I didn’t realize I traveled to the State of Morelos when I visited Cuernavaca, but when I left Mexico City for the city known to have an eternal spring I did just that. Cuernavaca is often an escape for the people who call Mexico City home because of the stable climate and abundant flora. Even […]

The Big Rock in Bernal, Querétaro State, Mexico
Depending on who you ask, 1,115 foot (350 meter) Peña de Bernal is the second largest monolith in the world after Mt. Augustus in Western Australia and the fourth tallest (or third tallest, again, depending on who you ask) monolith in the world after Mt. Augustus, the Rock of Gibraltar and Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio.

The Tranquillo Rural Heart of Baja California, Mexico
Though Baja California boasts urban centers Tijuana and Ensenada as up-and-coming culinary capitals, ranches, farms, vineyards and open spaces define most of the state’s actual landscape. I was in Ojos Negros recently touring a dairy farm and cheese cellar when I came upon these birds having a siesta, Baja style. Best Mexico Travel Tip There […]

Sinaloa, Setting Sail with el Pacifico in Mazatlan
When I first transitioned to a travel writer, Mazatlan, the seaside city on the Pacific coast invited me to experience the Mexican travel destination. Since my first visit in 2009, I’ve returned eight times and now have numerous memories of the sun, surf, seafood, cliff diving, amazing sunsets on the malecon and sunsets in the […]
Campeche, a Peaceful Sea of Green
When I think about Campeche, two images come to my mind. The first one is a warm night at the Capital city’s main square with locals playing lottery around the kiosk like in an old and small town. Soft lights on, children playing around, a sense of peace and harmony. The second one is the amazing […]
The Pink Flamingo Stands in the Ria Celestun, Yucatan, Mexico
Just before you arrive to Celestun, Yucatan there is a turn off for the Ria Celestun, a protected nature reserve. Inside the park visitors can rent a boat (includes the boat captain) for 1,200 pesos.
