Marina Vallarta And Piñata Art Experience

OVERVIEW

Browse the exclusive marina that has transformed coastal Puerto Vallarta and then head to a hacienda in the countryside for an entertaining class in piñata-making. A monumental sculpture of a humpback whale and calf – which a Mexican artist created to symbolize the importance of family – will be among the first sights you see in Marina Vallarta. You will also discover that there is more to this luxurious setting than yachts as you wander about the upscale shops and galleries. Art is also the focus of the experience at the hacienda, where you will learn step by step how to make a piñata, a handicraft that in Mexico dates to the 16th century. Whether traditional or contemporary, the designs of these vibrant icons filled with candy and treats are often highly symbolic. Following the workshop, you will enjoy lunch and time to shop for ceramics and folk art that the indigenous Huichol people created.
