Uxmal archaeological zone and is known throughout the world because some of its constructs have been promoted as symbols of the Mayan ruins, so for example, the temple or pyramid of "guess" that has UNPOC rounded corners, appears in many images that refer to the Mayan region of southeastern Mexico.The area as the rest of the peninsula and the area of yucatanica Peten in Guatemala, is beautiful and huge, it took many days, weeks, to visit some of the places have been opening up the public, and even longer if want to know some that are still neglected by idustria tourism.regrettable, extremely unfortunate from my point of view, is that when taken as a tourist targets is degraded much of its value as a basis for understanding a culture and a past, so, for example, shows that pretend to hoodwink televiseros tourists I refer now to the sound and light show, make these places in television spots as frivolous and superficial as travel packages that promise to visit 10 areas in 5 days by paying a few dollars.If you can, go on your own, find out how to do it, take the time to explore and learn at the same time travelers who are in the head rather than spots travel agency, find fascinating things ..

MONTERREY, CASINO ROYALE

2011-08-26T22:01:00.001-07:00

After the events that took place at Casino Royale in Monterrey, not just the press, as always, has been getting flight information such as spots and repeating ever since the day yesterday, one spot of the presidency of the republic repeats words of Felipe Calderon, also the day yesterday, one of his colleagues and manager of advertising, or advertising, which takes place in public safety, gave a press conference using the language of the sellers of melodrama mixed with stereotypical Mexican soap operas. The president did the same, and from days before had been defending the role of the army and criticizing those who question the presence of it in the streets. Today is overwhelming the number of spots being played in the media, for example, in the course of 15 minutes while driving through the streets of the city, the car radio played at least 6 times Calderon's voice talking about is doing about security. On the other hand, precisely in the middle of the campaign to approve the security law that would give sweeping powers to both the executive and the armed forces, law widely criticized by human rights organizations, the President raised the term "terrorism", the way to a new product is labeled "lights", "healthy," natural "eco", etc.. and from now on, will be there the idea launched by the government that the war against drugs, will be a war on terror .. Sound familiar with it? .. We said in the campaign to pass the law cuestionadisima security, are these "opportunities" to show how "essential" is such a law, not what way?, so things seem that these acts of "terrorism" the only one that clearly benefit is precisely who would urge is approved a law that controls all social revolt, either of "narco terrorists" .. or social activists, protest movements, political opposition, and so on. Indeed, it is safe, not only because they say the polls, which are certainly not very reliable, but because it is perceived by talking to people, who would win the elections next year, the PAN, and history has shown that when a far-right group comes to power, does not leave peacefully, then that security law could serve perfectly to ensure control over Mexican society is time to impose by force, a force that is already in use, it has been used several years against different manifestacioones of disagreement, however, if required to pass any law, especially with the characteristics of the question, because it provides for the use of means overtly really brutal in breach of the provisions of the constitution . I fear that we are probably at the door of fascism episode cynical feared that seen in more than one occasion in various countries ..

CLARIFICATION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE BLOG

2011-08-14T18:44:00.000-07:00

We put this disclaimer in this space because lately we have included information not strictly related to the sites for the traveler on his journey through the country, not merely due to criteria "cultural" within the meaning of folklore as some of our visitors might look attractive, and unfortunately due to circumstances in the country, the acts of extreme violence and corruption requires us to publish certain information that we believe very important for people who live in Mexico but, in addition to those who want a little closer to the reality of the country, furthermore, we believe that much of this information as it relates to security in various areas may be of importance for the traveler in transit through the territory.Some of the people who make us the favor of visiting, we have sent comments questioned because very often we are presenting information from the political sphere, and we send our response and now write to all our visitors here. The thing is, we think, as we said above, the information related to violence and political reality of the country we think is very important for visitors, for those who want to approach the Mexican reality, not only because knowing the insecurity and pockets of violence can help avoid problems that may even pose a threat to life itself, but also, what is happening now in Mexico is part of their culture, not something that spontaneously came from another site is not "evil" as we often fell on the media present, is a phenomenon that is the result of several variables that have been developed in the country and now are showing their consequences and that we believe should be find, analyze and explain if we care to know what is the culture of this country. Violence and decomposition in the country today, not only takes lives, which clearly is no small thing, but in addition, we believe, this inevitably affect some of the cultural forms that were not only curious and significant, but it was really treasures people's cultural, as well as in the cas of biodiversity tragically some species disappear and with them have a huge wealth in terms of biological evolution, so when certain cultural practices disappear, certain habits, certain traditions generated over many many generations, is tragic, very tragic. Violence and corruption of a system has been destroying the social fabric of relations between individuals, social groups and between the imaginary past and present, between heredity and the present life, between good and evil, between what is acceptable and unacceptable for a town. Lamentabilisimo, but even if it takes its place, if this is possible, is the cultural barbarism, the culture of power, money and ultimately violence, not only as a means for this, but for many, as a way of being, a way to fill the huge gap has opened a civilization in populations for decades. In short, we expect our readers to share this concern and continue to find things of interest in this site ..

MEXICO STATE POLICE ASSAULT IN MEXICO CITY HOMES

2011-08-12T11:01:00.000-07:00

As we have discussed elsewhere in this site, you must have a great precacucion in Mexico as the routes of violence are many. Yesterday, the Mexico State Police assault houses in southern Mexico City, and probably would not have known this if it were not one of the houses is the poet Efrain Bartolme who s known among the l Jan writers and journalists so as well, thus the issue aired. What happens when a stranger, citizen journalists now call "ordinary", ie anybody else?, Peus nothing happens abuse and nobody notices, and if there is a problem wounded, dead because the news will come out like that "struck" a delincuente.Esto happening in Mexico. Take extreme caution if you visit the country.Returning to the issue of assaults on police, said the state prosecutor in Mexico it was them, but the poet claims to have been vexed PFP stands in uniform, and obviously I give the credit to the poet and not dirty or officials criminal police, entered three houses in the south of the city, without warrant, breaking wings 3 in the morning, cursing, abusing, destroying, stealing, and left. Will we continue believing them stories that television sells us?

however, the continued terrible. Yesterday Mietres sought information about the event in newspapers, I found a note in the newspaper El Universal, and after reading the note did not give much information to the forum I went to read the comments to see if there was something else by someone in the reading public. Might say, although it is known that there are police and military writing in the forums to "equalize" the opinion, the day yesterday, at least half of the written opinions in the forum, maybe more, tried to discredit the complaint Efrain Bartolome complaint doubting that it happened, I repeat, nu was a person, if any, was more than half of the forumers, of course, as I said earlier, there were police personnel and soldiers in the forum, clearly note the kind of reasoning and education they have, but there were also ordinary people, population, at least do not mind what happens, is not it really scary?, when a company or an important part of this is full of fear of frustration, ignorance, but also vilencia and the rest is trying not to look, all while a group gets rich oligarch, you can not expect a future beneficial for society, in fact, what appears at the door is the terror of fascism ..

POET EFRAIN BARTOLOME AND HIS FAMILY ATTACKED BY POLICE IN HIS HOUSE

2011-08-11T21:23:00.000-07:00

People dressed in black uniforms with the initials and PFP, this morning raided the house of the poet Efrain Bartolome in the south of the city, as a neighboring university researcher. With violence breaking broke into her home and stealing other objects, the alleged reason was the search for weapons. After threatening the life of poet and his family, retired. The poet said in a radio interview that even when I call the City police never showed up. While not claim to have tried to police, says that they saw the uniforms of the letters PFP. Thus they were police or not, the matter is that never won the support of city authorities, leaving it to his takes on such risky situation. Why would a man of letters and a university researcher to have weapons at home? Or because they used this pretext to intimidate?, In what mind can construct an argument like this?.Imagine, if this happens to a writer who will be happening to millions of citizens who have no way to make known to the public what happens to them?, How long the people of this country allow us to continue to plunder, killing and officials humiliating criminals or not?, are we turning the gaze away on the grounds of our own with us ocupacioens while someone else is humiliated? ..

MEXICAN TV SPEAKERS

2011-07-26T13:17:00.000-07:00

the previous days, comets and readers of news channels Mexicans took note of the killings in Norway to sell their emissions, some check some data on the network, others not even that, just repeating what others like them commented before. But the most shameful, is that since the focus was given to report racist attack the character who was arrested was connected not only with extreme right groups but there was also the racist undertones in their actions, characters mecioandos Mexican television, not knowing a lot because people are generally very ignorant, just enough to hear a transmission for a few minutes to check it out, have been torn, or tried to rip the clothes by the racism that exists in countries of Europe, which by definition would not remains true and known, it's unfortunate from my point of view, is that they do when they live in a country grossly racist and classist, and that they work and earn money as part of commercial entities that exploit those attitudes. Broadcasters have a great responsibility in the Mexican population continue making a mockery of certain characteristics that identify people as "black" and "India", "naca", "poor", "fucking" and so on. However, there are, beating their breasts when they normally belong to the elite of Mexican society that receives all recuersos are immorally taken from the majority of the population that receives little education and is sacked by the groups in power , of which the television industry is imporant component ..

Today did a bus tour of the Mexican team or sub sub-17 is not that quein won the tournament yesterday. It was enough to turn on the TV or radio for five minutes the amount of crap unbeatable seafront that people can tell the media to continue their business. And after the bombing of the media and mired in a terrible situation of corruption and crime, the population explodes almost patriotic fervor neurosis exorbitant, it's like at the time, painted the flag-draped face showed almost violently, and sometimes with great violence actually accomplish something among the many things that frustrated every day, such as welfare, justice, respect for life itself, even if that something is a triumph of futobol team, which is nothing other than a best seller by the television and the people who get paid a salary for speech in a microphone ..

The island was probably and according to archeological versions, a place dedicated to Ixchel, Mayan deity connected with fertility and femininity of course, after the conquest, the island was used by pirates and slave traders and is now trying to get the largest possible gain selling it as a haven for ecotourism, which if true and discussed at the beginning is that in terms of natural landscape is impressive.

Pre-Hispanic only remains a beacon, or what was a possible light at the southern tip of the island.

LEVEL OF DANGER: The area in general does not have a very high level of risk compared with other parts of the country, however we will have to observe the precautions taken in highly touristic places like Cancun.

XEL-HA

2011-04-25T16:38:00.000-07:00

Xel Ha is a outlet creek to the sea in the state of Quintana Roo. The site is a marvel of nature, a beautiful place to see several species in their natural habitat. The site is located about 120 km from Cancun, so we could get from the latter by bus in just over an hour.

ESPIRITU SANTO, BAJA CALIFORNIA

2011-04-22T18:54:00.000-07:00

On the coast of Baja California, there are many landscapes contrasting the desert and the sea, the zone is an area of outstanding natural beauty, one of these sites is the island of Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately it is a little expensive to move from the center and south of the country, since the distance is great and you have to cross the peninsula by ferry, without emabrgo, if you arrive from the U.S. border is much easy. In this part of the coast as well as in other parts of the peninsula you can see whales, sea lions and other animals that are rarely seen elsewhere in the country. The local transportation as well as lodging and food tend to be somewhat expensive since in many cases is paid based on the dollar.

Level: There is risk to the visitor if they pass roads of northern country, besides that of the area are drug transportation routes, it should be great caution.

2011-04-22T18:50:00.000-07:00

According to information published in direfentes media and also from the statements of the Italian journalist Giovanni Proiettis, their expulsion from Mexico is completely arbitrary and can be explained only by the authoritarian and illegal practices of the federal government. The journalist was a professor at a university in the state of Chiapas and worked for various Italian media. I was 18 years living in Mexico and in less than 12 hours was deported after being arrested by agents of the National Migration Institute (INM), the same institution that has received so many complaints about the violation of human rights by as well as agents of colluding with criminal gangs to kidnap, abusing and murdering migrants

HOLY WEEK IN IZTAPALAPA, MEXICO CITY

2011-04-20T19:13:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday began the representation of the Passion of Christ in Iztapalapa, a demarcation within the Federal District and has become famous for the size of the assembly and the number of attendees numbering in several million over the week.

All around is a vintage, food, drinks, souvenirs, gifts, etc.. However, if it attends, and is interesting to do at least once, the harder it will be close enough to look closely at the actors who are chosen from the locals. The number of publications will be so vast that we will have to settle for looking at spending a few characters from a distance or see how they progressed as the day you visit.

Can be reached by subway or microbus from several lines. It's simple

Level: In the area of representation tends to be plenty of police of the capital, and precisely because so many people as public, it is very likely a greater violence, theft only about shooting, but caution must be taken for any contingency and that due to the mass of people can affect crushing or suffocation, I mean an accident that create panic and human overflow.

According to the analysis of this institution, the items identified are directly related with the routes that are used to cross Mexico on their way to the U.S. border.

For all people who attempt to cross the country, legally and even more so without the intention of reaching the U.S., are reminded that the threat not only gangs and drug traffickers who kidnap and murder extortion migrants, but also and most especially by collaborating with the former, are the agents of the INM (National Migration Institute) it is well known and fully documented their participation in the crimes and criminals that affect migrants.

ACAPULCO

2011-04-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

Acapulco is one of the most tourist sites in Mexico, was developed in the late 50's, as part of the Government's tourism policy with the private sector, was like many other centers in the country, for vacationers class upper middle and high, so the only interest was the uptake of e s visitors to stop economic resources. Right now a great stop for visitors are nationals and Americans, but for his promotion and fame tourists come from around the world. It is a place with an extraordinarily rich natural beauty but on the contrary due to overexploitation and abuse, is a highly polluted and expensive where night-offer fun for people who do not mind throwing money away. Not a place I recoendaria at all.

Can be reached directly by plane, bus and highway, which incidentally is one of the most expensive in the country.

Level: In recent months it has become a very high risk site for visitors because there are struggles for territory between drug gangs. It is common journalistic notes that both performances are presented in the commercial area and in surrounding the same way as access roads.

With the nuclear catastrophe due to the earthquake in Japan, all the countries with nuclear plants should be reviewing seriously the real advantages of such energy source and ponder the fatal risk for the population of country and the world in general. In Mexico, there two nuclear plants working in the coast of Veracruz, some 300 kilometers from Mexico City, obviously the argument to install them were as usual, the low cost of the energy obtained from them, the how clean can be, etc... Well, since some years ago all we have seen how clean and safe it can be, after Chernobyl and the other accidents in USA plants only perverse politicians linked directly to business or corrupted by big money could sustain such "arguments". Now, after Japan..hardly we could say "after" since it has not finished yet..we can watch what can happen in a society which is not famous because its irresponsibility, thus it´s not hard to imagine what could happen in a country like Mexico where politicians steal money in front of their voters, police assaults and judges make extralegal business. What could happen in a country like Mexico and in the rest of the world if the companies and their politicians insist in work with such monsters?
