Easiest to view by hiking up from El Rosario village. November - Feb. Why Travel to Mexico? Mexico is a multifaceted tourist paradise, with landscapes of every description, from wild deserts to monstrous mountains, superb beaches ranging from action-packed sand to stretches devoid of packaged life forms, chart-topping ancient Maya sites, wild and colourful festivals, wild and colourful wildlife, terrific weather if you get your timing right, excellent public transport systems, excellent undersea life on one coast and great surfing on the other, good food and booze, pleasant colonial towns, and all at a very reasonable price. Downside: - It's perhaps not quite as colourful as the myth of Mexico might suggest. It's a big country so some towns and landscapes can be dull. - Banditry and thievery are not a myth. - Handicraft quality has gone down the tubes. - Worst of all many Mexicans are resolutely uncommunicative [unless you've got $ in your hand] and taxi drivers in particular are a disgrace. However! Good handicrafts and people seem to have travelled out to the coastal resorts...try Mexico City and find out why! Where to travel in Mexico: *** Chichen Itza. A sensational Maya pyramid and many other strange and interesting structures in large expanse of greenery. Stay 2 nights nearby and do it properly. ***Oaxaca, a relaxed, pretty town with a lovely main square and the ancient Zapotec site of Monte Alban nearby. A great location for Dia de los Muertos festivities. **Merida , another pleasant colonial town, with agreeable daily free concerts and dance, good restaurants. A couple of days? Not too far from Uxmal. ***Uxmal, a good warmup for Chichen Itza: a pleasing and unusually rounded pyramid with other varied Maya buildings. A day trip. ***Palenque , a really wild Maya place; terrific but difficult to get to. Small plane, [new train line?] or looong bus travel. **Playa del Carmen [near Cancun] for a cool, casual beach scene and excellent bars/restaurants/shops. Also the Pacific Coast, from **Puerto Vallarta to **Puerto Escondido has great beaches and facilities. *Cancun for 5 star beaches with little culture. **Acapulco , a lively 20 mile bay of beaches, bars and hotels that has entertained Elvis, Sinatra and Kerouac but still has space for budget travellers. A bit brash and busy, but quiet spots survive, as do most of the famous [45m/148ft] cliff divers at La Quebrada. **Mexico City. Visit excellent museums, see superb murals at the Palacio Nacional, and frolic in the Zocalo. Also day trips out to : The grand Teotihuacan pyramids, and the 'living colonial museum' of Puebla. **Barranca [Canyon] del Cobre. A stunning 6 hour train ride from Los Mochis on the Pacific coast up the mountains to Divisadero or Creel drops you on the edge of Mexico's Copper Canyon. Good hiking but trails are not well marked. Travel Safety: Mexico City and some large towns endure fairly high levels of crime, most of it petty, but armed robbery and even rape is not unknown. As usual take special care in busy places like bus and metro stations, when using ATMs and at night. Green taxis are better avoided if possible as they have been implicated in serious assaults.

Diseases you should be concerned about, at least, are T yphoid [get a jab], Hepatitis A and B [get a jab], Hepatitis B, C,D [take care what you eat, drink, or who you share fluids with, blood included], and dengue fever and malaria , both acquired from mosquitoes .

Chicago Vacation Rental Just

Chicago Vacations - Vacation Rental House Chicago Vacations Property Owners Join us VRBO ® is Vacation Rentals by Owner ® Home USA Illinois Chicago Edit Vacation Rentals by Owner Listing #59723 Chicago Guest House 4BR on Lakewood Ave - Lakeview Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA Accommodations: Vacation Rental House - 4 Bedrooms - 2 Baths - (Sleeps 6-8) Photo 1 - Chicago Vacation Rental Just five miles North of downtown Chicago, you will find the Lakewood Guest House, a stately, three-story Greystone with two separate, three and four bedroom apartments. The home is located in Lakeview, one of Chicago's hottest neighborhoods! It is here that you will enjoy a wide variety of culturally diverse restaurants, live performances at one of our Landmark theaters, and spending the day shopping the countless array of unique boutiques and galleries. And, let us not forget, Lakeview is home to our beloved Cubs. Nothing beats a Cubs game and one (or two) of those famous Chicago dogs! No matter what your taste or interest, you will find it right here in Lakeview. Though it is quite possible you may never want to leave the neighborhood, it would be a shame to miss out on all the city has to offer. Most of Chicago's attractions are only moments away and getting around could not be easier. Taxis are plentiful, the EL train is only a few blocks away and, of course, there is always walking! By far the best way to see the city; if you are up to the challenge, that is. I hope you will come and see for yourself what makes the Lakewood Guest House the ideal place for you, your family and friends; nowhere will you feel more at home!
