Mexico 2025 trip!

Hi there!

We have updated the brochure for the Mexico 2025 trip.

The most notable update is that we have brought down the price and will cover most internal costs into the total price of $975 to make the trip simpler for our members.

Now the only external costs are the hotel, flight and food, with admission tickets and internal travel covered. 

Please if you are interested in the trip, download our updated brochure at the  link at the end of this email.

If you have not already expressed interest, please respond to iwscanada@gmail.com with “interested” in the text of the email. 

We will be having another info meeting during our next zoom meeting on Sunday December 29th at 7pm EST. We will require at least a verbal commitment by December 31 with full payment due by January 15th. 

Please follow this link for full details on the trip, and feel free to email us at iwscanada@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Mexico … Here we come !!!

Hi there!

We have some updates on our planned Mexico tour in February 2025.

Our trip this year will include visiting Coyoacan in Mexico City, hosted by Tere Lojero of IWS Mexico, and with an added feature of a trip to San Miguel de Allende.

There will be the option to visit only Mexico City for the first 3 days should you wish to carry on to somewhere else, as the trip to San Miguel de Allende is several hours by bus, and this may be too far for some.

Tere is working on locations to keep our Coyoacan trip fresh for those who attended last year, but exciting for new attendees.

Of course a centrepiece of the tour is the Alfredo Guati Rojo Watercolour museum.

Our dates will be as follows. • 18 February – Arrive in Mexico City • 22 to 25 Visit to San Miguel de Allende • Return on 26 February from San Miguel de Allende. We will have a minimum of 8 people, and a maximum of 15

If you are interested in receiving more information about this trip, please reply to iwscanada@gmail.com with “interested” and we will put you on the list for more information as it develops.
