Outside the Mexican magic town of Creel in Chihuahua visitors can walk among giant rock formations. One special place known as the Valley of the Monks or Bisabirachi, is a must visit. There is little resemblance to monks in the formations, but the name was changed since the original name given by the Tarahumara Indians might […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 11, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Photo, Postcards
Walking on the streets of Oaxaca City is a must. And like any Mexican destination, visitors will find surprises. Good surprises. Surprises that force a smile, surprises that create curiosity, and surprises that display the colorful culture of Mexico. One afternoon in Oaxaca I witnessed one such surprise. During my stroll of the streets of […]

                    Finding the Way Back to Ohtli at the CasaMagna Marriott
by Craig Zabransky on March 27, 2012 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Reflection
I wanted to return. I can tell you the house made tequila was the main reason, but to be honest, my return trip was for another experience – the spa. Ohtli, the name of the spa, means “the path” in the native Nahuatl language. Apparently I desired a return to the path. I am no […]
 
 
    
                    100th Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Dinner at Le Kliff
by Craig Zabransky on March 25, 2012 in Events, Sunset Sunday
Puerto Vallarta seems to provide a spectacular sunset every night. Nearly every evening on my travels I’d find myself watching the magic from a beach, my hotel balcony, or sipping a cocktail somewhere. I’d also often be ready to capture and share the moment on the Sunset Sunday series. I’ve shared many. Le Kliff also […]
 
 
    
                    Photo Essay: The Town of Yelapa, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on March 20, 2012 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Photo
It was a three hour excursion and probably just enough time to explore the town. So I grabbed my camera and my hat, headed to the beach and boarded the boat. From the sands of the Las Majahuitas Resort, a place with a wonderful sunset, we pushed off to sea. Next stop Yelapa. The ride […]
 
 
    
                    Adventurous Life – The Artist Way to Todo Santos, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on March 8, 2012 in Adventurous Life, Mexico Travel
Besides surfing, I knew two things about the Mexican Baja beach town of Todo Santos before I arrived; Hotel California and Artist Galleries. I researched the origin of the words in the Eagles classic and checked out Hotel California on my visit, but I also explored deeper in to Artist world. In fact, each time […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 4, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Stay Luxurious, Sunset Sunday
My flight landed just after 1pm in Puerto Vallarta and I decided to rent a jeep from Avis to drive the coastal road north to Riviera Nayarit. Just before 3pm I arrived at my first destination – The Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita. On the nine-night adventure I started with my first on the right […]
