Hello photo lovers!
And once again we return to Mexico, this is the last post and so we are going to end in a more relaxed, more natural way. No more long walks to an ancient temple, no more intense walks around the city, visiting different and interesting areas of the country's capital, and no more monuments, museums and pyramids. Now it's time for some relaxation and nature.
Sightseeing can tire us, because we want to see many things in a short time, here in seven different posts I have wanted to share some, but I know that others are missing, because I did not have time to see other wonderful places like the Riviera Maya on the Atlantic coast where the tourist Cancun and where those other pyramids of Mayan culture are located.
There is also another tourist area of beaches on the Pacific coast, Acapulco, very full of people and hotels but just a little further north, then we decided to change course to discover other beaches, another quieter but amazing place, to spend those last Mexican days in...
Itxapa-Zihuatanejo
It is another beach area but where you don't see as much urban planning or uncontrolled tourism, there is more local tourism perhaps or another that prefers greater tranquility. You feel nature alive around you.
Although it is not so easy to get there because when you land you first go to Zihuatanejo location, but from there we arrived by car (rented) almost at night through a kind of jungle, and it seems that we actually arrived in paradise.
In front of the immense Pacific Ocean everything was horizon. A powerful, rough and too intense sea did not invite us to swim so much at that time, the wind was present and when we turned around the palm trees moved, swaying gently, something they probably did on many days.
An almost deserted place, a wild beach and a wonderful feeling of natural solitude. You could turn around and only see the sea, the lush vegetation and in between the sand rising into the air. There was nothing and no one else.
Just in some space a wood open cabin with fresh fruit and surprise! also some horses. There is more life, in a place where life exploded in a unique and natural way.
An almost tropical setting, from a pirate movie, where you end up lost after a shipwreck but in reality it was nothing like that. It was a lively and natural place where the camera could almost capture time itself, that wind and the essence of that almost isolated but real place.
Everything is real, not a dream. Although at the moment of going to rest is when we realize it, swinging in the hammock like the palm trees in the wind.
A small hotel refuge that reminds us that civilization is also there, but in its right measure, in a more harmonious and integrated way with the entire natural world that surrounds us.
And from there just a few meters away we can observe again, but under the frame a palm leaf that stunning wild beach.
But the stories end, and we have to think about returning but not abruptly, first better to go back to the most habited area, to Zihuatanejo urban area because there we see more hotels and resorts, larger complexes facing other wide and pleasant beaches that despite that more touristy environment still has that natural essence, where the movement of the sea is also intense and where the palm trees also accompany us while we relax, swim in the pool and observe the beautiful landscape of that part of paradise.
And from the wild Mexican paradise I greet you and end with this series of eight posts about a fascinating country, Mexico, full of beauty, art, culture, history, good food and good people and also nature, wonderful wild beaches like these.
