and want to have a personal
interaction with the city. In addition to being the political and economic hub of the country, the
city is home to many vibrant social movements, archeological and historical sites and a rich cultural
scene. Those who visit often marvel at the relative cleanliness and friendliness of “el D.F.”, as it
is known. We can help you design a wide variety of day-long educational or cultural trips, and accompany
you on the trip. Choose from our topics or request one of your own!
EDUCATIONAL JOURNEYS - Interested in Mexican society, politics, environment or culture? We can plan an
encounter with people and civil society organizations involved in your area of interest. Choose from 8
broad areas, with 4 to 10 topics under each - or request topics of your own. Some of our issue areas are:
Art as a reflection of society

TRANSLATION ONLY
Perhaps you already have your own agenda, but don’t speak Spanish. We can help bridge the gap
with hours of simultaneous translation -- have a real conversation with your counterpart! To read
others’ opinions of our translation service, see the Testimonials page on our website.
JOURNEY PHILOSOPHY
We can show you a slice of Mexico - of Mexico City in particular -- that you may not be able to see
otherwise. We will not show you a rosy-colored exotic country, nor the paralyzing drama of helpless
poverty - instead, we seek to expose you to a small part of a many-sided reality that is neither
black nor white, neither evil nor good, always evolving, always alive. Our offer is to open a
window for you to glimpse the specific experience of parts of Mexico, very close to and yet very far from your own world.
