Location, location, location! In our review of tourism portals, one suggestion is that most tourism websites need to SHOW the places they're talking about.

CURRENT WORK (2008)

Oaxaca's Historic Trees - We are working with Francisco Verástegui to create an interactive map that shows the location of notable and historic trees of Oaxaca.

Walk with the Weavers - Working with weavers in Teotitlán del Valle, we are locating their workshops via Google Earth.
