TRONCONES is a small beach village near Zihuatanejo on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Zihua has a small, easy-to-navigate international airport; taxis wait to drive you about half an hour to Troncones along tranquil country roads. Troncones has numerous hotels from budget to extravagant, ditto
restaurants, and no loud music venues or huge resort hotels. The ocean hosts spectacular sunrises and sunsets, many pelicans and opportunities for boogie boarding. The retreat venue has two large grassy lawns, shaded by tall palm trees. Two cats, lovely landscaping, a swimming pool, six rooms with outdoor covered kitchens, a gazabo, talkative birds, and gates right onto the beach complete the site.
You are welcome to join us for this retreat, or both, see listing for February 4 – 8. You can see photos from the 2024 retreats here:
