This website is a sharing of Mexican spaces and favorite places for those who like exploring the country of Mexico; a gathering of information and photos of locations, some already visited and experienced and others I’ve merely dreamed of visiting as yet. The website is sorted into various sections that hopefully make browsing and searching easy. Please use the menu to the right to get around.
I have wandered all my life, and I have traveled; the difference between the two is this – we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.— Hilaire Belloc
