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 […]

Sinaloa, Setting Sail with el Pacifico in Mazatlan
by Craig Zabransky on March 7, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel
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
by stayadventurous on March 6, 2015 in Destination, Guest Post, Mexico Travel
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 […]

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 […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 2, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Photo
When I arrived to Pescadero, BCS (Baja California Sur) I discovered the essence of Baja California. I found my Baja. Walking up to the lobby at Ranchero Pescadero I took this image. I wanted to go for a drive across Mexico and take a long endless desert road and also take to the Pacific Ocean […]

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 […]
