Happy New Year to our friends!

If you’ve been following Borderlandia these past two months, you’ve seen it unfold in real time. We’ve been building something.

Markets at dawn in Hermosillo. Long tables, bacanora poured slowly, stories told without a script. Álamos is not a destination—but as a living town that reveals itself only to those who stay long enough.

What you’ve seen on our channels has been groundwork.

Since our last edition in November, we’ve been back in Sonora—deep in kitchens, agave fields, and conversations—reconnecting with the people who make this region what it is. The cooks, producers, musicians, and families who don’t perform culture but live it daily.

And now, we’re opening the door for you to join us.

January 2026 — Hermosillo Culinary Tour
This is Sonora at its clearest. Cooler days, serious cooking, and a chance to understand the region’s food on its own terms—desert, cattle, wheat, smoke, and time. This tour is for people who want a cultural and culinary context.

February 2026 — Álamos Experience
A slower rhythm. Courtyards, music, home cooking, and history that still breathes. Álamos in February is intimate, generous, and deeply human—if you’re introduced the right way.

That’s what Borderlandia does.

These are really not tours. They’re hosted experiences, built on years of trust and months of preparation. Groups are small. Space is limited. And every year, they fill quickly.

If what you’ve seen lately has resonated—this is your invitation.

We’d love to host you,

Alex

P.S. We have had a couple of cancellations for our previously sold-out September 2026 Basque Borderlands Adventure, so we have reopened registration for those two spots. Jump on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
