This onetime fishing village (pop. around 5,000) on the Costa Nayarit (the Pacific coast of Nayarit state), an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, today  is known as one of the best surfing destinations in the world as well as a favorite of backpackers looking for adventure on a budget. On top of that, Sayulita is known for good eating, vibrant nightlife, and "boho energy," and the offerings on its colorful streets are rounded out by a yoga scene and cool little boutiques. (Some would say, in fact,…

The modern community largely dates from the early 20th century, when Jews arrived from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Beyond Chichén Itzá & Tulúm: 10 Other Amazing Archaeological Sites on the Yucatan Peninsula

Paolo Lucciola Some of the world’s most famous ruins can be found in this expansive, steamy lowland peninsula covering the southern Mexican states of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo (as well as, many people don’t realise, northern Belize and the Guatemalan state of Petén, home to Tikal). The two best known, Chichén Itzá and Tulum, are celebrated for a reason.  But if you’re particularly fascinated, as I am, with the Mundo Maya, you’ll want to add several more days to your visit here, as…

Why Mexico City is one of ´5 of Latin America´s Top New Year´s Eve Destinations´

pexels My hometown offers a great mix of modern celebrations and cultural traditions, and on NYE the main celebration happens in downtown´s huge  Zócalo Square, which comes alive with concerts, fireworks, food stands, and of course the countdown to midnight. But there´s also plenty of stylish partying elsewhere, in fun neighborhoods like Condesa, Roma, and Polanco. And by the way, the big local tradition here is eating 12 grapes at midnight, (and take it from me, it´s harder than it sounds!).…

  • I read your blog Nancy. good and clear. But what if I buy a house and 40 years from now my son wants to sell it. Will he be at a disadvantage as a seller if people see a trust that expires in 10 yrs?

    Delete Comment I have been reading various comments about owning property in Mexico. We own in Cabo San Lucas,our second property.  We  bought the first in 1997, sold it in 2005 and purchased another home in 2007.  We have always gone through a realtor and a notary to make sure our paperwork is complete and we own the property.  The notary is actually more important than an attorney.  Here is a link to an article I published on my blog regarding owning property in Mexico.

  • John I read your article and its tempting. Do you think the Mexican Government will ever back off on its complicated rules for American owners.
