Roots That Shine: The Christmas Tree at Punta Mita
Roots That Shine is a living tribute inspired by the artisanal heritage of San Sebastián del Oeste, a historic village in the Sierra Madre mountains. The tree celebrates family, community and the bounty of the Nayarit Jungle with hand-painted clay ornaments created by a group of local women. Garlands with dried citrus, tropical foliage and bright flowers wrap the tree and bring a sense of natural beauty to the display.
