One morning in Mazatlán I woke up early to surf. A local video crew working with the tourism effort for Mazatlán acquired a few surf boards and wanted shoot some footage of a few of us on the waves. We decided to paddle out at Playa Camarones (Shrimp Beach). Apparently, there isn’t much they don’t […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 5, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Photo, Postcards
The ATMEX (Adventure Tourism Mexico) conference held in September officially opened in Catemaco, Veracruz.

Sunset Sunday-The View of the River in San Blas, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on March 3, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
When I first arrived in San Blas, Nayarit on my road trip from Mazatlan the sun was setting. Luckily, I just pulled into town before dark. At the time, I still had no reservations for a hotel, but before I started inquiring about rooms I stopped along the river and took a sunset image. As […]
Ah Chihuahua-Walking Across the Copper Canyon
by Craig Zabransky on March 1, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Photo
A new adventure park in Chihuahua, the Copper Canyon Adventure Park, set up high speed zip-lines and suspension bridges to allow thrill seekers to cross the Copper Canyon. Sure, for some, the beauty of this Mexican treasure is best appreciated from the train through the Copper Canyon region or perhaps with a cocktail during sunset […]
A Beach with History, the Petroglyphs of Las Labradas
by Craig Zabransky on February 21, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel
Las Labradas translates to “the carvings.” And the beach just north of Mazatlan is filled with carvings on its coastal rocks. Travelers don’t come here to swim or soak in the sun, but rather to take a look at the numerous and mysterious petroglyphs. Known to locals for hundreds of years, the engraved rocks have […]

Next week I’ll be starting another holiday Mazatlan. It will be a special holiday too. I am heading to Mazatlan for Carnival.

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on January 31, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel
South of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, Yelapa can be a little off the main tourist trail. Yet, the beach town popular as a boating excursion, does fill up midday with visitors. Most spend time at the beachfront talapas enjoying an afternoon lunch and some refreshing cocktails or cervezas. I know I joined them.

We just witnessed the most magical part of the Copper Canyon Train ride and gained even more appreciation for the modern marvel. Next up was our long journey to San Isidro Lodge and hopefully a sunset. […]
