Continuing with my series of Instant Memories, here’s the one from my trip to the Sumidero Canyon, the first one from my journey through Latin America. With its 1000 meters, from the surface of the Grijalva River to the top of the canyon, it is one of the biggest canyons in the world and a really… (continue reading)
Kino Bay is a small beach town located less than an hour away from the capital city of Hermosillo, Sonora. Since it is not very developed, this makes it the ideal weekend escape from the city, where you can enjoy the desert, the beach and everything that comes along with it.

The sun setting behind it while hundreds of people gathered by the public fountains, young and old, having the time of their lives on a lazy sunday afternoon. It’s funny how things take a new meaning… (continue reading)
Continuing with my series of posts about being a tourist in your own city, I decided to go to one of the most famous markets in Mexico City, and one in which I had never been to before: the San Juan market, which is located near the city’s downtown.
