Workshop Description

All students will need two additional travel days. Plan to arrive by 2:00 PM the day before the workshop begins, so there will be sufficient time to get through customs and immigration at the airport and then take a taxi to Los Muertos pier to catch the 4:00 ponga (water taxi) for Yelapa. Students should plan on scheduling a flight on the day following the last day of the workshop. Or, if you want to stay on in Yelapa, let me know and I will be happy to help you find accomodations.
