En Cabo Corrientes México, a veces se escribe Maito.

Historia de Playa Mayto.

Una linda historia de Mayto y sus habitantes..... Santiago fue uno de los padres fundadores de Maito. Se mudó con su familia a la zona alrededor de 1970 para crear un nuevo hogar y empezar a cultivar la tierra. Él y un grupo de otros, crearon la comunidad de Maito con concesiones de tierras del gobierno. Algunos de los terrenos incluyeron las playas, las cuales le tenían miedo de. Ellos eran campesinos y el mar con tortugas fue algo que no entendían. El maíz era el cultivo principal y cuando se decidieron por un nombre para la comunidad... fue basado en Maíz. Cada mañana, el maíz cosechado era molido en harina y  se hicieron tortillas - el alimento básico de la vida mexicana. Por lo tanto, llamaron a la comunidad Maito - de Maíz y Tortilla. En los últimos tiempos la ortografía ha cambiado a Mayto. Sin embargo, todavía se ve la antigua ortografía en muchos mapas.



En este video hay algunas de imágenes favoritas de Mayto y sus alrededores. Es un lugar realmente especial que pronto sera descubierto. Cuando la nueva carretera este terminada, este paraíso sólo estara a una hora y media en coche desde Puerto Vallarta!

Una de las últimas playas vírgenes en la costa del pacifico

Mayto es una playa enorme. Una de las últimas playas vírgenes de la costa del Pacífico de México. Es difícil verlo todo con una sola mirada. Los alrededores también están llenos de historias e imágenes  muchos de los lugares, actividades y personas.

No hay nada como estar en el mar con el viento y las brisa de las olas en tu cara, Caminando por la playa y escuchar las olas golpeando te recuerda cómo la naturaleza es increíble y la bonita experiencia que es. El mar estaba muy tranquilo en la playa Mayto agradable para nadar. Estaba lleno Mayto durante las vacaciones. El camino es mas corto a medida que avanza la pavimentación y se te sorprenderás de tanta gente que ahora sabe de este lugar - sólo en los últimos dos años! Hay muchas playas a cortas distancias de Mayto y pueblos de pescadores donde encontraras la comida mas deliciosa. Una vez que te encuentres en Mayto es necesario ir a Tehuamixtle a solo 10 minutos de Mayto, un lugar que no te puedes perder!

Puedes volar un papalote en Mayto  en esta época del año.

Los vientos suelen comenzar alrededor del mediodía y continuará hasta el final de la tarde. Esto seguramente se convertirá en un destino para el deporte, dada la fuerza y la consistencia del viento.

Hay historias sobre el pez gallo de Mayto .

Y es verdad! . Dicen que este pez es en realidad uno pequeño! Agosto y Septiembre son los mejores meses para pezcar porque las aguas son cálidas y tranquilas.

La mayoría de los peces de la zona son atrapados en las rocas del extremo sur de playa Mayto.

El red snapper es siempre un favorito. Puedes disfrutar de otros alimentos  a la plancha y una deliciosa brocheta de camarón rojo.

Budget Travel in Mexico

Travel Cheap in Mexico

Where to begin?With the prices of gas so extremely high, we could all use a good cheap vacation. Budget travel is fun! When you travel cheap not only do you save money, you meet interesting people from all over the world and you also tend to interact more with the locals, having a true Mexico experience. Mexico is not extremely cheap like India or Thailand but it is not really expensive either. It is a mid-range country where you can easily travel from place to place on $50 dollars a day. If you want to stay in one place for a month you can to it on $700 to $1000 a month without any problem. Actually, you can do it alot cheaper if you stay on a peso budget!

If you don't have a passport, get one. If you are a US citizen apply right away it is simple and quick.  Passports are required to re-enter the US by plane and required at all border crossings. Next step - pick up a map of Mexico and a copy of the Lonely Planet. This is the traveler's bible because is contains a good selection of budget accommodations and detailed information on transportation - how to get from point A to point B. Why not...???... Try to get someone to go with you so you and cut the cost of accomodation in half!!

Transportation

First of all, don't drive. Remember we are trying to escape those high gas prices! Besides that, the tolls are ridiculously high. You don't need a car in Mexico because they have great public transportation, a lot better than back at home! If you live in a border area, take the bus and stop at places along the way. Expect to pay around $50 US for a day's bus trip. There are also budget airlines in Mexico worth considering. If you live far from the border, look for a good cheap charter flight to one of the major tourist resorts like Puerto Vallarta and take off from there. Look on the internet for cheap flights.

Expect to pay $30 to $50 a night for a double. Hotel Mocali offers clean and A.C. unit rooms at a low budget price, just 2 blocks from the beach and new malecon, restaraunts, taco stands, and transportation to get you around the city for just 50 cents!  Some people camp on the beach, but be sure to ask about safety concerns before you do this.

The food in Mexico is fabulous and there is nothing better than a good Mexican breakfast eggs, beans and tortillas. This would cost between $2 and $7 depending on where you are. Every town has a traditional market and you can get a cheap breakfast there along with fresh squeezed juices. The markets also serve tortas - a sandwich on a Mexican roll and these run less than $3. And of course you can buy your own food. The markets open early in the morning but close by mid-afternoon. Mexico has wonderful tropical fruits - papayas, mangos, bananas and pineapples along with imported oranges and apples. Some people are afraid of eating street food. Try it, this way you can see see for yourself . Some places load up on the grease so watch out. If you are traveling cheap, tacos, tortas, fruit, and eggs will get you a long way.

Working?

What about making money in Mexico? It is of course illegal to work on a tourist visa but some tourists pick up a little extra cash selling pastries or chocolates, teaching English or Yoga, or giving massage. If you don't compete with the Mexicans there probably won't be any problem.

Where to go?

Mexico is such a wonderful place there are no end of places to go! Have you been to Puerto Vallarta? If not now is the time to do so... visit this website where you can find all the information you need about Puerto Vallarta more traveling tips, and places to visit ..... also check out Hotel Mocali, a friendly 3 star hotel sure to meet your needs http://mocali.com.mx/

Puerto Vallarta to Host 2011 Miss Mexico Pageant

Update: The Grand Finale of the Miss Puerto Vallarta segment of this contest will take place on Saturday, July 23, at 8 pm in Teatro Vallarta. Tickets are $200 pesos in advance or $250 pesos at the door.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - August is always one of the warmest months of the year in Puerto Vallarta, but it will be even hotter this year as candidates vie for the title of Miss Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta has been chosen to host the semi-finals and final competitions of the Miss Mexico beauty pageant, which will take place August 18-20, as announced in a press conference by Jalisco State Governor Emilio Gonzalez, Nuestra Belleza Mexico director, Lupita Jones, and 2010 Nuestra Belleza Mexico titleholder, Karin Ontiveros.
The press conference revealed that the annual beauty pageant will take place this year in three stages. The first event will be in Mexico City on July 22, which will consist of the initial competitions and eliminations, beginning with 34 contestants.
Finalists of the Mexico City event will travel to Puerto Vallarta for the second phase, which will feature the Mexican beauties on the runway in swimsuit, formal gown and costume competitions, taking place on August 18.

The final stage of the competition will take place on August 20, again in Puerto Vallarta, where the remaining 15 contestants will compete again in the runway swimsuit, formal gown and speech competitions. One of them will be crowned "Miss Mexico" and will go on to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe pageant.
For the last three years, the Nuestra Belleza Mexico finalists that have gone on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant have been from the state of Jalisco, where Puerto Vallarta is located.
The current Miss Universe, Ximena Navarrete, is from the state of Jalisco. Navarrete has been modeling since she was 15 and came to Miss Universe after winning for Jalisco, then Mexico, in the country's 2009 Nuestra Belleza pageant, which was held in Mérida, Yucatán.
This year's event will be the eighteenth edition of the Miss Mexico pageant where the current title holders will crown the successors.
One of the primary reasons that the decision was made to hold the contest in Jalisco was because the winners from the last three years have been representatives of the state of Jalisco, including the current Miss Universe, Ximena Navarrete.
Miss Universe 2011, the 60th anniversary of the Miss Universe pageant, will be held at the Credicard Hall, São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011. Ximena Navarrete of Mexico will crown her successor at the end of the event.
Ontiveros is expected to take part in the international Miss Universe 2011 contest, in hopes of becoming the third Miss Universe from Mexico, and the second consecutively
