When our expensive but comfy bus rolled into Guanajuato from Guadalajara, we were a little let down by the initial view. The city, known for its UNESCO status and rave reviews, didn’t impress us right away. From the bus, we couldn’t spot any intriguing buildings, historical landmarks, or anything remotely attractive. Wondering why we had made this trip, we got off the bus and switched to local transport to head into town. The small bus climbed up the mountainside, and after about 20 minutes, colorful square buildings appeared out of nowhere. We entered an underground tunnel and were instructed to…

My favorite spots were Manchones Reef, known for its abundant marine life, and Pilus, famous for its many caves and swim-throughs. Isla Mujeres lies alongside the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest coral shelf in the world. The coral here is incredibly…
