TAILWIND JUNGLE LODGE Retreat Center Bliss on the Mexican Pacific www.tailwindjunglelodge.com
The jungle experience awaits... True Paradise! I will return and encourage others to come and experience this heaven on earth. Chalese, Dec. 2008 It was a pure blessing to have found the Tailwind jungle lodge to host my annual Kundalini Yoga Retreat for 2010. I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you to the amazing Jacobi family for taking such great care of myself and my guests. Upon arriving, I had many visions attached to what I thought the Lodge would be like, based on photos from the website. I never could have imagined such an endearing, magical place. It was like being in paradise! The functionality of your space and your dedication to preserving and maintaining the natural environment was astounding. My guests and myself were in awe at the beauty of the experience. Siri Gopal, Nov. 2010

The Tailwind Story The Tailwind dream was conjured over the course of many long distance wilderness expeditions. The dreams of the adventurous and ambitious Jacobi family slowly turned into reality and the Tailwind lodge was founded in 2007. The creation of this business has been one of the greatest and most challenging adventures that the family has undertaken! In March 2009, the Tailwind vision came true, as it became the first certified sustainable eco-lodge in Mexico. This certification, through Sustainable Travel International, represents not only Tailwind s commitment to sustainability, but also that we ve come a long way since our daydreams in the wilds. We hope to share our jungle home with you soon! The adventures of the Jacobi Family have included: Sea kayaking 850 miles of the Baja s Sea of Cortez Mountaineering up Pico de Orizba, 3 rd highest peak in North America Mountain biking 2000 miles of the USA s Continental Divide Backpacking VT s Long Trail (270 miles) and California s John Muir Trail (220 miles)
