Before my last visit, the first images that popped to mind when I thought of Guanajuato State were those of colorful towns, the artworks of Diego Rivera, and the adventures of Don Quijote. And while Guanajuato is definitely ALL THAT, I never would have expected to find such a huge array of natural activities in the state, especially considering its relatively small siz[...]
Growing up in Mexico City, Guanajuato was never really on my radar as a must-visit destination. After all, going just about anywhere else in the world sounded a lot more enticing to me. When I came back to Mexico City in 2020, I made it my mission to explore as much of my home country as I possibly could. Borders to most other countries were closed, anyway, so it only[...]
Tulum went from being a tiny fishing village to turning into one of Mexico's most popular beach destinations. Seriously, I remember when I visited for the first time way before I became a travel blogger and the change is insane! It makes total sense, though. Not only are the pristine beaches that line the town absolutely picture-perfect, but there's also so much to do[...]
Even though most people head to destinations like Tulum, Cancun, and Los Cabos, Mexico is a humongous country with a lot more to offer visitors. Whether you're on the lookout for a beach holiday, a trip spent gorging on authentic street food or exploring small colorful towns, Mexico has a little something for everyone. There are a thousand plus one hidden gems in Mexic[...]
Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is one of my favorite places to travel in Mexico. From its pristine coastline, its incredible wildlife, and the most unique natural wonders, I always feel it's the perfect place to get an introduction to Mexico, so whenever someone comes to visit me, I always make an effort to show them around the area. A perfect two-week Yucatan Pe[...]
Back when I was a teenager, I stumbled across a set of pictures of Lake Retba, a pink lake in Senegal and I became obsessed, not knowing that there were lakes just like it in my own country. Just like most people visiting Las Coloradas nowadays, I found out about the existence of Mexico's pink lakes via Instagram and have visited them twice since then. It's pretty cra[...]
How do you even begin to plan a trip to an island that is saturated by beauty, natural wonders, and picture-perfect white-sand beaches? Holbox Island used to be one of the biggest hidden gems in Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, but it has gained a lot of popularity because, well... it's a truly amazing destination! With so many things to do in Holbox, planning the per[...]
August has been filled with some pretty kick-ass activities all over the ever-alluring Yucatan Peninsula, and one of my favorites by far has been getting to visit many of the best cenotes in Valladolid, a stunning colonial town lined by quaint and colorful buildings that sits just a short bus ride away from Tulum. The Best Cenotes in Valladolid What are cenotes?[...]

I've officially found one of the dreamiest Mexican Beaches and I never expected it would be on the coast of Huatulco, Oaxaca (I would have sworn the best beaches were in the Yucatan Peninsula!). My little slice of paradise is called Cacaluta Beach and if you're into secluded paradises away from the crowds, you're going to fall hard for it, too! It looks like this:[...]
If it weren't for the fact that my father decided to make this neighborhood his home a couple of years back when he moved to Oaxaca for work, I doubt I would have ever had the opportunity to discover Jalatlaco. This quaint little barrio is truly one of the hidden gems in Mexico. It sits a ten-minute walking distance from Oaxaca's city center. And yet, it struggles to[...]
