“En Maximo, les ofrecemos ceniza de berenjena a nuestros comensales en lugar de mantequilla o aceite de oliva. La receta surgió en Yelapa, un día que cociné una berenjena en una fogata. Ahora las hago tatemadas, les agrego queso de cabra de Celaya y así queda una crema sedosa y deliciosa”. –Chef .

Please don't be jealous, but soon, we hope to be sending some lucky travelers to this property off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia! Chevere! Note: We can take you too!

Blue Apple's beach club is the perfect antidote to the heat and hustle of Cartagena. As we are just 30 minutes away by boat and offer three departures every day, getting here is easy, even if you're not a morning person. Also a converted private home, designed using local architectural techniques an...

This picture is exactly what we don't want to be. The irresponsible tourist. No shirt, no mask, showing no respect for the country and people they are visiting. Completely self-centered behavior. Yes, it makes me mad.

A pesar de que el estado se encuentra en semáforo verde, el gobernador Rutilio Escandón reiteró su llamado a mantener las medidas sanitarias para evitar "una nueva ola" de contagios

One of our favorite stops on the Craft Route in Oaxaca's Central Valley, is in the weaving community of Santo Tomas Jalieza. Sometimes we visit weavers in their homes, and sometimes we stop at this wonderful community craft market, located in the center of town. It's a very egalitarian place, where the community artisans rotate their time in assisting in the booths. It has recently been remodeled and now we really can't wait to see it! Note the use of local "carrizo" a wild cane that grows in the region.

En tu proxima visita a Santo Tomás Jalieza, asiste al mercado artesanal. En donde encontrarás los más bellos y originales textiles de telar de cintura elaborados con fino algodón.

Travel starts long before the actual trip. It happens in the mind and emotions of visiting a new place for the first time, or returning to a favorite destination. Exploring maps is a wonderful way to geographically orient yourself to a future travel region. One traveler has started dreaming and exploring our future Panama and Colombia trip! On this journey we'll learn about the Embera, Guna, Wounaan, Wayuu and Zenu people. We look forward to scheduling this trip Culture and Craft of Panama and Colombia in 2022!

We're getting great feedback and interest for this trip on the Dress of Frida Kahlo, scheduled for October 2022. A list has started and registrations have begun!

Thank you!

A singular aspect of Frida Kahlo and her identity was her dress. Frida used dress consciously in the creation of her identity. Through dr...

Guauuu! Thank you Condé Nast Traveler for this honorable recognition of our work and years of travel and immersion in Mexico, with the Mexican people. Thank you SO much!

Slow re-opening of museums in Mexico City. Good news, but now is an important time to be careful. Things are looking up, but it's no time to let the guard down. Stay safe, careful and smart!

La reapertura de museos en la Ciudad de México tras la pandemia será paulatina y tomando las medidas sanitarias

I've never been to the beaches on the Isthmus of Tehuàntepec. Need to change that!

The light had a very special quality on this particular day and visit to the UNAM Campus and the Juan O'Gorman library. The alabaster windows seen from the inside, seemed to be designed for days like these. Last year in Mexico City,
