This Easter we checked out Holbox Island — a great place for a family reunion as 10 of us headed there to enjoy the beaches of Holbox.

Las Estacas
Las Estacas is a wonderful one-day escape from Mexico City. It’s a natural, lazy river with deep plunges you can jump into, swimming pools, camping or cabins. My husband lived in Mexico City for three years when he was a pre-teen, and one of his fondest memories is of Las Estacas. Back then there was …
Chiapas
Nine day tour through the jungle of Chiapas, touring archeological sites, walking in the jungle, boat rides, waterfall swims and more.
Mercado Jamaica

Playa San Agustinillo
We loved our week-long stay in the Huatulco area, on the Oaxacan coast in the small town of San Agustinillo. The perfect beachtown getaway.
Tepoztlán
Tepoztlán is a Pueblo Magico just 85 km south of CDMX. In an hour and a half drive you will arrive to a cute town full of great restaurants, hiking and markets to enjoy. I really miss a good hike on a holiday, so this town was high on our list! The first day we …
