Paradise Magazine - Reloaded!

December 10th, 2009    

Paradise Magazine 

Finaly! A dear friend, Carlos Juvera, has published his discontinued magazine again: Paradise Magazine. It is a free modern magazine about Mexican culture, cuisine, beaches, beauty, nature, art, history and so much more.

The independent magazine focuses on many things, places and stuff that you don’t find in many magazines circulating the Bay of Banderas. Even though it’s focused mainly on Puerto Vallarta and its surroundings, it is about Paradise in Mexico. The official website can be found at www.paradisemagazine.net and to read the full online version you can click here.

We wish him and his magazine the best and hope that it will stay around for a very long time.

Jardin Del Tuito 

If you have never been to El Tuito before, now you have more than one reason to go! In middle of this small town, located an hour south of Puerto Vallarta, you will find a jewel of hotel. Their new website just launched today at www.hotelboutiquevallarta.com and will show you every little aspect of this charming home with three original suites.

What´s so special about this hotel? Well… besides the great decoration, lovely hosts and artistic details, this hotel has indeed a little bit of France in Mexico. You will discover that every suite is unique and pays tribute to famous areas in France, such as The Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and Notre Dame. They offer a great swimming pool, garden and art. Relaxation is guaranteed!

Just a few minutes to the south of Puerto Vallarta you will find desert beaches, tiny villages and tons of untouched tropical nature. In the picture below you can see a panorama of Yelapa, a tiny fishing village.

San Pancho es una miniatura de pueblo, casi casi uno puede pensar que es un pueblo fantasma. La plaza principal no tenía ni un alma presente. Poco después de llegar a la playa ya ví porque: Esta preciosa la playa de San Pancho. Nos fuimos al restaurante El Brujo, era muy bonito y calmado. Que mal que la ley mexicana prohíbe la venta de alcohol cuando hay elecciones (ni a los extranjeros les venden) lo cual es muy curioso ya que los días antes de la elección todo mundo compra toneladas de alcohol! Así que no es ilegal emborracharse hasta el gorro, mientras no intercambies dinero por alcohol. Ahora ya sabemos ;)

San Pancho is a miniature town, you could almost think it’s abandoned. The main plaza had not one single soul near it. But shortly after arriving at the beach I could understand why: The beach is BEAUTIFUL. The few souls that are at the beach you could count on one hand. We sat at El Brujo restaurant, it was very nice and quiet. Too bad Mexican Law prohibits the sale of any alcoholic drink (even to foreigners) when there’s election day, which is kinda weird since everybody buys tons of alcohol the day before, so it’s not illegal to get really drunk but you can’t purchase this Good. Now we know ;)

Una de las cosas de las que quizá no escuches mucho es el avistamiento de aves aqui en Puerto Vallarta. Hay algunos tours de avistamiento de aves donde podrás encontrar diferentes especies como:

Garzas nocturnas, Avocetas, Tildíos, Martines pescadores, Chipes, Semilleritos, Carpinteros, Cuclillos, Orioles y muchos más.

No hemos participado en uno de los tours de avistamiento de aves, pero en cuanto lo hagamos, postearemos un articulo con fotos y hasta entonces les mostramos las fotos que tomamos en una playa cerca de Bucerías.

Herons, Egrets, Avocets, Sandpipers, Kingfishers, Rufous-capped Warbler, Orange-Breasted Bunting, Gray-Crowned Woodpecker, San Blas Jay, Rusty-Crowned Ground Sparrow, Russet-Crowned Motmot and many more.
