Mushroom Foraging
Leave all your stress behind as we embark on a week of touring and foraging in four microclimates of the Sierra Madre Norte. On this trip we gather mushrooms in the mornings and transform them into delectable treats with local cocineras in the afternoons. A local mycologist will help us identify each variety. Staying in cabañas in the forest, this is a total immersion course, as we hike through the woods, and have a full range of mountain encounters.
