Alberto
“Its basically all about community. About sharing experiences to benefit a larger amount of people and the environment that provides for us. That’s what I learned on our Mixteca journey through Oaxaca. I came close to the people that live off the land and went home with a different and broader understanding of the region and its culture. Oh, and by the way, the views are jaw dropping.”
Fernanda
“The hike to the Nevado de Toluca was perfect for me in more than 1 sense. A trip with deep nature connexion, self-awareness, anecdotes, laughter, effort, sighs, valuable silences, and of course, delicious food. I went out of my comfort zone with 10 strangers; as hours passed by, we became great companions. Thanks to Chance to Challenge for allowing everything to fall into place in this amazing way, for more experiences like this one!”

“Spectacular, it was very unexpected. I envisioned a normal walk and it turned out to be a magnificent hike.”
