No tagsWe know farewells are sad, but we are certain that every change is a new opportunity to get better and grow. Saying goodbye to Ceci after having her as leader of PEACE Punta Mita isn’t easy at all, but she has laid the foundations for the strong and successful organization that PEACE is today.
Ceci took the role of Executive Director on April 01, 2013 of PEACE Punta de Mita A.C., and her presence was critical to the start-up, it was thanks to her leadership and profound effort that the process of winding up the old Peace, and starting up the new PEACE was such a successful achievement.
Her strong leadership abilities were the driving force behind the successful introduction of the new PEACE strategy of improving the lives of the local villagers by investing in the next generation, children & youths, focusing principally on education.
Not only overseeing already implemented programs such as Avanza and Computers, Ceci orchestrated new ones, including Campeones, and most notably the English Program which excels by reaching over 1,200 students in the community to improve invaluable second language skills, whilst creating social change. Four years on, Ceci is now closing this chapter of her life with PEACE to seek new challenges.
With the reorganizing of the PEACE team, Ceci will be passing the torch to new Executive Director, Ali Elías and the team. In addition to this mentoring role, she will also be dedicating herself to some key projects, including an amazing new PEACE Learning Center which will be built on land provided by Dine. We thank Ceci for her determined leadership and profound contribution to start PEACE in difficult times, and to launch it on its path of success.
To wish Ceci farewell, PEACE staff organized a surprise gathering to celebrate her achievements and wish her well on her ventures! Members of the community, including SEP, The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort and Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita staff, along with students and their families, met in the “Casa de la Tercera Edad“ to surprise Ceci. The night was full of great music, traditional dance, and memories, with great food and drink supplied by the hotels and community members.
We wish you nothing but the best Ceci, good luck in your new projects and thank you so much for all your love and devotion for this community.
¡Buena Suerte Ceci!

No tagsShe really likes it! US actor and model Catherine Bell seems to have found in the Riviera Nayarit a favorite haven, as in the past three months she’s twice chosen Punta Mita, the Glamour Peninsula, for her vacations.
This time Bell celebrated the 4th of July festivities Mexican-style, toasting to the United States’ independence with tequila and enjoying regional dishes, including the pescado zarandeado.
After her first visit—which took place in May—the celebrity fell in love with the Riviera Nayarit’s gorgeous natural scenery and the excellent service received during her stay at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita. So much so, that she promised to return… and she did!
By June 28th Bell was already “counting the days” until her return to the destination, announcing her visit on social media and thrilled to this time be “with the kids,” since in May her trip was a solo one.
The actor and model once again booked a stay at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita where she was treated like a queen, as can be seen in the images she shared on her social media accounts. In the pics, Catherine is captured fully enjoying the hotel’s amenities and there’s a record of her visit to the Islas Marietas National Park, where she even hopped on a paddleboard.
“And another magical day in paradise!? Thank you for such a special day Waldo!” she wrote, referring to the guide who took her to visit the Islas Marietas. Bell also posted a picture of her daughter, Gemma, on a boat floating across from Playa del Amor with the caption: “My pretty ‘little’ girl! Amazing family vacation!”
The response from her followers on Instagram was immediate, with messages of appreciation for sharing such beautiful pictures and asking her whereabouts on the one she posted of her on a paddleboard.
Catherine Bell has 41.2 thousand followers on her official Instagram account, 35.4 thousand on her Facebook account and 72.7 thousand on Twitter.
The British actor and model is remembered for her role as Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie in the seriesJAG, where she worked between 1996 and 2005. From 2007 forward she can be seen playing Denise Sherwood in the Lifetime TV drama, Army Wives.
Her first appearance on the big screen was as Isabella Rossellini’s body double in the movie Death Becomes Her. Afterwards she participated in movies such as Men of War, Black Thunderand Bruce Almighty, with Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman. Other credits include Alien Nation: Body and Soul, Cab to Canada, The Time Shifters, Company Town and, more recently, The Good Witch and its sequel, The Good Witch’s Garden.
No tagsPunta Mita Ocean Sports Team has prepared an amazing summer activity for all the younger members of the family who will be spending their vacations in Punta Mita.
From August 1st – 10th, a professional team will conduct a summer camp specially design to teach kids water sports such as Stand Up Paddle, Surfing, sailing, water safety and environmental education.
The program is run in an inclusive, non-competitive environment with real focus on building self-esteem. We use games, drills & SUP activities to ensure that our SUPKids walk away with vital water safety skills that will stay them for life. We’ve taken environmental education out of the classroom, to the outdoors, where we think it belongs.
With a passion for SUP comes a responsibility to take care of our environment. Our vision is to create experiences for our SUPKids that will enhance their appreciation, respect & understanding for sustainable living.
SUPKids Summer Camp is based on five core lessons and has been developed for kids aged 5-12. It can be delivered as a 5 day camp (during school holidays), or as a condensed one day activity.
Each SUPKid receives a free eco pack on registration (SUPKids backpack, workbook, water bottle and stickers).

It seems like it was yesterday when Ceci Paredes was taking on the role of Executive Director of PEACE Punta de Mita, but it’s been 4 years already!
Back in 2013, Ceci was critical to the start-up as it was due to her leadership and profound effort that the process of winding up the old Peace, and starting up the new PEACE was such a successful achievement. Her strong leadership abilities were the driving force behind the successful introduction of the new PEACE strategy of improving the lives of the local villagers by investing in the next generation, children & youths, focusing principally on education.
Not only overseeing already implemented programs such as Avanza and Computers, Ceci orchestrated new ones, including Campeones, and most notably the English Program which excels by reaching over 1,200 students in the community to improve invaluable second language skills, whilst creating social change. Four years on, Ceci is now closing this chapter of her life with PEACE to seek new challenges. With the reorganizing of the PEACE team, Ceci will be passing the torch to new Executive Director, Ali Elías and the team. Ali Elías, previously PEACE Education Supervisor, obtained her law degree at the University of Tepic, and moved to the Punta de Mita area in 2005. Ali began working with PEACE as a teacher over 8 years ago. Prior to the start-up of the new PEACE, she was a teacher at the PEACE Center and played the key leadership role in the success of the AVANZA program. When the PEACE English Program expanded in April 2015, Ali was promoted to Education Supervisor – responsible for over 80% of the PEACE operating budget, in which her experience and determination greatly contributed to the successful partnership between PEACE and SEP [Secretaria de Educacion Publica].
Following the foundations that Ceci has laid down, Ali will continue to meet PEACE’s mission that aims to influence social change within the local villages, focusing and investing in education for the younger generation. Ali’s enthusiastic child-centered teaching method has inspired and changed the lives of many local children, and her successful method has been adopted by the PEACE teaching staff. She plans to continue growing the solid PEACE relationship with the Punta de Mita local community, and will manage the various PEACE programs and initiatives, overseeing the positive impact on local’s lives.
Ceci will continue working with PEACE but now with a mentoring role, she will also be dedicating herself to some key projects, including an amazing new PEACE Learning Center which will be built on land provided by Dine.
We thank Ceci for all the hard work done for the community in the past years and we wish her nothing but the best in her new project. At the same time, we would like to con congratulate Ali for her new position wishing her a bright future with PEACE, we are sure that she’ll take this amazing organization to the next level.

No tagsPrepare rods and reels for the 11th International Marlin And Tuna Tournament! The competition, organized by the Bahía de Banderas Sport Fishing Club, promises plenty of adrenaline for lovers of sport fishing.
The tournament will take place from July 20th-22nd at the Vallarta Yacht Club, hosted by the Paradise Village Hotel in Nuevo Vallarta.
The competition attracts the top fishermen in the country and abroad, called up by the Bahía de Banderas Sport Fishing Club, headed by David Zaragoza Camacho.
Experts consider Mexico’s Pacific Treasure as one of the best destinations for sport fishing thanks to its more than 300 km of coastline and plentiful catches for wahoo, sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna, marlin, roosterfish, sawfish and red snapper, among others, guaranteeing excellent fishing any time of year.
It also boasts modern marinas, personnel trained to repair fiberglass hulls, luxury hotels, restaurants and the type of infrastructure required for this specific sport.
Categories and prizes
Organizers have created four categories for the competition, two of which are in the title and offer the top prizes: tuna and marlin. Sailfish and mahi-mahi also have top billing. Catch and release is the modality of the day, as well as Fishing One, which refers to the marlin, tune and sailfish with the best weight on record for the tournament. There is also an award for best crew.
Regulations
In keeping with their standards of excellence, the Bahía de Banderas Fishing Club requires fishermen to comply with their minimum weight standards for catches and encourages them to practice ecologically correct fishing.
They strive to protect the species so are only qualifying marlin weighing over 100 kg, sailfish over 25 kg, tuna over 30 kg and mahi-mahi over 10 kg.
Competitors can register teams of up to four people per boat, though a lesser number of crew is acceptable. Every team must designate a captain to represent them.
Enrollment and registration
Enrollment and registration will take place on July 20 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Paradise Village Yacht Club in Nuevo Vallarta.
Cost of enrollment is 15 thousand pesos per boat. For more information visit www.fishingnayarit.com, call (322) 225 5467 or send an email to info@clubdepesca.org.mx.
