Yelapa, Jalisco, México
We caught a late afternoon bus out of Guadalajara, took our Dramamine, and settled in for the long curvy ride. We were going to be spending the night in Puerto Vallarta before continuing on to Yelapa the next day. Tourist destinations like Puerto Vallarta don’t appeal to us much, we have to admit, which is why we weren’t going to be doing a whole lot more than getting some late-night grub and rest.

Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, México
Chiapa de Corzo is one of three Pueblos Mágicos in the state of Chiapas, the others being Comitán de Domínguez and San Cristóbal de las Casas.

Given our itinerary, we ended up spending two nights, rolling in late in…

This is a very attractive pueblo with a beautiful central plaza and the town seems to be doing well. From what we could tell, the town is growing and people are enjoying a better quality of life. The central plaza hosts events and public music and dance nights on the weekends. Food around…
