Valle de Bravo

What Makes It Magical

It’s as if this place’s mission were to get you in touch with the most primitive natural elements. The immense, beautiful lake is the center of action. The air sparks one’s adventurous spirit. Mexico’s best sailboat operators hail from here, and hang- and paragliding are tremendously fun ways to see it all from above. The land is rich in beauty, with breathtaking mountainous landscapes of green as far as the eye can see. Last but not least, spirit-soothing fire in hearths, bonfires, and temascals offers a chance for continual rebirth.
