Teotihuacan – Where The Gods Were Created

February 20, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar2 Comments

Chances are, you have seen images of Chichen Itza or Palenque, the stunning archeological remains of grand Mayan cities in Mexico. Perhaps you’ve even visited these sites at some point. Considerably less well-known, though, is Teotihuacan, or “the place where the gods were created.” In my mind, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Teotihuacan is western hemisphere’s ultimate pyramid city, vastly more impressive than even its more famous brethren on … [Read more...]

Get off the resort! Rivera Maya Mexico

September 3, 2015 by Kala LinckLeave a Comment

Drug lords, bacteria-filled water, pick-pocketers. Mexico sounds like a scary place. All-inclusive, sandy beaches, endless buffets. Mexico sounds dreamy. But how much do you actually know about Mexico? I knew that when a group of friends booked an all-inclusive resort in Rivera Maya, I wanted to get off of that resort. I wanted to see the real Mexico. Were my friends up for it? I didn’t know, but that wasn’t going to stop me. The next … [Read more...]

Three Fabulous Colonial Cities in Mexico

Amazing archeological sites, lush nature, beautiful beaches, deserts, interesting indigenous communities, delicious food and gorgeous … [Read more...]

Journey To Merida Mexico

July 10, 2014 by Mandy BergerLeave a Comment

Merida Mexico

Three key ingredients make up charming places - People, pride and respect. In my travels to Merida Mexico I found the perfect blend of all three. The Yucatan culture takes pride in their families, ancestors, and their rich history. Truly living for each day, they respect who they are, who they are with, and what they are doing. With respect for oneself, there is a respect for other people. Providing a place of safety, security and … [Read more...]
