Presenting
an artful tour of
Mexico City

October 19th – October 24th, 2016

 

Join CAMIBAart for five night and four full days as we explore the diverse art of Mexico City on a tour that is personally curated and led by CAMIBAart founders Troy Campa and Rene Ibarra.

This tour is created with flexibility in mind, allowing each guest to determine the speed and structure they desire, while providing access to a wide variety of experiences.

Each morning the group will enjoy art-centric excursions together.
