Travel to Mexico this Summer, Travel Photo Thursday
Early morning in Puerto Vallarta and people slowly start heading to work.
With a view like this, I wouldn’t mind cruising into the harbor either.
As we pass dozens of sail boats and larger tour boats, we realize that this area is humming with life- and not just from the engines. There are small groups of birds basking in the morning sun, fisherman all lined up on the rocks looking for the big catch and tourist scaling the sea wall for that perfect picture. Life in this resort town seems to be waking up and we notice that even though there is a lot of controversy surrounding vacationing in Mexico, this town doesn’t seem to be bothered.
Summertime is actually Mexico’s low season and I would highly suggest a visit during this time. The tour groups will be lower, the resorts will be cheaper but your experience will be just as rich. Push beyond the stereotypes, learn which areas are safe to travel to and allow yourself to explore this diverse culture.
What are your thoughts on traveling to Mexico?

Wow, it’s been years since I took a cruise down Mexico way. Wonder how safe it is these days.
Great photos
Travelling to Mexico – why not? Lots of interesting things to see.
Other than the border areas I would still travel to Mexico – but I’d still go in the winter for more moderate temperatures – and to leave the rain of Vancouver behind.
That looks like my type of place. Much prefer travelling to places out of season. So much more room to take in all around you.

i love that it is teeming with life – and that boat, it makes me happy! what fun photos.
I love the harbor view in the first pic. I only ever see these views on vacation, so they put me immediately in a vacation-mode
I’ve been to PV a couple of times but don’t recognize this area. It looks really modern. Cool shots!
Wonderful photos.
I often find that low season travel is the past. You miss the crowds, and usually prices are more affordable. This looks like a great spot.
I like the idea of summer in Mexico for saving money, but I hate the heat. Is it bearable?
I say, “Go, go, go!” Haven’t been to Mexico in a while, but would love to go back there. Some great memories in Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and Los Cabos!
It looks a little bit like Malta…my home country…I can’t way to go visit in July!!
