Welcome to Los Pinos
Welcome to the ex office and home of the all presidents of Mexico between the years of 1934 and 2018- Los Pinos!
Check out our Complete Guide to Los Pinos blog post:
TIPS FOR VISITING Los Pinos
♦ Arrive early, around 9:30AM-9:45AM to avoid the crowds.
♦ Bring a camera!
♦ We walked around 10,000 steps just throughout the property so plan to wear comfortable shoes for lots of walking.
♦ There is no food or drinks anywhere around here. I did see a few water fountains around the property, but not much else anywhere near.
♦ You can plan to spend about two hours wandering through the grounds.
Feel free to email us at kinetickennons@gmail.com if you have any other questions regarding your visit to the beautiful Los Pinos property!
PLACES TO VISIT at Los Pinos
Now open to the public are the following highlights and places of interest within Los Pinos:

Lo principal es relajarse y desconectarse por un momento de todo el estrés, puedes disfrutar este lugar con tus amigos, familia o pareja. Te aconsejamos que si llevas niños cuides mucho en qué alberca van a meterse, ya que las temperaturas son muy altas y no es aconsejable aventarse clavados por su seguridad.
- Disfrutar de las albercas, hidromasaje, chapoteaderos y albercas infantiles.
- Nadar de noche para gozar más de la temperatura del agua.
- Visitar el SPA Natural que se hace con el vapor que sale del respirador volcánico conocido como Geiser.
-Recorrer todos sus puentes colgantes.
-Al atardecer sube al puente colgante más alto y toma unas fotografías increíbles.

*Dónde hospedarse en el Geiser
-En el Geiser hay hoteles, cabañas y renta de tiendas de campaña. Los costos van de los $250 pesos hasta los $2,000 pesos, esto depende de qué tipo de habitación o cabaña escojas y el número de personas que se hospedarán en ella. Recuerda que el rentar una habitación o tienda de campaña no está incluida la entrada.
Si deseas acampar con tu propia tienda, solo tendrás que pagar una cuota dependiendo el tamaño de tu tienda. Pero si no tienes tienda de campaña puedes rentar una ahí mismo. Para conocer los precios actualizados de cada habitación, cabaña y tienda de campaña consulta nuestro blog
La habitación donde nosotros nos quedamos tiene un costo de $800 pesos más un depósito de $200 pesos que te es devuelto al entregar la habitación sin ningún desperfecto. La habitación es sencilla para dos personas con baño completo privado, toallas, clóset y t.v.

The Most Magical Town in Mexico: Taxco, Guerrero

What happened to VERACRUZ, MEXICO?!?
Our 1st time in Veracruz, Mexico! After a week in Puerto de Veracruz, we're thinking, WHAT THE HECK happened here?
►Learn Spanish like us!
During our time in Veracruz City, we enjoyed some time at the beach, visited Boca del Rio (a suburb of Heroica Veracruz), went to the Veracruz aquarium, chased crabs, spent some time on the Veracruz Malecon, and explored a bit of what this port city has to offer.
We were thoroughly surprised by many aspects of the city, including some absolutely mouthwatering food local to Veracruz: consomé, picadas, and platano relleno. With how little tourism there is in Veracruz, Veracruz the question we're asking is, what happened to this place? It seems like a once thriving beach city is now practically a ghost town by comparison. Still, the largest and oldest port in Mexico remains incredibly active. We saw huge ships coming into the city continuously throughout our time here.
What do you think of Veracruz? Share your thoughts in the comments.
TIPS FOR TRAVELING TO VERACRUZ, MEXICO:
1. Wear shoes on the beach. We saw lots of glass on every beach we visited throughout Veracruz City.
2. Budget for your trip. We found Puerto de Veracruz to be much more expensive than other Mexican cities.
3. Expect to drive to your destinations in Veracruz City. Some areas are more walkable than others, but most places will be a 10-20 minute drive away. At the time of creating this video, Uber was not available in the area. There are lots of cabs in the area and also public buses.
4. You might need to cook at home. There are no shortage of seafood restaurants in Veracruz, but we found the number of restaurants overall to be much lower than in some cities.
5. When looking for a place to stay in Veracruz, Veracruz you'll probably want to find one with air conditioning. During our time here, it was 80+ degrees during the day with high humidity.

REAL DE CATORCE, SAN LUIS POTOSI, MEXICO - Hola amigos! We have finally made it to the former silver mining town of Real de Catorce in the state of San Luis Potosi in Mexico! This is a feature length video detailing a location which gives you an authentic feel of the Mexican desert. If you'e planning a Mexico trip or Mexico vacation in 2019, San Luis Potosi and Real de Catorce have to be on your itinerary!
Real de Catorce is located approx 2700 metres above sea level north of Matehuala in San Luis Potosi state. It rose to prominence in the late 1700s when silver was discovered, which became the main industry in the area. Once the early 1900s came, the price of silver had plummeted, resulting in the town being largely abandoned.
You can visit Real de Catorce on a tour/bus from San Luis Potosi or Matehuala or do it yourself as I did (My Airbnb host in Cedral drove me). There is a bus back at 1540 and at other times throughout the day (you get a small bus through the Ogarrio tunnel then change to a Grupo Senda bus to Matehuala).
You can also visit the ghost town higher up by horse, or (As I did), walk! It takes about 1-1.5hrs depending on fitness.
WIND - Yes there is wind in the video (I was at 3000 metres), please put the subtitles on if you can't hear.

Visiting The WORLD'S HIGHEST LIGHTHOUSE in Mazatlan, Mexico
While staying in Mazatlán, we decided to climb a mountain to explore the tallest lighthouse in the world. The view of the city was absolutely stunning. We saw birds, cats, bees, and LOTS of stair steps on the way up to the top. Here's our journey and what you can expect from El Faro in Mazatlan, the world's tallest lighthouse.
