River in Antigua, 15 minutes from Veracruz. It is here that Hernan Cortes moored his boats in the 1500s.

Things to Do in Veracruz, Mexico

On April 21st 1519 Hernan Cortes landed in Antigua, near the site of Veracruz. There, to prevent all thought of retreat, he burned his ships, and leaving a small force on the coast, led the rest of his men into the interior to change history- without knowing it. The city of Veracruz is today just [...]

The cathedral in Cordoba, Veracruz.

What to See and Do in Cordoba, Veracruz

Founded in 1618 Cordoba in Veracruz is the third largest city in the state, yet what is has in age it lacks in taste, architecture and attractions- but there are a handful of things to see. The city is made up of mostly old buildings that were apparently never planned and need all the maintenance [...]

Review: Hotel Veracruz in Veracruz, Mexico

Rich in history, very industrial, and less touristy than what it should be Veracruz is Mexico’s largest city along the gulf’s shore, and its harbor is the largest in the country. It’s not surprising then that there are many hotels to choose from, yet I found Hotel Veracruz very conveniently located just five minutes away [...]

For the Tarahumaras age is not a factor: this 83 year old man was running the 100 km race. I took this picture when he had run about 60.

Meet the Tarahumara (Raramuri): the Best Trail Runners in the World?

The Sierra Madre mountains of northern Mexico are home to not only one of the four largest canyons in the world, Copper Canyon, but to who many consider to be the best trail and endurance runners in the world: the indigenous Tarahumara, or Raramuri.  For a better part of the year the evasive  Tarahumara live [...]

Going the Cowboy Way: Rocketbuster Boots in El Paso, Texas

Say “Texas” and everyone will think cowboys, and with a reason. The largest state in continental US has always been a reference for all things cowboy , probably thanks to the good old western movies from back in the days, and while cars have replaced horses and people usually don’t carry guns anymore the cowboy [...]

A Day in Ciudad Juarez (Video)

For many years Ciudad Juarez has been a dangerous city off limits to pretty much anybody who didn’t live here; in fact many of its citizens fled to places across the border or to other cities in Mexico. But things have changed and Ciudad Juarez is slowly but steadily becoming again what it used to [...]

My Favorite Restaurant in El Paso, Texas

There are many fantastic restaurants in El Paso that serve great Tex-Mex food, but perhaps surprisingly there’s one that stands out above them all. Set right besides Mexico and just a bridge away from Ciudad Juarez  food in El Paso  has always been influenced by the cuisine on the other side of the border, with [...]

Four times larger than the Grand Canyon yet as many times unknown Copper Canyon is undoubtedly one of Mexico’s most fascinating attractions.
