The first it looks as if the rock is going to fall if you move a bit further, but it's lovely too. Can't wait to hear about your trip, and see more photos! http://www.travelpod.com/members/greekcypriot -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

I'd say go there before any other place in Mexico, it's definitely an INCREDIBLE, AMAZING place. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

I love them all, what's great about central and southern Mexico (I'm not as much of a fan of the north) is that almost every city is amazing and they're all so unique. If you have to choose a single city in Mexico to go to yeah, definitely go with D.F. but I would recommend any of the other 5 I mentioned to anyone just as readily.

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 4290 Joined: 25-March 09 Member No.: 273790	Finally, I want to travel to Mexico and a few cities in the USA next year. I wonder what the best season for someone visiting Mexico is! And of course New Zealand....but it is really too far. (Who knows- if I keep it in my mind all the time and think positive ) !!! I might have the chance to visit some day! -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

I took a cheap local flight that landed in Calama, which is less than an hour from Atacama. It's easy to get from Calama to Atacama via bus, shuttle, etc. There's also a bus that goes North from Santiago, but I don't remember how long the bus ride is. It's very easy to get there. -------------------- Check out my blogs, Friendo! Latin America, US Southwest and Beyond!
