El Día · $495 for two

One day. Designed for you.
Filmed for you.

Eight or nine hours, built from a conversation, hosted by me, with the film on your phone before you sleep.

What it is

The whole day, and nothing you have to organise.

We talk before you arrive. You tell me what you love and I build a day around it. Then I pick you up, and for the next eight or nine hours you do not decide anything, carry anything or pay for anything.

I drive. I do the talking, in Spanish where it matters. I know which cenote is empty on a Tuesday and which taquería runs out by ten. And the whole time, I am photographing and filming, because I am also the photographer.

One group a day. I do not stack two, and I do not rush the first one to get to the second.

A day like this

One day I designed.

For a couple from Chicago who said: nature, food, no crowds, and please no bus.

6:40am

The cenote before anyone elseThree on that road. Everyone stops at the first one because it has a sign. We go to the third.

9:30am

Breakfast with Doña MariCochinita, tortillas by hand on the comal. She opens at seven and it is gone by ten.

12:00pm

Don Efra and the meliponasStingless bees, kept the way the Maya have for a thousand years. You will taste the honey.

2:30pm

The long lunchA kitchen with four tables and no sign. This is usually the part people talk about after.

5:30pm

Golden hourThe light here is best forty minutes before sunset. I will know where we need to be standing.

10:00pm

Your filmCut, graded, on your phone. Ready to send to your mum before you fall asleep.

And none of this will be your day. It is an example, not a menu.

Questions

About this one specifically.

Is $495 per person?

No. It is $495 for two people, everything in. Each extra guest is $85, up to six.

What if it rains?

We change the day. Rain here usually lasts an hour and I know where to be for that hour.

How far will we drive?

As far as the day needs, usually between forty minutes and two hours each way. You will not be in the car all day.

Can we say what we want to do?

Please do. But the more you tell me about what you like rather than where you want to go, the better the day gets.

Are the photos really included?

Yes, all of them, at full resolution, with no watermark and nothing else to buy.

Tell me what you love.
I’ll build the day.

No forms full of questions you don’t care about. Four quick things, and then I write back myself, usually within a couple of hours.
