A slew of boats rest on the serene playa in Akumal, Mexico. I walked along the water’s edge taking photos of the boats just as the sun was setting behind me. It is one of my favorite beaches in the Mayan Riviera.
Category Archives: Riviera Maya In my last post, I shared Part One of my expedition through the Yucatan jungles of Mexico with a group of explorers who are huge aficionados of Maya ruins. As I mentioned in the post, our goal was to retrace and locate some of the Mayan ruins that were documented by the French explorer Michel Peissel in his 1963 book […]
 A handmade arch made from dried tree branches welcomes all to this fabulous beach way down in Sian Ka’an, México. This little spot is in a remote part of the country with no electricity, no paved roads and the occasional jaguar still roaming around. I actually prefer that over a crowded, tourist packed beach with […]
 After the tourists leave for the day and the turtles swim away, all that is left in Akumal are a few boats in the water, a few lights in town and the spectacular colors of the sky. Click photo for a big surprise
 On my recent visit to Akumal in the Mayan Riviera, I would wake up before sunrise every day to try and get a nice shot. I was not having very much luck as most days it was either raining or very hazy. It wasn’t until my final day when all the elements finally came together […]

 I had the great pleasure of being part of an expedition through the Yucatan jungles of Mexico with a group of explorers who love searching for obscure Mayan ruins. They are all a modern day version of Indiana Jones, but with iPhones. Now, I will never claim to know as much about Mayan history as […]
 I’ll be heading down here this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing some old friends, meeting new friends, and enjoying beautiful nights like this one under the moonlight sky. Click photo for a big surprise
 One of the prettiest beaches you will find is in Akumal, México. Last time I was there I encountered this beauty enjoying the clear blue waters. I was taking pics of the boats and she kept walking into my shot. Hmmm, maybe she was trying to tell me something… Click photo for a big surprise
 No, that is not a sunset, it’s actually the Blood Moon. It settled itself perfectly in between the Portal Maya sculpture on the beach in Playa del Carmen. I’ve never seen so many cameras going off at once. I think I took about 50 photos myself. This one was my favorite. Click photo for a […]
