Tessoro Owner’s, CEDO & NaturArte Celebrate Community Seafood Market

Event Supports the Indigenous Cooperatives of Las Conchas’

The Las Conchas Peninsula was alive with the sights and smells of fresh-cooked fish, ceviche and oysters on Saturday, April 10. In a show of support for Las Conchas’ first residents and the sustainability efforts of CEDO, Tessoro and its owners invited the NaturArte Cooperatives to hold a special seafood market at the resort. All proceeds went to support the cooperatives and their families.

The NaturArte Cooperatives have fished, farmed and cultivated mariscos on the Morua Estuary since long before the American and Canadian tourists arrived. They were Las Conchas’ original residents and pioneers. In the years since, Puerto Peñasco and the Las Conchas neighborhood have grown quickly. CEDO has organized the 3 primary cooperatives into the NaturArte Ecotourism Corridor. This allows these indigenous residents to participate in the benefits of tourism and maintain their lifestyles.

Spring in Las Conchas

By Scott Spackeen

As the weather glides from slightly chilly to pleasantly warm, there is nothing better than spending time on the Sea of Cortez in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora (Rocky Point). I can say this with confidence, conviction, and honesty as my wife and I have owned a home in the Las Conchas neighborhood in Rocky point since 1996.

We have travelled extensively on numerous trips in the Baja and other parts of Mexico. We love all of Mexico, but always return to Puerto Peñasco knowing that we indeed are invested in the very best spot in this beautiful country. It offers easy driving access near the U.S. border and a very safe, hard working, and friendly town. Read more

Interview with Lanae Johnson

From JOIN US, December Edition 2009
Lanae was raised in Tucson and grew up visiting Las Conchas with her family. She is now a happy mother of three and is moving into a Diamond Residence at Tessoro with her husband, Darry.

Q: So when did you first visit Rocky Point?

Over thirty years ago, our family started taking vacations to the beach at Las Conchas. We rented different beach houses and always enjoyed spending time at the estuary. The beautiful wide-open spaces offered something for everyone in our family. We enjoyed body surfing, walking the beach, collecting shells, fishing, exploring the coral reefs, building sand castles, frisbee, picnics, bonfires, and cruising the sand dunes. Read more

Tessoro Owners Taking Final Tours Before Delivery this Summer

I recently had the pleasure of taking one of Tessoro’s owners, John W., up to his condo on the 7th floor. We also toured the grounds and ascended to the top floor where the roof gardens will be. The Morua Esturay was full and the Sea of Cortez had that Caribbean blue color. As we viewed the panorama of Puerto Peñasco from above, we reminded ourselves of why we are here in Mexico. Read more
