Guanajuato is the most culturally and historically important city in Mexico. It is well known as the setting for the movie "Coco." A view of San Miguel de Allende from the hill. I've been there many times, but I like the view from here the best. I think you can take a good photo by using a normal telephoto zoom and narrowing the exposure a little.

Cancún, located on the Yucatán Peninsula along the Caribbean Sea, is one of the world’s most renowned resort destinations. It boasts pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, with a warm climate that can be enjoyed throughout the year.  The area was developed as a tourist hub in the 1970s under a government-led initiative, and today it is home to numerous luxury hotels and all-inclusive resorts that attract visitors from around the globe.

San Miguel de Allende, located in the highlands of central Mexico, is a beautiful town renowned for its colonial architecture and vibrant artistic culture. At the heart of this charming town stands the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, a church that serves as its most iconic landmark. With its pink stone façade designed in a Gothic style, the church evokes the grandeur of European cathedrals. However, its design is uniquely Mexican—created by local artisans who drew inspiration from postcards of European churches, resulting in a structure that showcases remarkable creativity and individuality. Reconstructed in the 19th century, the church was originally built in the 18th century and underwent significant renovations. Its towering spires and ornate decorations are particularly striking. During the day, the pink exterior glows under the bright blue sky, while at night, the church is beautifully illuminated, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Inside, golden embellishments, stained glass wi...

It is a breathtaking seasonal attraction that opens only in spring. Each year, vibrant ranunculus flowers blanket approximately 50 acres—about the size of four Tokyo Domes—creating a spectacular display. The peak bloom typically occurs from late March through early May, when the colorful carpet of blossoms set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean is truly awe-inspiring. The history of this floral wonder dates back to the 1920s, when British horticulturist Luther Gage introduced ranunculus to North America. Since then, it has become a cherished spring tradition in the region. Today, The Flower Fields welcomes over 100,000 visitors annually. The grounds are divided into multiple sections, with staggered planting schedules to ensure that visitors can enjoy stunning blooms throughout the season. Because there is little shade, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential, along with comfortable walking shoes and plenty of water. From the hilltop vantage points, the contrast between th...
