    El Faro Mazatlan – Hike to the World’s Highest Natural Lighthouse

    June 15, 2020 /

    On a recent vacation to Mazatlan, Mexico, my boyfriend, Garrett and I were looking for fun things to do. As a nature lover and an avid hiker, I couldn’t resist when our cab driver brought up the El Faro Mazatlan hike. Our cab driver explained that you could see “all of Mazatlan from the top and the view is spectacular.” It sounded so appealing that we decided to plan a day to experience the hike to El Faro Lighthouse.

    El Meco – How to Feel Like Indiana Jones in the Middle of a Major City

    March 6, 2020 /

    As I walked through the ruins of El Meco, I couldn’t help feeling a little bit like Indiana Jones. It wasn’t like I was being chased by bad guys or that I had discovered a priceless jewel inside a secret cavern. It was more the feeling that I was an archaeologist who had discovered an incredible archaeological site hidden deep in the jungle. The irony of it was that even though it felt like I was a world away from modern civilization, the ruins of El Meco lie right inside the city of Cancun – about 8 km (5 miles) north of downtown.

    D.I.Y. Isla Mujeres Tour

    November 8, 2019 /

    It’s easy to arrange your own Isla Mujeres tour, but be warned. If you’re going to rent a vehicle, it probably won’t have windows or doors. Most visitors to the tiny Mexican island travel via golf cart. Even if you do manage to rent a regular vehicle, you won’t be able to drive it very fast – thanks to all the speed bumps on the roads. All this aside, a do-it yourself Isla Mujeres tour is a great day trip from Cancun or Riviera Maya and something we have done on several occasions while visiting the area. Here are some tips to help you do it right. There are affiliate…

    One of the best things about visiting the Riviera Maya region of Mexico is all the amazing places you can explore nearby.

Going on your own can save you money and give you flexibility to stay as long as you want. Here are 5 great Riviera Maya excursions you can enjoy on your own. There are affiliate links in this post.

    What You Need to Know About Dia de los Muertos The Day of the Dead Festival is celebrated right after Halloween, but even though it includes playful costumes and decorations, it is not a Hispanic version of Halloween. Dia de los Muertos takes place over two days (Nov 1 and 2) as a colorful way for families to come together and celebrate the memory of deceased loved ones. On November 1, families honor deceased children and infants with Dia de los Inocentes and those of the Catholic faith also honor Catholic Saints on All Saints’ Day. November 2 is for celebrating older deceased relatives and is also All Souls’ Day, a day…

    Yelapa Beach – Where no Roads Go

    October 29, 2018 /

    It’s 9 am on a Sunday morning and as I make my way along the uneven cement sidewalks and little backstreets of the Mexican village of Yelapa, there isn’t a soul in sight. The only sign of life comes when I pass a small convenience store, which is just opening its doors for the day. Even the beautiful golden sand of Yelapa Beach is completely deserted. Surrounded by mountains, there are no roads into Yelapa and the only way to reach the village is by boat from nearby Puerto Vallarta and the first boats haven’t yet arrived.
