https://www.humanconnections.orgHuman Connections is a nonprofit working at the intersection of tourism and international development. Since 2011, our team has been based in BucerÃas, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where we have developed partnerships with local artisans, entrepreneurs, and organizations. We connect these local partners with international visitors through carefully curated, educational itineraries. There is a lot of flexibility on what the focus of your own trip itinerary is, so we can cater it to what makes sense for your group.
