More with Destination:PEACE
Destination:PEACE, a volunteer
vacation company mixing philanthropy with travel throughout Mexico, has
announced its upcoming vacations for Spring 2011.
Destination:PEACE creates a
one-of-a-kind vacation experience in Mexico, where the traveler not only
feels the excitement of visiting a new location, but participates in
beneficial, community-driven activities. Each volunteer vacation is
unique in that they offer active, natural and cultural activities.
Depending on the season and location, some of the activities include
whale watching, hiking, bird watching, surfing, stand up paddle
boarding, yoga, visiting local hot springs and much more. Volunteer
experiences consist of helping to beautify a community through paint,
art, building and planting community gardens. Depending on the programs
in each town and community needs, volunteer opportunities vary.
