TALES OF MEXICO

Tales of Mexico by

Seigar.

Last year, I was lucky to spend the summer traveling and shooting my travel and street photo narratives. I visited Serbia, Cuba, Mexico, and Morocco. This series belongs to the Tales of Mexico. During this trip, I moved around the Yucatan Peninsula. Its landscape is the idea many people have in mind of paradise: beaches, islands, cenotes (natural pools), archaeological sites, and traditional villages. And delicious food! Local parties are everywhere, with orchestras playing Latin music in the main squares! What attracted my attention was the sweetness in people. In this peninsula, they have a natural kindness. This personality makes it easy to talk and share experiences with them. I had a blast on this trip! I have selected some photos I took of Holbox Island and Lagarto River. Enjoy this paradise, and remember: carpe diem.
