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.

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!).…

  • Hi John! I'd say 'yes' but you might want to ask John Youden: http://vallartarealestate.wordpress.com/
    He is very much aware of the high-end real estate industry here and also happens to own Mexico Boutique Hotels. I'm sure he'd be a helpful resource.
  • i will DEF let you know Mark- and I loved your piece in TACA's mag!
  • Hola Sylvie, How does the luxury real estate scene look in Vallarta. Worth a trip there for an article? Saludos, John
  • Hey Cessie,
    Sounds like a great trip -- I wish I could join, as I just did the Cancun feature for TACA's Explore and would love to pitch more ideas to more of my outlets. But I'm already booked with trips through April. If you have any other trips for later on, please let me know!
  • Hi Cessie, I might be interested for inclusion with our current edition of Mexico Traveler Magazine.
  • @Emma Krasov: how did your Vallarta visit go? If you haven't been yet, I'd love to give you my two cents about it. I've lived here for over 13 years. Southside IS great but North has developed alot and there are a few very nice places that should be recommended to readers if possible. Saludos!
  • Hola Cessie, Please tell me more about the press trip. Are you sponsoring or taking trip? Saludos, John
  • I have a FABULOUS press trip to Cancun Feb 27-March 6! Its VERY flexible & has fantastic fashion, culinary & adventure angles.I'm looking for fashion, food & adventure media outlets. Help me spread the word! ♥
