When driving through Mexico City (as a passenger of course), I couldn’t tell where the official federal district ended and the official state of Mexico began. But I do know I visited friends who lived in the state of Mexico (not the city) and enjoyed viewing a Sunday soccer (football) match in their home. It […]

Sunset Sunday, The Isla Mujeres Sunset in Quintana Roo, Mexico
by stayadventurous on March 8, 2015 in Guest Post, Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Isla Mujeres or Island of Women, is one of Mexico´s Caribbean islands and it’s just 8.1 miles away from Cancun. The name given in the 16th century references the countless statues of the Mayan Goddess Ix-Chel that were found by the Spanish expeditioners. Despite being so close to Cancun, “Isla” basically remains a quaint fishing […]
An Angel Inside the Museum of the Dead in Aquascalientes, Mexico
by stayadventurous on March 5, 2015 in Destination, Guest Post, Mexico Travel
Aguascalientes is not on the short list for lots of travelers as places to visit in Mexico. These days it’s more of a transport hub and industrial base than a tourist city. There’s one major reason to visit though: the Museum of the Dead (Museo de los Muertos). No, it’s not about narco battles or […]

The Sunset View of Popocatépetl in Puebla, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on March 1, 2015 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
My first full day in Puebla I attended the 2nd annual FMGM (Foro Mundial Gastronomia Mexicana), a conference aimed to preserve Mexico’s Culinary Traditions. When the day was coming to a close and I decided to head outside during the golden hour. I thought I’d watch the sunset from outside the halls of the presentations […]
Exploring the Mayan Ruins of Riviera Maya with a Car is Easy and Safe
by Craig Zabransky on February 23, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel
A trip to the Riviera Maya is not complete without a visit to Mayan Ruins. There are plenty to choose from, but for first timers, a visit to one of the “Big Three” Chichen Itza, Tulum or Coba is a great way to start your exploration. Although tours can take you to each of these […]
