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.

On Dec. 5, be a part of the ceremonial tree lighting. The ceremony offers live regional music and storytelling honoring the artisans’ journey, festive welcome drinks, meet and greets with the women who created the ornaments, and an ornament pop-up shop where guests can purchase their own hand-crafted ornaments.

Nov 12, 2025Why It’s Important to Teach Kids How to Use Maps
The next time you’re on a family travel road trip — even a short one — try giving your kids an old-fashioned paper road map.
