"I was very fortunate to attend the UTadventure tour in Mexico. The whole experience was awesome. The locations were beyond my expectations as were the talented models. I don't know of another tour that will get you into private exquisite haciendas to create stunning images. I never heard of a cenote till this trip. The space is magical - add in beautiful nude models and photography magic does happen.
Dasha and Dmitriy have the knowledge to make the experience truly memorable. I was sorry to say goodbye to my newfound photographer friends and models. Definitely an adventure I'll never forget."

WHEN IS IT?
The tour dates are March 13th - 18th 2023.
(Our participants usually arrive the night before the tour starts, and leave either in the evening of final day, or the morning after, depending on their preferred flights.)
WHERE ARE WE STAYING?
Our home away from home for the duration of the tour will be a sophisticated, rustic-chic, Mayan themed hacienda, owned and run by a European couple who are good friends of ours, .
This small boutique hotel is tucked away right in the middle of beautiful Izamal, one of the famous pueblos mágicos ( “magic towns” cultural preservation centers), and is super fun to explore on foot if you have the time around the actual tour dates.
A full bar, an outdoor pool and home cooked meals with a European / Mexican flare that we love to enjoy as a group make this little charming hotel a perfect base to unwind and re-charge in between our adventures and photoshoots!

WHO ARE THE MODELS FOR THIS TOUR?
We are so excited to have Lucy, an exotic fine art model all the way from New Zealand, making her debut on UTadventure in 2023!
When Lucy isn't modelling on tour, she is often found defying gravity by dangling from silks, swinging in an aerial hoop or some other form of physical expression.
She especially enjoys playing with dynamic art-nude shapes and is known for her graceful style of movement. |

“I am honored to finally be invited as a model for UTadventure in Mexico! I have had these tours floating around in my mind for years now.
Our fine-art modelling/photography world is quite a small, connected community after all, so when travelling around the states back in 2018, I met photographers and models who raved about their amazing experiences on UTadventure. I started to see more images coming out of those events too. Incredible shots of ruins, the rich and vibrant backdrops, the unique wildlife and perhaps the most exciting of all (to me, as a true water-baby) the crystal clear cenotes!
How much beauty, history, colour and life could be experienced on this trip?
I knew from that point that it would be a career and life goal of mine, to have the adventure of a life-time while making friends with like-minded artists from the other side of the world on the UTadventure tour. So this year, I decided to take a chance and get in touch for an interview, and I’m so glad I did.
I am so looking forward to meeting all the talented, creative individuals partaking in this trip and cannot wait to make magic together in the ancient and mystical land surrounding the Yucatan peninsula!”

Another beautiful muse that recently made a grand entrance on UTadventure tours is Alaina Wulf.
Alaina is a published traveling art and fashion model based in the Midwest, as well an artist, writer, enthusiast of classical literature, ancient cultures, archeology, and exploring the outdoors.
She has a ravenous appetite for knowledge, health, fitness, and expanding the boundaries of the psyche. Her interest in modeling was kindled when posing for groups of artists which slowly fanned a flame to fine art photography wherein she discovered her true passion.

"As a wee little girl, one of my favorite past-times was immersing myself in other cultures in faraway lands with glorious, rich histories to delve into. And now, my sights are set on Mexico!
I have heard wonderful tales of ornate haciendas; whispers of landscapes so lush that your eyes and soul will never want to depart from them; and the grandest of these- the ruins! The Mayan and Incan Indians were some of the most engrossing ancient civilizations that I could not be torn away from studying in depth.
The chance to model amidst such archeological treasures is a chance of a lifetime for young Alaina! I have had to pinch myself on numerous occasions in attempts to awaken from the ethereal, otherworldly reality of being invited to participate in the UTadventure Mexico tour!"

As an adventurous spirit, Meghan loves discovering new landscapes and exploring ways to harmoniously blend her form with nature.
She is most at home amongst the woods, waters and wide-open landscapes of the world.

“I am particularly excited for this upcoming Mexico tour!
I actually live in Mexico most of the year because I love being there so much! The Yucatán region in particular is so rich in culture, history, natural beauty, and filled with so many wonderful hidden gems - which we are so blessed to be able to experience and discover while on tour!
Another aspect of the Mexico tours that I really appreciate is how we all stay at a beautiful historic hacienda with lush tropical gardens where we create art, socialize, rest and eat delicious meals together when we aren’t all out exploring!”
~ Meghan Claire

"I would like to thank Dmitriy and Dasha for the experience of a lifetime, for me anyways. I never thought I would embark on an adventure like that in my entire life.
Even my friends and family did not believe that I was going to go. I was way out of my realm but I am glad that I finally did it. You put on an awesome adventure, and UTadventure team really has their act together."
