The Surreal Side of Mexico

Come to Mexico to explore, not just the wonderful chaos of Mexico City, but also the enchanting surreal world created by Edward James deep in the jungle. 

Let us plan for you a truly exceptional experience in Mexico.

Begin your weekend by flying into Mexico City. Whether you choose to stay in a beautiful suite at one of our favorite hotels or at an incredible penthouse flat with a spectacular roof terrace, we won’t steer you wrong. Start your night at Supra, sipping beautiful cocktails and trying different mezcals while enjoying the sunset from the best full 360 views of the city. Follow this with dinner at the hottest new restaurant, where you can try the flavors of Mexican food with an international twist. If you want to keep on going, we can arrange a guest-list and table at a number of the most exciting clubs in the city.

The next morning, after breakfast on a sunshine-scattered terrace, hop on a private plane to the tangled depths of the incredible Huasteca Potosina jungle. In the 1940s an eccentric English millionaire, Edward James, arrived in Xilitla. Fascinated with art and nature, he built one of the largest monuments of the twentieth century that was never finished, known as Las Pozas. A surrealist architectural dream world deep in the jungle, somewhere that seems to be out of time and space.  

Stay at his house in the village next to this creation. Spend the afternoon by the pool or exploring the local town. In the evening, on the terrace overlooking all the natural beauty and surreal secrets, we will arrange a magical evening, designed by a Mexican chef, to be as captivating as the dreamlike world around you. 

The next morning, take a private tour with a local expert in the beguiling world of Edward James’ strange castle in the jungle. Don’t try to understand, just experience and take it all in. You’ll continue to delight your senses at a lunch created using local ingredients and flavors, before flying back to Mexico City and then home. 

A long weekend filled with magical memories of a truly enchanting experience. 

Why not turn this trip into something extra special with friends?  We can easily add other experiences to the weekend away and create a truly magical night of fun and mischief.

Please enquire to turn this into a reality of your own.
