We've found this huge, diverse land to be an inexhaustible source not only of beachy vacation fun but urban sophistication; folkloric fabulousness; spellbinding historic and archaeological sites; culinary wonders; and mucho, mucho más...

Esconced on the lower Pacific ¨Emerald Coast¨ in the state of Oaxaca, the town of Puerto Escondido (which means ¨hidden port¨) was up until the 1960s barely a pinprick on the map, with dirt streets and just a handful of residents mostly devoted to fishing. Then in 1960 a coastal road reached the village, making it accessible to the outside world, and a village hall was built. Most consequentially for tourism, it was during that decade that surfers (pioneered by a group of Venezuelans,…

And one of the Riviera Maya's top activities is diving and snorkeling amid the corals that lie offshore, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef - the world's second largest after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. For snorkeling you don't need any prior training or experience, and here's a trio of the top…
Read more…Located at the northeast coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, this L-shape resort island, alongside a city home to hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, many of whom work in the tourism industry, was essentially created by the Mexican government in 1974. Its core appeal has always been its beaches and nightlfe (along with the chance to take day trips to incredible Mayan archaeological sites; there's even a tiny one right here, called Ruinas del Rey).

Mr. Lamkin, I am catching up on things today after a very busy Christmas holiday. I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
Today the Philadelphia area is cold and covered with snow, but your 360-degree panorama warmed me up! Thank you for sharing this.
This is our 2nd generation family business in a typical Mexican neighborhood (although there is an art school from Florence, Italy across the street!) but Cuernavaca is a city, not a small town, and a famous resort where Mexicans from Mexico City have their weekend homes, so there are state-of the art services, attractions, and cultural events happening all the time as any vibrant and interesting city might offer, but the cost of living here is not the same as small towns across Mexico. You might want to check out the State Tourism site at www.morelostravel.com to see what our state has to offer.
You might want to try the City of Eternal Spring which is in the historical highlands of central Mexico about 1 hr. from Mexico City. I have lived here for 25 yrs, coming from California and the weather is unbelievable-around 70-75° yearlong. We have a large expat community that is very active in volunteer work, music, art, theater, cooking, and the foreign community has a diverse cultural background, (not just Americans) of French, Swiss, Canadians, Dutch, Japanese, Israelis, Chinese, Italians,-well, you get the picture. Cuernavaca, Morelos has a history dating back 4,000 years and is the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution and Emiliano Zapata. The UN World Heritage Site, Xochicalco, is one of the fascinating places to visit, as too the Colonial Historic Center with it´s famous Cortez Palace now the Cuahnauhac Museum, Borda Gardens of Austrian Emperor Maxmillian and Carlota and numerous 16th Century Haciendas, Cathedrals, and Monasteries. Since every day is sunny, golf addicts abound as too sport enthusiasts of all kinds. Check out our authentic Meican affordable homes of Las Villas on http://www.cuernavaca-villas.com
We are looking for place to spend Jan.-Feb. Expat community or typically local environment. Ideally, a property we can take care of in exchange for reduced rent, but all offers welcome.
