Cinco de Mayo in Cholula and Puebla

Keep in mind that this outline is to give you a general idea of what to expect on a trip with SaND Travel but itineraries are not finalized until 2 weeks before departure. That is when you will receive more details about excursions, transportation, accommodations, and everyone’s favorite - food!

Pre-Trip

Before the adventure begins we will host a workshop to make sure you are prepared for the experience. You will get to meet other participants traveling at the same time as you and the team! We will be going into more detail about what to expect during the experience, provide materials like packing-list and schedule breakdown and have our first reflection space. We will be answering questions and leaving you excited for the journey.
