by Craig Zabransky on March 18, 2013 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Photo
I returned to Veracruz to attend the ATMEX conference last fall. This trip, my second time in the gulf coast city, allowed for a little more exploration and the capture of these five photos.

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.
