Traditions Cultural Journeys creates intimate, highly curated travel experiences focused on traditional arts, textiles, foodways, village life, and the deep cultural knowledge carried by Indigenous and rural communities.

Formerly known as Traditions Mexico, our work has expanded from Mexico into Peru, Guatemala, and other parts of the Americas.
Founded by photographer, author, and cultural guide Eric Mindling, Traditions has been designing rare, relationship-based journeys since 1996. Our work grows from decades of immersion, long-standing friendships, and a deep respect for the people whose creativity, wisdom, and ways of life continue to shape the Americas. |
These are not ordinary tours. Each journey is personally researched and carefully built around meaningful encounters: master artisans, local hosts, village markets, family kitchens, ceremonial landscapes, and cultural traditions that are difficult to access without years of trust.
We work with private groups, museums, cultural organizations, collectors, artists, and thoughtful travelers who want to go beyond sightseeing and enter a more respectful relationship with place. |
Our work with IFAM

What we create
Our journeys are designed for small groups and private organizations seeking a deeper encounter with traditional culture. Master textile artists, potters, cooks, market vendors, cultural leaders, farmers, healers, musicians, and families.
The emphasis is always on relationship, context, beauty, and respect.
