Nifty (and Gnarly) Puerto Escondido

  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,…

3 great underwater tours on the Riviera Maya

The vacation-oriented coast south of Cancún on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula is famed for its resorts as well as their various shopping, dining, nightlife, and a broad menu of daytime activities.

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.

  • 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.
