I visit the Florida Keys often and when I tell people they often respond with, “Oh, Key West.” No, not exactly. The Florida Keys are more than Key West. Much more. The change in attitude begins at the latitude in the Upper Keys begin. Travel plans to the Florida Keys often center around Key West. But […]

Mazatlan Tours – ATV or Canopy Tour at Huana Coa?
I love to zip-line. And when asked, I thought I’d always select a canopy adventure (zip-line) over ATV. Then one afternoon, at Huana Coa, an adventure tour operator, outside of Mazatlan Mexico, I surprised myself. Huana Coa Canopy Adventure Huana Coa, an adventure outfit located in the Sierra Madre mountains is forty-five minutes from the […]
Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca
On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

A Lesson Learned on the Pacaya Volcano Hike in Guatemala

The Alebrijes of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca
We exited the bus and entered the streets in the midst of a parade, but unlike other parades this celebration was staged. Music, headdress, and confetti created a warm, festive scene. No doubt, local residents considered us their guests of honor. Such fanfare might not exist for everyone who enters San Martin Tilcajete, but after an […]
Lake Atitlan – A Kayak of Cultural Discovery in Guatemala
A visit to Guatemala is not complete without a visit to Lake Atitlan. The massive lake provides options for different tourist types, but regardless of where you spend your time, the water invites and you will spend time on the lake (or even in it). One of my favorite ways to explore is in a […]
The Mayan Magic of Mexico and Me
Recently I was asked the very difficult question, “What was your most memorable trip?” Too difficult to select just one, my answer is often, “well, it depends,” and then I rattle of a few destinations. But even with a long list of adventures worthy of a video, I needed to give Wanderfly one destination and one […]
