Cruise Countdown

There are so many things to do in each port of call. A few years ago Lyndelle and I participated in the Zipline Canopy Tour. We had a great time. It was very exhilarating. Take a look at the video for just a small taste. Holland America is unique when it comes to cruising the Mexican Riviera. They have a special Sea of Cortez itinerary that visits La Paz, Loreto and Topolabambo- where you can take a train ride to the famed "Copper Canyon".

What will your Mexican adventure be? Will you visit the quaint Rio Cuale in Puerto Vallarta for its local artisan shops as well as iquanas in the trees? You can settle in one of the restuarants and enjoy a margarita. Maybe a tequilla tour at a hacienda where you can sample some exotic blends.
In Mazatlan there is a hidden jewel not far from the famed church in Old Town. About 3 blocks south on Benito Juarez you will find the Plaza Machado. This small plaza is surrounded by street front cafes and aritst galleries. It is truly a small artist enclave. Of course there is always the Zona Dorado (Golden Zone) filled with high end jewelry stores. Right across the street is the Las Flores resort. Here you can have a wonderful lunch and enjoy the beach.
