Valle de Bravo, México
With one of the loveliest colonial centers in central Mexico, the pueblo mágico of Valle de Bravo is an utter charmer and a wonderful spot for an escape from Mexico City. A long, winding and occasionally stunning mountain road runs the 85km west from Toluca, taking you to the shores of Lago Avandaro – this is an artificial lake, the result of the construction of a hydroelectric station. Valle de Bravo became a convenient sailing location for Mexico City residents as of the late 1950´s.
Club de Vela La Peña
The fellowship of Club de Vela La Peña began visiting lake Avandaro for sailing in the late 50´s. By 1968, that fellowship found its promised land on the foot of a peña (cliff) that rises in the middle of the lake and began the construction of the club house. Thus 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the club house, and what a better way to celebrate than with a spectacular sailing week.
