Vallarta Adventure Air Expeditions		San Sebastian Tequila & Guadalajara Huichol Indians
San Sebastian Air Expedition Air expeditions are one of the last great getaways. A brief flight up and into the heart of the Sierra Madres takes you far from the resorts and tourist centers frequented by most travelers. During the flight, you'll view marvelous sights - inaccessible to others - such as towering waterfalls, misty mountains carpeted in vegetation and remote settlements locked in time. The destination of this adventure is the old mining town of San Sebastian – a beautiful, antiquated village dating back to 1605, tucked away in a deep mountain valley. Other than saddling up a mule or making your way on foot, this is the only was you can access these isolated areas, especially during the summer months.

Through the ages, they have successfully escaped the influences of the modern world by secluding themselves in the inaccessible reaches of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The Sierra Madre is so rugged that the Spaniards left it alone during their conquest of Mexico, and noted revolutionary leader Pancho Villa chose to hide there during the Mexican Revolution. For centuries, this challenging geography has been the homeland of the Huichol, who today number about 16,000. Believed to be direct descendents of the Aztecs, the Huichol are a determined and very private civilization, whose everyday lives are inexplicably intertwined with what they perceive to be the mysticism of the natural world. Small, closely integrated settlements are scattered among the mountains, connected only by rocky paths carved into cliffs, often thousands of feet high. These communities come together in one of five ceremonial sites that serve as the main political, religious and administrative centers for the Huichol.
