Touring isn’t just about the views and visiting landmarks and historical places. It’s also about doing activities that is best done here than anywhere else. A couple of things that I suggest you do are below.

Water Taxi Rides in Cabo
These water taxi rides can be so much fun and can take you from the marina down to Medana beach and even to a place called Lover’s Beach, which is on the very tip of the Cabo Peninsula. These water taxi boats have glass bottoms that help passengers see the fish that are swimming underfoot, a wonderful sight for children and adults to see.

Jungle Excursions in Puerto Vallarta
You should try and visit Yelapa, which can be reached by foot, by boat, or by mountain biking. This beach village is home to a jungle, a waterfall, and rivers that give you the jungle lifestyle that is uniquely Puerto Vallarta. Also, part of the Puerto Vallarta jungle experience is the canopy tour that gets you to see the flora and the fauna of the region in what may be your most exciting jungle adventure yet. You will be zipped above the treetops to see these wonders and more.

If you don’t enjoy this, I don’t know what else would please you. These things can be done here and here alone.

If you are traveling to mexico with your kids, no need to worry because Mexico welcomes kids with open arms. Attractions, restaurant, and coffee shops are gladly to accenpt children and make them and you feel welcome.

Diners and restaurants in mexico have menus for children on the table. If there is none, you can always ask for a children’s menu and they will definitely give you one. There are also many food chains and diners where they offer children’s play area.

Traveling to Mexico with your family is actually very safe. Your children will surely enjoy the place.

If you are traveling to mexico for a luxurious beach vacation, be careful with your digital camera. The beach sand gets on the zoom lens when it closes the sand can jam the zoom lens making your camera inoperable. In order to avoid this, make sure the zoom lens is free from any debris before you close it.

Make sure to bring enough batteries for your camera and memory cards before you go to mexico. If you forgot to buy these, you can always purchase them at Yucatan Peninsula, Mayan Riviera, and Cancun. Although they are much more cheaper to buy them at a discount store back home.

These are just some of the reminders that you may consider when you prepare your digital camera before going to Mexico. Have a wonderful time!

Road through Sierra Juarez (CC photo by phylevn courtesy of Flickr)

Sierra Juarez is quickly becoming a favorite for Oaxacan locals and visitors as well. This stunning mountain range, also know as Sierra Norte, is located about an hour’s drive Northeast of Oaxaca and offers superb settings for hiking, biking, birdwatching and photography.

Wild life in Sierra Juarez is high in ratio to the surrounding area and is considered one of the richest places to encounter an amazing collection of species including endangered animals like jaguars and spider monkeys. While the likelihood of encountering larger mammals is relatively low, you probably will enjoy the brilliant colors of butterflies in the area in addition to several smaller mammals, reptiles, insects and birds.  The startling colors and sizes of butterflies in the area make it a hot spot for collectors whose collected specimens from Sierra Juarez are worth upwards of $1000 for one butterfly.

The weather in Sierra Juarez intrigues visitors who, in amazement, move from dry warm desert-like air to moist cold mountains in the short span of an hour. Tourism in Sierra Juarez has only recently, in the last decade, become very popular. Eco tourism is one of the main reasons for the interest in the flora and fauna of this amazing area. Since it’s relatively new to well traveled tours, it is best to make plans in person rather than online. It will also do you well to have an open mind and relatively loose schedule. Like many wilderness adventures in mexico, traveling through Sierra Juarez should be enjoyed leisurely to take in the beauty.

The Huasteca Potosina is a region of the Sierra Madre that is named after the indigenous Huasteca culture and is found east of the capital of San Luis Potosi. The gorgeous area offers an amazing collection of both rapid, wild waters, as well as, calm a serene lagoons. Both ends of the spectrum are equaling facilitating with the stunning backdrop of rich jungle vegetation surrounding you.

The Cascada el Meco is just one of the many waterfalls you will find through out the area. Smaller waterfalls, like the one above offer a more subdued experience. The falls, like many, lie at the mercy of rains and the Cascada el Salto, above, has dwindled to one of the smallest streams ever.

The colors of clear blue water are absolutely breathtaking and many enjoy snorkeling around the waterfalls and lagoons. The surrounding forests are home to  over 2,000 species of plants including orchids and lianas. The area is also home to the endangered Spider monkey, Jaguar and Kinkajou (also known as the Honey Bear). For these creatures, it is hoped that visitors will enjoy the grandeur in the most respectful ways possible.

There is a bounty of recreation available in Huasteca Potosina. Rafting, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, hiking and camping are just a handful of fun the region holds. The area is a true treasure and photographs of the area are some of the most stunning you will take in mexico. Huasteca Potosina is a must visit during your stay in Sal Luis Potosi.

Cliffs of Piedra Volada (photo by Izennen courtesy of Flickr)

Piedra Volada translates to “flying rock”. The reason for the name is not really know, although some creative ideas have floated around.  What is known, however, is that the area is absolutely breath taking with stunning landscape and beautiful weather.

During the wet season, the gorgeous area offers a bonus with one of the world’s largest waterfalls. The falls can only be seen from a moderate distance, but are the largest in mexico and the eleventh largest in the world. When they run, it is off Candamena Canyon in the Copper Canyon area of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The great thing about Volada is that it has landscape to  meet all hiking levels. There are trails for beginners, as well as, more advanced treks for more expereinced visitors. The area offers a supurb collection of flora and fauna with enough plain space to make camp if an overnight suits your visit.

The area around Piedra Volanda is strickingly beautiful and travel-friendly. The falls were only recently discovered in 1996 although there are ruins of mining camps and other proof of man enjoying this spectacular area. There are several tours that venture into the area or many choose to make their own way, however, it is usually better to travel with locals who know the area. Piedra Volada is definately worth a camp out in order to fully appreciate the beauty of its night skies and early morning daybreaks.
