Mexico is one of the most diverse, colorful and photogenic countries in Latin America. Unique motifs in the field of landscape and portrait photography await you in the different regions of the country. You can still feel the magic of the ancient high culture of the Mayas in many places in the country. Are you a beginner who would like to deepen your photographic knowledge in unusual places, or an advanced user looking for new, unknown photo motifs? Then this trip is just right for you!

On our journey we will always be in the right place at the right time to photograph the respective motifs in the perfect light. Our shootings focus on landscapes with different flora and fauna, Mayan cultural sites, colonial cities and the people of Mexico with their traditional customs and cultures.

The photo tour took place only during the Mexican winter, when the country has comfortable and dry temperatures, making it the best time for our trip. The Caribbean Sea will appear in intense turquoise tones under a blue sky, the jungles of Chiapas will shine in lush green and the mountain landscapes of Oaxaca will allow far-reaching views in the dry season. Due to the high demand, since the rainy season also provides breathtaking photo moments, this photo tour will also take place in the rainy season from 2025.
A photo trip through Mexico will definitely make your photographer's heart beat faster!

➢ Day 1

✔ Cancun:

We chose to start the tour in Cancun because the flight connections are much easier and cheaper than Mexico City.

After individual pickup at the airport in Cancún, we check into our hotel near the Caribbean Sea.

In the course of the tour we will not always be so spoiled and sometimes have to go to a hostel, but here too we will always have a room to ourselves.

We also think this is very important because you need a retreat to develop your ideas.

In the afternoon we will meet and get to know each other all together. If you have any questions, I am always at your disposal.

This not only on this afternoon, so please always come to me for questions.

This afternoon I will also introduce you to the photo tour through the unique Mexico and a workshop on travel and night photography.

From now on there are two exciting photo adventure weeks ahead of us. Afterwards we photograph our first sunset in Mexico. During dinner together and exciting conversations, we get in the mood for the upcoming adventure.

After a well-deserved break, we take photos of the ruins of Muyil in the jungle in the afternoon. A magical place where few tourists get lost. Afterwards we meet a model in the traditional costume of the Mayas, the "huipil", in a nearby jungle. During a hike through the dense green, we will portray the young Mayan woman in this very special ambience.

During the colonial period, they remained undiscovered in the depths of the jungle, allowing them to carry on the traditions of their ancestors undisturbed. In the morning we visit the last shaman who will perform a private Mayan ceremony for us. To get to know the villagers and their culture better, we will visit some Lacandons in their homes. In the afternoon we explore the Lacandon jungle together with a group of Mayans. There are wonderful photo opportunities in the dense green of the jungle with its huge tropical trees.

Petrified Waterfalls
Today we leave before dawn to the Petrified Falls. The rock formations appearing in yellow and brown tones, which were created over thousands of years by spring water containing minerals, extend over a mountain landscape with breathtaking panoramic views.

Back in Oaxaca, professional Mexican portrait photographer Fernando Cruz will accompany us in the afternoon. Fernando is a master of light production and will conduct a workshop on the subject with us. We will do photo shoots with models in different Oaxacan costumes in the historical center of Oaxaca.
