A small village near Oaxaca. It's famous for it's Mayan mosaics, but in my opinion local church is more interesting.
Don't miss tasting mezcal when in Mitla! Leave a Comment

An experience that almost all of the thousands of Cancun tourists miss is a visit to the actual city. Most visitors do not venture out of the Hotel Zone of the island. However, there is a large, bustling city on the mainland located northwest of the Hotel Zone. The people are very nice and you can get away from the exhorbitant restaurant prices on the island. I've had some great meals at quaint sidewalk cafes where the restaurant owner genuinely seems happy to serve you. It is quite a sight to sit and enjoy some true Mexican food and watch all of the local families wandering through the downtown and simply enjoying being out together. Be smart and don't flash a lot of cash - just like you wouldn't do in an American city. But don't be too apprehensive. After we got used to being the only Americans around and realized how nice the people are, we felt safer than we would in the downtown area of a similar sized American city. Keep in mind that this is more of a 'Mexican environment' (catering to locals rather than trying to attract tourists) and if you aren't interested in that then you would be better off spending all of your time in the Hotel Zone.

We just discovered at the intersection of Hidalgo and Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas TEL: 01 (87) 12-10-67 a store called Cafe de Exportacion which features Bola de Oro. The store is hard to find and almost unmarked. No free samples here.

Tampico, Tamaulipas: In the colonia (subdivision) 'las Flores' there is a pyramid. This is a real surprise, as it is in residential area and there is little or no publicity.
|
traveled to Puerta Viarta which is a beautiful city and probably less commercial than others.

Taxco
Taxco is an old silver mining town and THE place to go if you want to buy any silver.
Situated on the side of a hill the delightful streets twist and turn making it easy to get lost. However Taxco is small and it won't be long before you're back on familiar ground.
Taxco is about 3 hours from Mexico City by bus and worth an overnight stop. Leave a Comment
