Forget the blender drinks (okay, maybe just a few). I’m trading frozen margaritas for freshly brewed Lagers because this adults-only paradise has something no other resort in Mexico has: a full-blown brewery steps from the Caribbean Sea.  Of course, there will be plenty of delicious frozen margaritas, too (it’s Margaritaville, after all!). But the point …

If you thought Cancun was the place to be, think again! Between Uber conflicts and visitor tax confusion, entering and leaving America’s most sought-after destination can actually be a headache. Who are we kidding, though? There’s no way Cancun will slow down any time soon. However, there’s another postcard-worthy turquoise paradise being hyped as the …

As Mazatlan has become Mexico’s fastest growing destination, “Sinaloa” hasn’t become a trigger word to deter travelers, so why should “Colima”? Both Sinaloa and Colima have found themselves on the wrong end of headlines and the U.S. State Department has issued Level 4: Do Not Travel warnings. However, there’s always an exception to the rule, …

Are you planning on going to Mexico for a sunny getaway this winter, but you can’t seem to shake those persistent safety concerns? You should know our Southerly neighbor is a relatively safe tourist destination overall, but even in places like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, certain precautions must be taken: Sticking to the well-delineated tourist …

Following the launch of the Maya Train last year, Mexico looks set to host yet another major railway project, with construction set to start as soon as early 2025: As local media reports, it’s a new tourist town from Mexico City to Queretaro, one of the best-preserved––and most beautiful, at that––historic cities in the country …

We all know Mexico for its pristine white sand beaches and luxurious resorts lining turquoise seas, and let’s face it, if you’re after some pampering, there’s nowhere better to get it than Cancun, Tulum, and the like. But what about authenticity? As great as Cancun may be, it’s not exactly a reflection of Mexico as …

If you’re heading south of the border this winter, but Cancun, Cabo and Puerto Vallarta don’t exactly fit your current budget––we get it, $600-a-night for a resort stay is a bit much––have you ever considered a lesser-known, arguably more authentic Mazatlan? Lining the Pacific Coast, it combines the Old World charm of the colonial era …

Cancun may have the all-inclusive hotels, Puerto Vallarta the golden sand beaches, and there’s truly no beating Cabo’s wellness tourism scene, but this season, it’s Veracruz that’s stealing the limelight in Mexico as one of the country’s fastest-growing destinations. Located on the Gulf Coast, it was formerly one of the most popular beach getaways in …

Not Cancun and its jam-packed resort zone, Puerto Vallarta and its club-lined beachfront, much less Cabo with its ultra-luxurious hotels and wellness centers: the fastest-growing destination in Mexico is a sunny, up-and-coming Mazatlan! Straddling the Pacific shoreline of the Mexican state of Sinaloa, this mid-size city just over 441,000 people call home is expected to …

One of the aspects of travel that saddens me personally is how often Mexico is wrongly portrayed. Mainstream news grips any negative event with a tight fist to paint a misinformed picture of one of the world’s most fascinating countries. But the truth is that most of Mexico is safe; otherwise, millions of tourists wouldn’t …

If you’re craving some sunshine this winter, then there’s still time to plan your next trip. And as one of the West Coast’s most popular airlines, Alaska Airlines is here to make that a little easier and give you new destinations to explore.   They’ve launched the first nonstop flight from LA to La Paz, a …

The United Nations (UN) wears many hats, oftentimes on the darker side of the spectrum in places not deemed fit for tourists. Take Haiti, for example. If you’ve been able to decipher real news through the election cycle’s talking heads, then surely you’re aware of Haiti’s continuous tragic downfall. Founded in 1945, the UN’s purpose …
