Old traditions in new places

Thanksgiving Day is about being grateful for everything that happens in your life. Be grateful for the good things because they make you happy and for the bad things because they make you wiser and stronger. Don’t forget to be grateful for the wonderful people you know and love and for those you meet every day.

It’s a blessing to travel, to discover new places and cultures. Celebrating Thanksgiving Day away from home is a precious experience you get to share with your loved ones. Don’t worry; wherever you go, the festive dinner will include turkey, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin pie. And the atmosphere will be completed with fireworks and music.

The history of Wirikuta

Wirikuta is a sacred site and pilgrimage place in the mountains of Central Mexico. Huichol Indians do a sacred journey every year, covering over 250 miles and collecting peyote (a kind of cactus) along the way. They believe this ritual allows them to speak with their ancestors and gods. It’s a ritual that brings together families and communities, enhancing cultural values and helping people find strength and meaning. Wirikuta is a Natural Sacred Area protected by UNESCO.
