One Saturday last month my boyfriend and I decided to take an impromptu weekend trip to the Pueblo Mágico of Tapalpa. We did a little Google research to find a pet-friendly hotel, packed overnight bags, and loaded the car. By about 10am, Luis, Taco, and I were on our way.
I feel like I already wrote about our Nayarit road trip. Having planned so well, the actual road trip was a lot like what I already described. As usual, I took way too many photos, which you can find in my Google photo album. The ones in this post will, I hope, whet your appetite.
I’m taking a road trip to Nayarit! Since the pandemic, I’ve had to postpone or cancel some plans for overseas travel. But I’m trying to make up for it by seeing Mexico. Already this year I’ve been to on a road trip to the states of Zacatecas and Aguascalientes, and on tours to Guanajuato and…
After almost two years of planning my trip to Israel, today I canceled.
The hotel where we stayed in Copper Canyon was really nice, but it didn’t have WiFi, so I couldn’t share any blog posts while I was there. I did write during the four days I spent there, but couldn’t upload anything. So here is the whole deal in one loooong post. I’m happy to be…
The first leg of our tour to Copper Canyon was our 90-minute flight to Chihuahua. We arrived yesterday afternoon and everyone luggage came off the plane and got claimed, and mine was no where to be seen. It turns out it had fallen off the carousel and landed behind it, out of view. I had to…
Planning my upcoming trip to Turkey, Ethiopia, Israel, and Jordan has become a huge challenge. And considering I’m going on a tour, that’s a pretty remarkable statement. I’ve planned complete two- and three-week adventures all by myself, and it hasn’t been this complicated. I’ve already postponed this trip twice due to Covid, and now it…
For my next adventure, I’m going to Copper Canyon (in Spanish, Las Barrancas del Cubre), in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
With just three nights in Guanajuato, I didn’t blog while I was there. So instead I’m offering this overview and review.
Guanajuato has been called the most beautiful city in Mexico and it’s definitely the most attractive city we’ve visited. Simon Fairbairn and Erin McNeaney, Never Ending Voyage
I’ve been home two weeks from my first road trip in Mexico. It was magical in many ways, and whatever the opposite of “magical” is, some of the time it was that. Here are some random thoughts about road-tripping in Mexico and about Pueblos Mágicos.
I’m home now, but I last left off in Calvillo, so I have to fill in the last two days in Nochistlán and Teúl. There’s a lot to unpack here, including beautiful scenery, a town that exceeded expectations, and one that fell short. Plus my last night puking in my cabin. But we’ll get to that.
