Sharing love, life and travel stories
I am a hard core fan of Mayan ruins (just take a deep look at my site). When I visited the Riviera Maya, Chichen Itza and Tulum were two of the must see spots. Chichen Itza was just as I imagined it and much more (take a look at my posts here and here). But [...]
You guys know how Cancun totally deceived me. Beaches controlled by all-inclusive hotels (when all beaches are supposed to be public). Hotel paid guards making sure you don’t step over the sand (or swim) in front of a property. Locals segregated in small strands of sand. Tons of malls full of global brands. A [...]
This is a post I didn’t want to write. I mean who wants to write about the bad (or shameful) aspects of travel. Just when you think you are a travel pro, things like this happen. I was scammed in Playa del Carmen. Ok, it was hard to admit that. *************** If you visit the [...]
Ensenada. Ensenada. You guys know I love to visit this port located in the Baja Peninsula. I am aware of the bad reputation it has. I am sure some people are scared to stop by. I even wrote a post about how this is a place not many want to visit. I understand all the [...]
I come from a place were almost every kid dreams about visiting a theme park in Florida. I don’t know when the Puerto Rican fascination with Disney World, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens started. What I do know is that these parks ignite a fire in the imagination of most of the island’s young population [...]
Not long time ago, I posted a photo essay about the doors and windows of Valladolid, Mexico. Take a look at that post here. Well, that was not meant to be my only post about this charming colonial town located in the Yucatan state. An increasing photography aficionado like me uses every opportunity to practice [...]
After spending two days in Valladolid (in the Yucatan state), I didn’t fill like I got a good grasp of Yucatecan food. I was determined to continue sampling regional dishes in the Riviera Maya area (in the Quintana Roo state). To my dismay (and this statement is based on my experience), it was hard to [...]
Here is the second part of the private tour I promise to give you around Chichen Itza. Don’t forget to take a look at the first part of the tour. A Little Background (Again!!) Chichen Itza means “at the mouth of the well of the Itza”. Historically, the Itza were an important Mesoamerican people who [...]
Quick. When you think of Chichen Itza, what comes to your mind? Maybe Mayan ruins. Maybe Mexico. Maybe the Yucatan Peninsula. Well, a lot of different thoughts can come to your mind. But, I am almost sure that when you thought about these famous ruins, an image from its most famous structure, El Castillo, came [...]
This week I want to introduce a new feature in my website. I am happy to announce that each week I am going to feature a new discovery. By discovery, I mean a place, a custom or dish that is not widely known. See, I love to read travel magazines, websites and books. Very often, [...]
