Busing it from the Beach in Mexico

It's a lamentable fact that out of the thousands of Canadians who vacation in Mexico every year only a tiny percentage venture beyond the tropical resort areas. This is understandable given that most Canadians visit Mexico to escape our cold winters, but it doesn't do the country justice. Mexico has so much more to offer travelers than beautiful beaches -- handsome Spanish colonial towns, magical archaeological sites, awe-inspiring landscapes, and some of the world's most hospitable people.

One way to explore the treasures that lie beyond the beach is to take advantage of Mexico's modern bus system. Travelling by bus is comfortable and inexpensive, plus you can go just about anywhere in the country. On my first trip to Mexico over 25 years ago, I took a side trip by bus from Puerto Vallarta to the city of Guadalajara, a journey that paved the way to more return visits to Mexico than I can remember.
