And to pick just some of them to visit is difficult since the area of the Riviera Maya has so many beautiful landscapes that seems to invite people to explore them all.  However, you probably will not have time to see them all. Therefore, I will tell you about the best tourist places near Cancun.

One of the most amazing places to visit is Isla Mujeres (Women Island). Isla Mujeres is a fascinating island that is located 13 km (8.1 miles) northeast of Cancun. The island is about 7 km (4.3 miles) long and 650 meters (2,130 feet) wide. History says that during pre-columbian times the island served as a Mayan sanctuary to the goddess of childbirth and medicine Ixchel. When the Spanish conquerors arrived at the island in the 16th century they named it Isla Mujeres due to the many images of goddesses they saw. Two of the most popular activities in the island are snorkeling and scuba diving. The water is so blue and clear, and the marine life is so rich that exploring the reefs and caves of Isla Mujeres is an unforgettable experience. 

Another impressive place near Cancun that is a must is Puerto Morelos. Puerto Morelos is a town located 37 km (23 miles) south of Cancun. Puerto Morelos is a quiet fishing village which makes a perfect option for those seeking tranquility; but at the same time, it offers abundant tourist amenities. The pier set at the center of the town is the home of snorkel and sport fishing boats that take tourists to the second largest coral reef system in the world located 500 meters (5.00 inches) off the beach in Puerto Morelos. Furthermore, near Puerto Morelos there is a zone in which you will find many cenotes (sinkholes) and underground rivers. In that area, tourists can engage into various activities such as snorkeling, zip lines and scuba diving. 

A further great place close to Cancun is Bacalar. Bacalar is a town located 341 km (211 miles) south of Cancun that owns breathtaking views of the Caribbean landscapes and rich history and culture. For that reason, Bacalar has been designated as a Pueblo Magico (Magic Town) by the Mexican Secretary of Tourism. Bacalar is the only Pueblo Magico in the area of the Mexican Caribbean. The town of Bacalar offers many tourist highlights. The most important one is its seven-colored lagoon calles the Lake of Seven Colors. Moreover, you can also visit the Cenote Azul (Blue Sinkhole) set right at the entrance of Bacalar. This sinkhole is perfect for divers who want to explore the great depth and special features. Another beautiful place in Bacalar is the Chacchoben archeological site.

As you see, not only Cancun but also other places around the Riviera Maya are always ready to be explored in order to discover a different and gorgeous side of Mexico. The majority of tourists do not know about these sites and many others that might be as beautiful or even more beautiful than the usual vacation destinations.

Tours and Wanderings in Mexico City

Are you going to travel to Mexico City for your next vacation, honeymoon or business trip? If you are, you surely must know that Mexico City is the most important cultural, historical, political, and financial destination in the country. For this reason, the city has been nicknamed as the "Manhattan of Latin America". It is worth walking and exploring its historical places and stunning monuments.

One of the most important cultural and historical site in Mexico City is The Zocalo. The Zocalo is the main square of the city. It is the biggest in Mexico and the second largest public square in the world, preceded only by the Red Square of Moscow in Russia. This place is of great significance for the Mexican history since the square was built on what used to be the palace of Montezuma (Aztec emperor). Most of the mansions and public buildings that stand around The Zocalo have been constructed with the same stones of the Aztec temples hundreds years ago. The formal name of the square is Plaza de la Constitucion (Constitution Square) where there were plans to set an Independence monument but only the base (the zocalo) was built. This is why everyone calls it The Zocalo. This main square holds the most important buildings of the city and the nation such as The Metropolitan Cathedral and The National Palace.

Another relevant spot in Mexico City is the Paseo de la Reforma (Reforma Avenue). The Paseo is an elegant boulevard that runs in a straight line. It was designed by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig in the 1860s and he based his designs on the most famous boulevards of Europe such as the Champs-Elysees in Paris, France and the Ringstrasse in Vienna, Austria. The Paseo de la Reforma holds modern high buildings such as the Art Deco National Lottery Building and the functionalist IMSS building. Moreover, you will find federal governmental offices, many important banks and the Mexican Stock Exchange building. In addition to this, there are other historical sites like the Chapultepec Park, the Castle of Chapultepec, the Chapultepec Zoo, the National Museum of Anthropology, the Modern Art Museum and the National Museum of History. Besides, you can find many famous monuments; the most famous one is the Angel de la Independencia (Independence Angel).

Finally, a further famous spot in Mexico City is the Zona Rosa (Pink Zone). The Zona Rosa is one of the most famous and exclusive neighborhoods in Mexico City located just outside of the historic downtown of Mexico City. The neighborhood is officially part of the Colonia Juarez community. The Zona Rosa began as a when it was constructed as a residential area for wealthy foreigners and Mexican residents that wanted to move away from the downtown district. Zona Rosa was later revitalized by artists and intellectuals who gave it that characteristic bohemian style. Nowadays, the area holds a large number of sculptures, art galleries, antique stores and crafts shops as well as the National Art School of UNAM and the Jose Luis Cuevas Art Corridor. Furthermore, since the 1990s, Zona Rosa has become the home for the gay community where you will find a lot of gay bars/clubs and it is the sponsor of the annual pride parade.

All in all, these and many more are the tours and wanderings in Mexico City that you can enjoy to discover and explore a very significant part of the old and new Mexican culture. Do not forget to try the typical and real Mexican food too!

Do you like whispers? So You Should Visit Los Cabos

Are you thinking about travelling abroad this summer? If you still haven't thought about where to go, I will recommend a place full of breathtaking landscapes, luxurious hotels and resorts, and fun activities to enjoy: Los Cabos. Los Cabos have lately been turning into one of the most important tourist destination around the world. Do you like whispers? So, you should visit Los Cabos.

Los Cabos is an area located in the southern part of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, surrounded by the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. American and Canadian tourists love to travel there to spend their vacation. The two most important cities in Los Cabos are Cabos San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo (this is why Los Cabos is also known as a dual destination). San Jose del Cabo is a quiet and more relaxing city and Cabo San Lucas is the "wild sister" since it is well known for its nightlife. Both cities are connected by Los Cabos Tourist Corridor, a 33 km (20 miles) highway which boasts gorgeous beaches, sumptuous beach resorts and perfect spots for practising water and land sports.

The most important attraction of Los Cabos is The Arch of Cabo San Lucas (Land's End). This is an important tourist site since it is the point at which the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet. In Land's End, many people go to admire the natural rock formations and practise water sports. The two most popular activities are snorkeling and scuba-diving since the underwater marine life is so diverse and exotic. Another place where you can snorkel and dive is the National Marine Park at Cabo Pulmo. The park features over 350 varieties of tropical fish and the famous living coral reefs. Besides snorkeling and scuba-diving, you can explore these zone while doing stand up paddle surfing. El Medano Beach is a great location for doing this.

After so much fun and excitement, you will surely feel tired and hungry. So, where are the best places to have dinner, lunch or maybe just get some snacks. If you want to try some of the best local authentic Mexican food, you should visit El Meson del Angel. This restaurant, set in San Jose del Cabo, offers Mexican (fried squids, octopus, guacamole, shrimps and many more) and Mestizo cuisine (mixture of Mexican and European). On the other hand, if you want to try the best Mexican drinks, then you should stop by the Monkey Business Bar. This great bar has been ranked number 1 among 311 other restaurants in Cabo San Lucas by Trip Advisor reviewers and has received the 2013 Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence. The margaritas at the Monkey Bar are the most delicious and they are giant!

As you see, Los Cabos is an excellent location to enjoy yourself, relax and have fun. Full of special attractions and sites to explore, this little piece of paradise seems to have been especially designed for families, groups of friends and lovers.
