- Puerto Vallarta Bass Fishing.
The world's finest destination for vacation is Puerto Vallarta Mexico. It is well- known for its legitimate environment located on a large bay of beautiful sandy beaches and they are filled with big lunkers.
This is the real Mexico complete with cobblestone streets and colonial architecture with beautiful weather that goes along with, and friendly people bringing their warm smiles.
Puerto Vallarta is one of the loveliest places you can spot on the globe. It combines a unique ethnic culture with today's resort facilities, reflected in a variety and inspiring activities and convenient accommodations. Puerto Vallarta's geographical diversity is represented in its mountains, jungles, waterfalls, rivers and weather is not a hindrance for your fabtastic vacation. They always have a great weather that will not spoil your ultimate vacation in life.
As the Puerto Vallarta's popularity has grown bigger and bigger, more tourist flock in, luckily it does not get crowded in the view of the fact that it is located on the huge Banderas bay ("also known as Bay of Flags"), one of the largest natural bay of Pacific Ocean.
Banderas Bay is one of the most excellent locations for sport fishing in the globe. Angler's from around the world come back every year to find out if they can beat the last year's big fish that had been caught. It is a brilliant place to find bass fish, mahi-mahi, marlin, tuna, Dorado, rooster tail, and red snapper for the reason that it is a 40- mile-wide bay, with a depth of two miles.
Some of the other species that can be caught in the area include Amberjack, Pargo, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, Grouper, Rainbow Runner, Red Snapper, Rooster Fish, Sierra, Spanish Macarel, Triggerfish, and many more.
One of Mexico's hottest bass fishing lake is known as Agua Milpa, which opened in the fall of 1997.the 70,000 acre lake, one of the most easy to get to of Mexico's hot bass fishing lake can get to by paved road in 3 hours, either your heading from Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta or by air to Tepic, Nayarit then a short 45 minute ride to the lodge.
The largemouth bass fish lake was secluded from fishing until the fall of '97. It is an ideal food base and has an ideal growing temperature for bass fishing making it as there own paradise. Agua Milpa Lake is loaded with aggressive largemouth bass, averaging from 2 ½ to 10 pounds. The most numbered healthy bass fish caught was over 50 fishes for just 4 hours and the largest fish caught that time weighs six pounds.
The best fishing rigs in Mexico are the bass fishing boats and motors. They are all equipped with new or nearly new outboards, troll motors and swivel fish.
Fishing fanatics from all over the world meet on this lake to try their luck in catching the largest creatures that are hard to find. They are required to have a fishing license either for daily or annual purposes. Tournaments and most of the fishing activities are coordinated at the Puerto Vallarta Bass club located at the lake Agua Milpa
Catching and releasing fish is now starting to get known in Puerto Vallarta and in the world which make the anglers more concerned about protecting and increasing the sport fish population. Practicing good catch and release techniques provides a first class fishing experience while recognizing our responsibility to maintain our valuable fishing resources for future generations. When properly handled and released, fish will continue to repopulate the waters for our continued enjoyments. If fishes are not released and handled properly, there will come a time that in the next generation fishes will not be transparent anymore.
Pity the children of the next generation for they may no longer see the beauty and exquisiteness of the fishes that swim in the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, bays and other aquatic forms. Still pity to them for they can no longer taste the deliciousness of these fishes.
Come and visit Puerto Vallarta if you want to have the big chance of a life time. Choose this place for your next vacation and you won't regret the adventure you'll have to experience and the beautiful sceneries and exotic beauties of the place.

- Cancun is Back and Better than Ever!
On October 21, 2005, Cancun was struck by Hurricane Wilma, the most intense Atlantic storm on record. However, after little more than a year, Cancun has remerged as an even more enticing destination. With over $1.5 billion committed to the citywide rebuilding effort, resorts have not only repaired their structures, but have improved upon pre-storm conditions. Nearly all of the city's restaurants and bars have reopened, many with sparkling new additions and renovations. However, Cancun isn't finished. Many more improvements will be completed early this season, guaranteeing that this could be the best year ever to visit beautiful Cancun.
Perhaps the best upgrades in Cancun were performed on the world-famous beaches. Known for their wide stretches of white powder sand, Cancun's beaches were reduced to rocks by Wilma's storm surge. Yet, because of eroding beachfronts throughout the world, the technology of beach reclamation has grown by leaps and bounds. Belgian firm, Jan de Nul, used their latest innovations to extract 96 million cubic feet of pristine sand from the waters off the Mexican coast. After the sand was transported by a pair of vessels back to shore, giant pipes succeeded in reforming up to a half mile of beach per week.
Yet, Cancun didn't settle for a copy of the old beaches. According to Cancun's Convention and Visitor's Bureau, "The white beaches are what Cancun is all about. So we wanted to make sure we were getting that same silky sand that people love and a lot more of it than before." In fact, the new beaches of Cancun average 140 feet in width, double the 70 foot width visitors were accustomed to not long ago. This sizable upgrade means not only will the beaches of Cancun look better than ever before, but visitors will have much more room to play or relax in the sun.
Cancun's finest resorts certainly didn't spare any expense during the reconstruction either. In addition to necessary repairs and upgrades required as a result of the storm, tourists will also recognize a number of notable improvements at their favorite resorts, from new recreational facilities to larger rooms. The streets of the Hotel Zone have even been lined with 6,000 fully-grown palm trees.
Furthermore, most of the major construction and renovation in the Hotel Zone was completed by the end of 2006, so current visitors won't be bothered. Though a few resorts will be remodeling through 2007, very few tourists have been distracted. Through August 2006, Cancun had already returned to 79% hotel room capacity, just below annual averages for the summer off-season. In fact, many of these visitors were unaware of the rebuilding that took place as nearly all of the resorts and businesses were open during the 2006 holiday travel season.
The nearby island of Cozumel, a popular cruise ship port, also underwent extensive renovations. One of the island's primary piers reopened to cruise ships at the end of 2006, while the other will reopen later this year. Inland from Cancun, millions of acres of Mexico's famous jungles remain undamaged. Most importantly, the historic Mayan ruins near Cancun were unharmed and remain open for tours. If you still had any doubts regarding the success of Cancun's recovery, the leading travel publications have already returned the city to its lofty position. Conde Nast Traveler, Travelocity.com, 10best.com and many others have ranked Cancun as both a top beach destination and a leading choice for quick getaways. Furthermore, the American Express Travel Report, one of the most respected studies of upcoming travel trends, has rated Cancun as the fifth-most popular international destination for the coming year.
These accolades and the growing evidence of a successful rebuilding effort points not only to a miraculous resurgence for this luxurious resort city, but also highlights Cancun's eternal allure.

- Cabo San Lucas Activities You Can Enjoy.
You can enjoy many Cabo San Lucas activities in this beautiful part of the world. The most southern tip of Mexico hosts sports and adventures for you to take part in, and get a real feel for Cabo San Lucas. Take a break from the laying in the sunshine, and you can do something you'll remember for a long time.
A Cabo San Lucas ATV tour is a perfect way for you to get to know some of the Cabo desert terrain. You get a practice session first so you get used to the ATV, and then you're taken by a guide around the desert at a comfortable pace.
You'll stop off for a break once in a while, and the guide will talk about the area you're in. It's interesting as well as exciting. A good tip with an ATV tour is to take your camera. You'll see lots of spectacular scenery that you'll want to see again.
Another one of the many Cabo San Lucas activities you can enjoy is swimming with dolphins. You can get up close and personal with these beautiful marine mammals. You'll spend time with the same dolphin so they get used to you, and learn about them. Dolphins are very intelligent, and that's what makes it such an inspiring experience.
Whale watching is big in Cabo San Lucas. These huge mammals migrate south during the months of January to march to the warmer waters of Mexico. You can go on a whale watching expedition, and you can actually get close enough to touch these magnificent creatures.
A Cabo cruise is something different to the usual energetic Cabo San Lucas activities. You can go snorkelling on your cruise. You'll get to see some marine life in the Santa Maris bay.
You'll also get taken to see the sights such as the Archway. This is one of the most viewed parts of Cabo San Lucas. You'll get a front row seat for it on your Cabo cruise.
After seeing the sights of what's on land you finish up with a Pacific Ocean sun set. You get drinks as well while you're enjoying the sun set. It's a great way to finish your day on your Cabo vacation.
Jet skis are a fun way to spend an hour on your vacation. You'll find these to rent for the half hour or hour at El Medano Beach. They're easy to ride, and after a quick safety talk you'll be off in no time. All you have to watch out for is other traffic on the sea, and make sure you don't go around the Archway onto the Pacific Ocean.
A vacation in Cabo San Lucas is an experience of a life time. It's not a big place, but there is so much to do. You would need another vacation afterwards if you tried to fit it all into one vacation. There's also too many Cabo San Lucas activities to mention in one article.

- Have You Ever Watched a Flame Thrower While Eating a Taco?
Those who visit the Hotel Playa Mazatlan have the option of attending one of the longest running dinner shows in Mexico. The Fiesta Mexicana has been delighting guests of the Hotel Playa Mazatlan for nearly forty years. This night of food, drink and entertainment is a night of enjoyment that all who attend are sure to remember. Currently the Fiesta Mexicana takes place three nights a week at the Hotel Playa Mazatlan. Each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night the staff of the hotel delight the guests with this night of authentic food and entertainment.
The food is only part of the experience at Fiesta Mexicana but it is definitely a part that you shouldn't miss. Fiesta Mexicana would not be complete without the scrumptious buffet that offers a variety of authentic Mexican cuisine. Some of the savory dishes offered in this seemingly endless buffet include carne asada, pineapple tamales, cheese enchiladas and smoked marlin tostadas. The variety of mouth watering dishes available in the Fiesta Mexicana buffet makes it difficult to decide what to eat. Luckily this buffet is available three nights of week so if you are staying for a few days you will likely have at least two opportunities to indulge in this feast.
Besides the mouth watering buffet, the other great aspect of the Fiesta Mexicana is the entertainment. The entire family will delight in the entertainment that features folk music and dance from all over Mexico. Everyone enjoys the live music and dancing but that is not all that the Fiesta Mexicana has to offer in terms of entertainment. In addition you can also witness the classic Mexican hat dance and enjoy featured comedians and magicians. The fire and machete dance is another crowd favorite as many are drawn to the intrigue that comes with the element of danger.
Visitors to the Hotel Playa Mazatlan should be sure to partake in the famed Fiesta Mexicana. This night of food and entertainment has a forty year tradition that has delighted countless visitors.

- Puerto Vallarta Travel.
Overview
Puerto Vallarta, Mexicos second largest beach resort, lies in the middle of the Bahía de Banderas bay. The majority of Puerto Vallartas hotels are clustered in Nuevo Vallarta, a fairly tourist-oriented stretch of coast. South of Nuevo Vallarta is the recently constructed marina where the rich and famous who have chosen Puerto Vallarta as their vacation home keep their sailboats and yachts. The citys historic center has kept its appeal even amidst the movement toward modernity -- it is perhaps the area that has a majority of the citys sightseeing attractions. At night, most of the townspeople meet at the zócalo, the citys nightlife center. The island in the river, Isla Río Cuale, is also a popular tourist destination, lined in the center with high-end restaurants and galleries.
Sightseeing Attractions
While Puerto Vallartas beaches remain its largest attractions, there are several notable sights that make the city distinct. Taking a walk through the citys center will offer visitors a glimpse of Puerto Vallartas culture, as its locals carry baskets of clothing to the river for washing or browse for the best deals in the markets. In the center, visitors will find such notable landmarks as the Church of Guadalupe, the Plaza Aquiles Serdán, and the seahorse statue. The Isla Río Cuale is also a good spot for sightseeing outside of the main tourist-oriented center. Theres an archeology museum at the foot of the island that displays items that were locally-found, and John Huston's statue can be found at the entrance to a park where local women wash their clothing.
Outdoor Activities
As a primarily outdoor-oriented vacation spot, Puerto Vallarta has many outdoor activities available for its tourists. There are several golf courses scattered around the island. Some of the more notable courses are The Mayan Palace Nuevo Vallarta Golf Club, Vista Vallarta, and La Marina Vallarta. Windsurfing and parasailing are available through vendors at almost every beach as well as snorkeling. However, the best places to snorkel are through the Los Arcos underwater caves and Marietas Islands caverns. Banderas Bay is a popular spot for fishing and the home to an annual fishing tournament. And finally, many ranches throughout the city offer horseback riding opportunities.
Nightlife
Puerto Vallarta is not the most popular destination for its nightlife; in fact, most of the people youll find in its clubs, bars, and restaurants are tourists. However, there are ample eating, drinking, and shopping experiences to be had in the city. The majority of these attractions can be found clustered around the most popular beaches, throughout the citys center, and in the center of the Isla Río Cuale.

- About Acapulco.
Mexico's first great resort destination, Acapulco is a stunningly beautiful city located around a bay on the Pacific Ocean, with miles of easily-accessible beaches. It's truly in the tropics, with palm trees and other exotic plants everywhere. Views across the bay are gorgeous, the sunsets are legendary, and the city lights at night are lovely from every vantage point.
What to do? Swimming (but note that some beaches have rough surf and undertows), working on your tan, eating and drinking at the wide variety of restaurants and clubs... and staying up late (or all night) to go dancing at the discos. Scuba diving, fishing, boating, and other water sports are available, as are golf courses and tennis courts. The shopping is great fun, though don't expect the best bargains in Mexico in this tourist-oriented city. Famous divers jump off extremely high cliffs into the sea at La Quebrada... that's something to watch, not to do! Most of all, Acapulco is a place to relax.
I've been to Acapulco both as a child and as an adult. Of course, the city has changed a lot; the quaint little motel just a block from the beach where we stayed when I was a kid is long gone, replaced with newer, taller buildings.
I adored the city as a child, and I continue to like its natural beauty and its beaches. Though it is now a huge city and very tourist-oriented, I still think Acapulco is an outstanding place for a beach vacation. The glittering celebrities are more likely to go to the newer resorts -- Cancun and others that were small towns or fishing ports when Acapulco was the rising star.
If you explore the central market and other places away from the obvious main tourist areas, you can get a real connection with the people. Many of the tourists nowadays are Mexican, and you can chat with them on the beach. Don't speak Spanish? No problem! Smiles go a long way, and many Mexicans know some English.
The weather in Acapulco is very nice all winter, hot and humid in the summer. Good thing the beach is there!

- About Cancun.
Summer all year... gorgeously turquoise ocean... sandy white beaches... shopping from Mexican handicrafts to designer clothes... stunning hotels with interesting architecture, many right on the beach... world-class restaurants... nightlife and dance clubs that go till early morning... Mayan ruins in the middle of it all... that's Cancun!
Water sports include swimming, surfing, diving, boating, fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. Day trips to Mayan archaeological sites offer you a glimpse of the fascinating civilization that was in the area for centuries.
No wonder Cancun is one of the most popular beach resorts in all of North and South America! With over three million visitors a year, the folks in Cancun have figured out how to provide what you want for a memorable vacation, whether it's total relaxation, going out dancing, water sports, enjoying spring break or a honeymoon, or whatever.
Cancun's history is short. In the early 1970s, the Mexican government had a study done to decide where to put a new resort. A little piece of land in the Caribbean sea, just off the coast of Yucatan, was chosen. It didn't take long before tourists were coming in ever-increasing numbers. Now Cancun (on the mainland just opposite that slip of land) has a population of something over half a million -- and the visitors keep coming!
Cancun is its own kind of place. It's hardly typical Mexico, but it's a lot of fun in its own way!

- Beautiful Mexico City.
Mexico City is the cultural epicenter of the country of Mexico. A visit to the Palacio Nacional opens your eyes to beautiful patios and halls decorated with murals, which portray Mexican history and culture. Known colloquially as D.F., the City of Mexico abounds in fascinating sites worth a look dating from yesteryears to the more modern and cosmopolitan.
A tour of Mexico City is enchanting for the simple reason that it has almost everything a visitor could aspire to experience. A lively culture, exquisite cuisine, world famous art, mariachi, traditional handicrafts, architecture and the omnipresent fiesta are the range of attractions that the city holds forth for the tourists. In addition, you can tire yourself shopping, trekking, visiting interesting museums, or entertaining yourself at theatres.
The Bosque de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Woods) and its surrounding green space is an interesting place to begin to get the feel of Mexico City. There are many museums to be found here, notable among them being the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Rufino Tamayo Museum, Museo de Arte Moderno and Papalote Nacional de Historia. However, the main attraction in the park, which will catch your eyes, is the Castillo de Chapultepec. Not very far is the La Feria, the citys oldest amusement park. Here, nestled among the woods, you can catch a glimpse of Los Pinos, the official residence of the President. You can also make a tour of the Auditorio Nacional, the auditorium where world famous performances are staged.
Enjoy all this and more while basking under the hospitality of Mexico City hotels where excellent services and facilities are assured to keep the guests happy and satisfied.

From the ancient architecture of Mexico City to the golden beaches of Pacific Mexico, Mexico is a country full of mystery, intrigue, natural beauty, history, and culture that is exclusive only to its walls. There are many different cities in Mexico that are frequently visited by tourists, and each has something completely different to offer its visitors.
The unique region of Baja Mexico is one of the most interesting and diverse geographical areas of the world and is still very much a frontier. The peninsula is home to some of the earth's most beautiful deserts, along with semi-tropical and mountainous regions, pine forests, and hundreds of miles of untouched beaches and coastline.
In Central Mexico, tourists can visit Mexico City, the nations capital. There you can appreciate the fascinating architecture of the aging buildings in the citys Historic Center, or you can visit the Basilica of Guadalupe and such popular neighborhoods as San Angel, Coyoacan and Xochimilco. The central region offers the tranquility of its numerous forests, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, springs and caverns, all of which provide ideal settings for rafting, rappelling, cave exploring, scuba diving, camping, rock climbing and nature observing.
The cities of Northern Mexico are a perfect blend of history, culture, and modernism. Theres Chihuahua City, home of Pancho Villas mansion. Then theres Hermosillo with its interesting blend of ancient and modern architecture. Next is Bahía Kino, Northern Mexicos largest coastal city. Here, tourists can engage in waterskiing, diving, fishing, swimming, and relaxing on and off the beautiful white-sand beaches. Finally, in Monterrey, you will find a well-organized city with a great deal of cultural attractions, both inside city limits and in the immediate surrounding area.
