Hidalgo Travel Blogs

Background: The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.

Tula, HIDALGO. North America » Mexico » Hidalgo » Tula
Tepic, Nayarit, a 30 de noviembre del 2009. Saludos otra vez. Ahì van unas fotos del sitio arqueològico de Tula, Hidalgo, hogar de los famosìsimos "atlantes" (se supone que les dicen asì por un arma "atlatl", no porque vengan de la mìtica Atlàntida), que en realidad eran las columnas de un techo y no estaban expuestos a la vista del pùblico medieval. Tula probablemente fue la capital de los toltecas, y fue heredera de la famosìsima Teotihuacàn (aquèlla fue la nueva potencia en la regiòn cuando èsta quedò en el olvido). Para hacer màs interesante el asunto, segùn la info [View Full Entry]

Well, I guess I can say that the countdown is officially on 6 days until I leave Toronto and go on a month long adventure! We wrapped up work on Friday, and it was quite sad, cleaning out the office and saying our goodbyes. It was quite bittersweet as I loved my job and the people I worked with but there was a sort of relief to realize that the 6 months of transition were over, and we could all begin to move on to bigger and better things (hopefully!!). Before I take the next steps in my career, I am [View Full Entry]

Here I am in Mexico! Woop! Getting to Tula took an epic 24 hours in total, with about 11 hours on the plane which was not too much fun and took us a couple of days to recover from. Navigating customs and immigration was a bit of a mission with about 6 pieces of paper, our passports and visas each and a queue about a mile long. Obviously most of them were wrong so we got sent back to try again. Jose-Luis, the GAP rep here met us and took us to his hometown Tula where we stayed in a hotel [View Full Entry]

Pachuca North America » Mexico » Hidalgo » Pachuca
In Mexico, Pachuca is known for soccer as it was the gateway through which futbol/soccer entered Mexico, introduced in the 19th century by miners from Cornwall, England. Pachuga just recently won the South American Cup and the Mexican Title as well. While the Mexican Title is a great one to have, in Carlos' family it only counts when the team America wins. Carlos, on the other hand was happy that Pachuca won because that means America didn't win. He is a fan of Chivas. We started the day at the Cristo Rey monument, which is ONE OF the best vistas/ [View Full Entry]

This was our second stop of our weekend trip, Real del Monte (de Mineral or Mineral de Monte back in the day and with the nickname "El Real"). My Lonely Planet book doesn't give this small town enough credit. This is one of the best reasons to travel with locals because they take you to the hidden gems of their country. It is worth a visit. Even the website states the truth, Pueblos Magicos/Magical Towns. I did just find a website address for the town http://www.el-real.com. Real del Monte is a very small town approx. 2 hours outside of Mexico [View Full Entry]

El Zirco North America » Mexico » Hidalgo » Pachuca
Has anybody ever composed a list of the dumbest themed bars in the world? That would surely put Pachuca, Hidalgo on the map. Last night we went to Zirco, a circus themed bar. I wonder who thought that would be a good idea. But the circus bar that we went to was not the one I knew about, there is another fucking circus bar in Pachuca. In a city that has 300,000 people there are two circus themed bars. Pachuca has the most circus themed bars per capita of any city in the world (consult wikipedia.) When I got there [View Full Entry]

Well, I thought that I had posted another travel blog a while ago, but i was wrong, I am sorry. What can I say. You can all yell at me another time. For the time being, enjoy this one. Well this all begins on All Saints Day, also known as November 1. After school, I hopped a bus to a town called Pátzcuaro. Pátzcuaro is a town in the state of Michoacan, about 35 or 40 minutes from the state capital of Morelia. Morelia is about 4 hours from Mexico City, with no traffic. This is also a funny concept, [View Full Entry]
