Hey!<br><br>I went to a big archeological site north of Mexico City called Teotihuacan, to help tear down the rest of the ruins by walking on them. We were not many tourists there, because it´s low season right now I guess. It´s not often you wish you were surrounded by more tourists but when hawker outnumber it´s preys (tourists) 3:1 you get the eyes of every single hawker on you. To Mexican hawkers credit they usually walk away after just one "no". <br ...

... Es muy bien. Then we had a little trouble following the map as some streets were blocked with construction (even went the wrong way up a one way street!) The streets are amazing! so narrow with the houses right on the street. We got to the Hacienda de Perote and found it to be a very nice modernised place. The original buildings were built 400 years ago when the winery was there. The Alaskan couple were lovely and showed us around the winery and ...

I have done a fair amount of long-distance cycling in my life and this flashback elicited some beautiful memories of past bicycle tours in France.

... 4,500 masks from all over Mexico. They are so exotic and dissimilar that you would think they came from all over the world. Fascinating!" - in Barbara's words. Seeing the state of Ex Templo de San Augustine was an epiphany for me. It made me realize that without restoration many of the beautiful buildings that one takes for granted in Zacatecas and in other parts of Mexico for that matter would be in the same condition as the "Templo". It is the ...

... value for money, and in my opinion the best of the hostels. The staff was faultless and would always be full of smiles. I can&#8217;t pick a single fault with the place.<br><br>Hostal Villa Colonial, Corner of Calle 1 de Mayo &amp; Callejon Mono Prieto, Tel: 01 (492) 9221980. This hostel is housed in a fine colonial house and benefits from an excellent location, tucked in ...

... travelling on a budget then I highly recommend staying in the tranquil village of Pie De La Cuesta, just nine kilometres up the coast. From here buses run frequently in to town, but don't return in the rush hour as it can be painfully slow - as I found out. Once in Pie De La Cuesta you will find excellent guesthouses and hotels at ...
