If a trip is best measured in memories, well our Central Mexico tours produce many. In his 18th instalment from one of our tours, Dale of The Maritime Explorer shares why he loves this region just so much.

This is my eighteenth post from last year’s inaugural Central Mexico with Victor Romagnali offered by Canadian travel company Adventures Abroad. It was one of the best overall trips Alison and I have ever been on and traveling with Victor always guarantees a great cultural, historical and gustatory experience. Continue reading →

Oh, the stories we collect while travelling. Some trips prove to create more tales than others, and we are thrilled to present another post from Dale of The Maritime Explorer of his trip to Mexico with us last year.

We love a country that has cultural depth, and Mexico is a fine example of such a country. Many thanks to Dale of The Maritime Explorer for capturing a sense of some of the greatness of Mexico with this wonderful post about Teotihuacan. Many thanks to Dale for also allowing us to share his words and photos with you.

What better way to depict history than by a painting to ensure generations can understand important facets of culture?  Dale of The Maritime Explorer joined us for a recent tour to Cacaxtla to see the ancient murals for himself. Many thanks to him for allowing us to share his insights.
