Eduardo Sampere, Resort Manager at Naviva, sums it up perfectly: “Autumn at Naviva is a season for beauty and reflection. We invite guests to experience the change in seasons in the heart of nature, where they can connect deeply with Mexican culture while preparing for the festive season ahead in our serene, forested sanctuary.”
Celebrating Culture and Craftsmanship
As the forest surrounding the resort begins its quiet transformation, Naviva’s autumn program kicks off with a lively Mexican Independence Weekend celebration from September 13-17, 2024. Marking Mexico’s 103rd Independence Day on September 16, the resort invites guests to join in the festivities.
Visitors can indulge in traditional culinary feasts highlighting the diverse flavors of Mexico, from the smoky nuances of regional cooking techniques to rare flavors like raicilla, a locally produced agave spirit hailing from the Nayarit and Jalisco regions. These celebrations not only honor Mexico’s independence but also capture the vibrant essence of autumn through the nation’s rich culinary heritage.
In mid-October, Naviva will host “Nature’s Story: Creator and Artist In-Residence Weekend” from October 17-20, 2024, guided by local artist Javiera Pintocanales. This immersive experience encourages guests to channel the beauty of autumn into their own creativity.
Inspired by the changing light and landscape, participants can engage in artistic activities like watercolor painting, botanical printmaking, and bookbinding. With Pintocanales as their guide, guests will have the chance to explore their own imagination while appreciating the artistry of others, all against the backdrop of Naviva’s serene environment.
