  From Cancun to Cozumel

  Posted on July 17, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, Chichen Itza, Cozumel, Featured, Mexico

  Possibly my new favorite city in Mexico, Cancun is definitely a place I would like to frequent.  The beaches were true “white sand beaches” and not nearly as crowded as I had expected.  The waters…  if I didn’t know any better, I’d say someone photo shopped an image right on my sunglasses, creating multiple layers of perfect turquoise paired with pristine blue skies.  Really, this entire trip was full of scenic surprises…

• Itza chichen in chichen itza -…

  Posted on June 13, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Chichen Itza, Mexico

  Itza Chichen in Chichen Itza – or maybe Itza Chicken…. driving 2.5 hours from Cancun to Chichen Itza to see Mayaland http://twitpic.com/1wj5i9 was a great idea!

  As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to see the pyramids at Chichen Itza.  When I moved to Mexico, I remember being disappointed that the Yucatan was so far away.  A day is possibly enough time to see the entire park, but I would say it is well worth it to book a room, or private villa at Mayaland hotel.   A guide can be hired for a private tour of the ruins at the front desk.  $60 an hour, and the tour runs around 2.5 to 3 hours.

• Cancun Weather…

  Posted on June 11, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Cancun, Caribbean, Mexico

  The weather in Cancun was not exactly what I was expecting.   It seems hot one day, and cooler the next.  The humidity is inescapable but the breeze… makes it all worth it.  Nearly every morning is beautiful, with sunny skies and just enough clouds to make photos more interesting.  It’s June, so rain showers have been pretty frequent, but not strong enough to send you running.  I happen to not mind the rain, so I stay in the pool while it sprinkles and I don’t run from a tour of the ruins to keep my hair from getting wet….

  Tequila Six Pack Tour from Puerto Vallarta

  Posted on December 30, 2007 by Traveler in Puerto Vallarta in Art & Culture, Day Trips & Excursions, Ecotourism, Featured, History & Culture, Sightseeing & Attractions, Tours & Activities, Towns & Villages, Travel Guide, Vallarta Adventures

  
  One cannot fully appreciate Mexico without some understanding of tequila’s place in its history and culture – see the complete Tequila growing and making process, have lunch at a real Mexican Hacienda and visit a real family tequila distillery!

  The popular, yet still “off-the-beaten-path,” Tequila Tour will take you north of Puerto Vallarta, passing through majestic mountains and scenic volcanoes. Rincon de Guayabitos is the tour’s first stop where tour guests indulge in a traditional Mexican breakfast. After breakfast, the tour continues to the colonial and picturesque Compostela, a colonial city in the Cactlan Valley, and then the lava fields of the Black Giant, or El Ceboruco Volcano. The Black Giant is an amazing sight- one of only nine active volcanoes in all of Mexico.
