A different view of Mexico


Most tourists to Mexico have their feet firmly on the ground, but not all.

El Potrero Chico, south of El Paso, Texas, is a destination for rock climbers from all over the world. Had you visited over the Christmas holidays you would have met climbers from Canada, the US, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and even Mexico itself!

If hanging by a thread from the heights is not your interest, you might want to consider a vacation to Loreto on the Sea of Cortez in Baja. Loreto Bay is a charming town (the resort is outside of the town itself) that looks out on a marine preserve. Visit at the right time of year and you could see migrting whales! Visit at any time of year and have a wonderfully relaxing vacation.
