We visited Puerto Vallarta at the beginning of August 2023, which is considered one of the rainiest months (Sept is also rainy), oops! We still had a good time and were able to do all the excursions we had planned since the rain/thunderstorms usually occurred late afternoon or overnight. Apparently, the best time to visit is between April and June for good weather and affordable prices
For our 1 week trip to Puerto Vallarta, we spent the first half at an all-inclusive resort and the second half in an Airbnb so we could explore the local cuisine! I would definitely recommend doing both!

Cenotes are one of the main attractions of Yucatan; there isn't anything like them anywhere else. These underground caves filled with water are a must for all those who wish to visit this Mexican state; however, deciding which cenote to visit is a hard task having so many of them (estimated upwards of 7,000!).
I grew up in Yucatan, where "cenotear", visiting cenotes for a day during the weekend, was a common activity to spend my free time. During that time, I have visited more cenotes than I can count; this guide provides a list of the cenotes I recommend visiting.
The list is divided into two different parts: cenotes to visit from Merida and cenotes to visit from Valladolid. Regardless of that distinction, you can choose to visit cenotes listed among those closer to either city. I have done so plenty of times from Merida.
Additionally, the guide includes my recommendations and a few tips for visiting cenotes.

Oaxaca has countless wonders waiting just outside of the city's footprint, offering opportunities to experience the regions many traditional crafts firsthand. When I spent 3 weeks in Oaxaca in late 2021, I traveled to many of these countryside destinations, and I've collected that info in this guide.
Below, you’ll find detailed instructions on how to:
1. Shop for traditional black pottery in the village
known for this craft .
2. Discover spirit guides and mezcal culture in the
same region.
3. Learn the ancient art of rug weaving from families
who have been doing so for generations.
4. Taste regional culture at the Sunday market.
5. Escape into the lush mountains south of the city.
These itineraries are ones I’ve spent hours researching and testing out for myself. Enjoy this self guided opportunity to dive into the wonders of Oaxaca!
