The insular areas (islands, islets, and rocks), of the Gulf of California, represent approximately 50% of the insular territory of Mexico and in this route you will be able to know the most important ones for Sinaloa, the ones that are located in front of the port of Mazatlan. On board of a high-speed semi-rigid boat we will cross the bay while discovering different islands, islets, rocks and beaches that give us the perfect opportunity to take an amazing photograph while our expert guides share the history, geology and life of each one. During our tour we will be accompanied by different types of birds - gulls, frigates, ducks, among many other species, as well as dolphins, turtles and with a bit of luck stingrays. This tour is like a carnival of marine life!

The Lighthouse or Faro in Punta Cancun is a must-see landmark while on vacation in Cancun and a great photography opportunity for breathtaking views of the Caribbean Ocean. I am a professional photographer living in Cancun for the past 15 years and I know the best views and locations for photos. The walk is a 10-minutes long through beautiful sandy beach scenery, a little hike of rocks and walking under bridges and decks. Once we arrive to the Lighthouse, I will take amazing photos from different angles and the best picturesque scenery. Afterward, you can sit, relax and stay to enjoy the view! Better than a guide, I will be your new local friend in Cancun and help you discover the very best this city has to offer! Message me for private tours and other unique sites

Inclusions: Guided walk to the Lighthouse, Professional photography session, 25 high resolution images delivered via internet download, Bottled water

Exclusions: Bring outfits, hats, glasses, etc. Wear relax shoes, that is better for you for different photos., Bring a Towel or Blanket

We were disappointed in this tour, inasmuch as many of the places that were on the itinerary -- two museums and the national theater -- were closed. And they've been closed for a long time due to Covid. Our tour guide said, "we'll need to cut the tour short"...we suggested we visit a winery on the way back, but this came from us not him. The guide himself was knowledgeable about the history of the location, which is why this isn't a 2-star, but the owner, Jesus, should either have not booked us on the tour at all or at least informed us that after a one-hour+ drive many of the destinations would be unavailable.

It is an experience that mixes tourism and art throughout San Miguel de Allende where we meet artists in their own workshops where they do painting, sculpture, textile art, Mexican folk art and more styles. The artists receive us and tell us about their creative processes (techniques, inspiration, etc.) while we have a glass of wine and eat tapas, the tour can be personalized and private or in a group.

Inclusions: wine and tapas included, Private transportation

Exclusions: Gratuities

This was a great tour I would definitely recommend it if you are an art lover/collector visiting San Miguel de Allende. We were on a short trip over new year to this fabulous place, Arturo agreed to take us out on New Year’s Eve to visit four different artists. He collected us from our hotel and drove us out into several areas of the city to meet 2 painters and 2 sculptors in their homes or studios. Just visiting these different areas which you wouldn’t normally have access to was an experience in it self. Arturo spoke good English and gave us a background history into art in the city and of the artists we were meeting. I own an art gallery based in the UK and was really surprised how strong all four of these artists were. They had all spent years developing their own practice, techniques and it was fascinating hearing each artists talk about what inspired their work. We did purchase a couple of pieces and could easily have bought from any of the artists we visited. We will definitely be visiting some other of Arturo’s artist/galleries when we return to SMA.
