Monarch Butterfly Reserve 19 – 20 January
I can’t say for certain where we are heading, other than on the map it’s marked as the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, no major towns near by, is probably 100km West of Mexico City. From Morelia we take the smaller roads East, driving is slow as we keep climbing, not only in altitude but […]
Urupan, 17- 18 January.
Volcanoes & buried villages at 2,500 meters. Hoping for a break from the heat we headed inland to the volcanic and avocado growing region of Urupan in search of the buried church we’d read about. Following advice, we took the toll roads for safety, and a break from topes, the 280 km cost 300 pesos […]

Costa Aquilla Jan 13 – 15

Winter time, so it’s dark till 7:30am, which does feel kinda odd in this heat, we are managing an 8:30am start. The cool morning air is more comfortable as the promise of heat […]
Topolombpo to Tokkiero, January 2nd – 14th.
Mainland Mexico, our first time here, we had heard it was very different from Baja and it is in every way, except for the same crazy drivers and never ending Tope’s. Arriving off the boat at 11pm, we spent the night parked up inside the port of Topolobampo, leaving at first light starting down the […]

As the sport of Kiteboarding grows, people from all over the world flock here for […]
