The Magic of Mexico

Geographically, Mexico covers a mammoth land, sitting astride temperate and tropical zones and stretching ten thousand kilometers along its coast. The staggering numbers of 19 million people who do not know where to go and hence throng its center along with the countless tiny pueblos (traditional communities of Native Americans in the southwestern United States of America recognized worldwide for their adobe buildings) spotted everywhere, have presented travelers with an array of options to explore its true essence. Thanks to gazillion of travelers who flood this land seeking easy travel, its multi-billion-dollar tourism industry has been blossoming in order to keep feeding the ever-growing and insatiable tourists. And if those “investors” that help make what Mexico is today would love to experience true adventure, taking a few steps off the preplanned routes is all they need to do. Escape to the rural areas for genuine ecotourism, community tourism and activity-based tourism would add colors to your country trip by being an angelic traveler helps conserve local environments. Besides, golden opportunities to get out and embrace stunning wild places and interact with local communities to utterly soak in their culture are always opened up for travelers who love “walk and feel” than “walk and burn up pixels”.

If outdoor challenge is not your cup of tea, taking Mexican cooking lessons in the Veracruz countryside might favor you.

Other than that, there is a myriad of attractions and activities to captivate visitors. Gasping in awe in front of the 1300-year-old Maya palace at Palenque or gliding down from a palm-fringed sandy beach into the warm and turquoise waves of the Pacific at Puerto Vallarta should open up the door to more authentic Mexican feels. Once the playful cells in your body are activated, go kayaking at dawn past a colony of Baja California sea lions, dining on salmon enchiladas and chrysanthemum salad at the world-renowned connoisseur fusion restaurant in Mexico City and shaking your a*s all night long at any of the electrifying Guadalajara nightclubs. Decide what you want and create your own memorable slideshows to bring home. What? Asking for more? Alright, to immerse yourself in more truly Mexican experience, visit San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas to see how the indigenous Mayan peoples live in that beautiful colonial city.

3 Reasons Why I Love Mexico

Hey are you kidding me? This is a superstar travel destination, simply pick someone from the world’s most populated street of Tokyo and ask him to give his reasons to fall in love with Mexico, he is going to blurt out 99 reasons easily. But rule will be rule, let’s just give my own 3 absurdly best (Or I should say “bestly” absurd?) reasons to extol its beauty to the skies.

Oh my god! I’m being sucked into the time sliders again. It’s exhilarating man! Alright, I’m into my own imagination again so if you’re new here please ignore this. As you all know I love hunting stuff from the street fashion in Japan to the high fashion in Paris or Milan, travel through time back and forth from the ancient to modern world. I would never forget the amazing trip to the ancient Mexico. I was totally falling in love with traditional Mexican clothing. It has been sought after from ages ago until today. Sombrero is my favorite!
Oops, sombrero reminds me of the many historical cities standing in style across this land. They were built during the time of the Spanish colony. You know I love history. Isn’t that great to see what Fernandes Torres’ great great grandpa and his comrades left in Mexico centuries ago? Gosh! This is a real freak question. Could this be in any way implying the love for this country? YES. I’m after all a freak traveler traversing through time for the journey of life. Everyday there are thousands of travelers walking around the world just to visit historical sites and seek the true meaning of living the moment, reminiscing the past, thinking of the future.
Ok, you don’t care about all these crappy philosophies but want to live life cool. You love challenging your limit and putting your life at stake, that’s what you define as the real significance of life. Now come with me, we are going to experience the world-class canyoning that clearly tells you your limit, and human insignificance compared to the intimidating grandeur of the great Copper Canyon. I love Mexico!
