Art Destinations Arts/Culture Wanderlust

Driving four hours from Oaxaca to Puebla, you can fully appreciate the beauty and enormity of the Sierra Madre Mountain range that surrounds both the city and state of Puebla, (6000 ft. above sea level). There are probably very few cities that can boast about the abundance and the grandeur

During my stay in Puebla, I came across a craft that I have seen many times in my travels in Spain and Mexico, but knew very little of its origin and production. The “Talavera”, as it is called, is an artisanal technique of pottery and tile making that uses a

There are certain times during the year that you may want to visit the city of Oaxaca (although most anytime would be good). December is clearly one of those seasons.

The Power of Art in Transforming Communities

January 14, 2024

Serving Humanity

Art is an universal language that engages us to reflect, learn and be inspired by its presence in whatever form. Therefore, it is not surprising that art universally has been a catalyst for the revitalization of downtown districts, neighborhoods, and commercial corridors. There are tons of examples of how art

Spending 25 Days in the Historic City of Campeche, MX

My Photography Wanderlust

It was time to move on from Merida to the next city, heading two hours southwest to the historic city of Campeche. A city that reminds me so much of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, where my parents were born. The similarity is mostly in its architecture, narrow sidewalks, cobblestone

I knew during my stay in Merida, Mexico, I would tour the pyramids of Chichén Itzá as I failed to do so last year when I first visited this city. By chance, I was not aware when I booked the tour for Saturday, October 14th, 2023 that there would be
