SUMMARY Mexico is a fantastic country for surfing. There is a huge variety of breaks and plenty of swell. Uncrowded breaks can be found along the entire length of the Pacific Ocean coastline. The waves can be surfed all year round, and the coastline is pounded with consistent surf. Mexico has over 6000 miles of coastline with over 1500 miles on the mainland Pacific. April to October is the main season and with nice weather, warm water temperatures and good waves, you could not ask for anything more. Waves are generated all year round by the deep Southern Ocean low pressure systems and more localized tropical storms, June to October being hurricane season. - In the following daily itineraries, we have provided you with all anchorages and passages, as well as corresponding activities and restaurants. You will see options for both “Active” and “Leisure” based activities and excursions. The crew will always be available to accompany you on excursions throughout your trip.

It has gone decades without the infiltration of obstructive high-rises or a mass influx of tourists. Some say it's Mexico’s last authentic beach town, and we'd agree. So much so that we put together these eight reasons why it's absolutely the country's top undiscovered stretch of sand. Twenty miles south of Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa is so off the radar you can only arrive by boat. Surf Breaks Quimixto and El Tecuan Activities Waterfalls at Quimixto by Tender Optional: Tequila Town Tour (Charter Helicopter) Relax: Yelapa Beach Meals: Lunch & Dinner onboard Overnight Cruise from Yelapa to Chamela timing of departure to be discussed approx. 7.5 hrs. / 80 nm.

Punta Rivas and Punta Farallon rise as faithful guardians of the bay. At Pasavera, one of the most representative islands of Chamela, you can spot an extensive variety of marine birds. The bay's transparent waters also make it ideal for diving. La Colorada, Cocinas, Novilla, Esfinge, La Negrita and the islands San Andres, San Pedro and San Agustin complete the charming circle of islands.

While 27 the Berkeley cultural geographers studiously avoided areas impacted by 28 tourism, geographers today are increasingly receptive to understanding the 29 role of tourism – at traditional tourist destinations, at newly created 30 touristic growth poles, and in isolated regions that may have ethnic 31 or wilderness appeal to alternative tourists.

Las implicaciones de esta actividad en el esquema tectónico de la parte central de México apoya la hipótesis de que está ocurriendo actividad tectónica reciente en esta área. Se detectaron tremores en estaciones sismológicas portátiles que fueron instaladas en los alrededores. Se analizaron muestras de las chimeneas formadas por la actividad hidrotermal y se encontró una secuencia de depositación dominada por carbonatos en la primera etapa (calcita y dolomita), seguida por apatita y vetas tardías de barita.

    Sandy White [email protected] www.sandlertravel.com 832-305-7825 PUERTO VALLARTA, JALISCO, MEXICO OVERVIEW Introduction Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, masterfully plays the part of a remote tropical getaway, even as it grows into a larger city that's connected to the outside world by multinational chain stores and a steady stream of jets and cruise ships. Puerto Vallarta's success has a lot to do with looks. However, in recent years, unchecked development along every inch of its beach has gradually turned the once-quaint fishing village enjoyed by the moneyed few into a mass-market destination. Still, there remains much beauty in Vallarta (as it is known to the locals and habitues) and the coast to its northwest. Whitewashed walls and terra-cotta-tiled roofs are nestled along Banderas Bay, with the ornate crown of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe serving as a focal point. The lush, green foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east make for a beautiful and dramatic backdrop. Puerto Vallarta's style is another key. Even as more and more travelers have arrived, and more and more hotels have been built, it has somehow managed to retain—or at least appears to retain—a cultured grace that's rare in heavily touristed areas. Artists, architects, writers and chefs flourish in this rarified climate of tropical creativity. The restaurants, galleries and shops there are some of the finest in the country, drawing local talent from Mexico City and Guadalajara, and farther afield from Italy, Switzerland, Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere.

NUMBER 2 2 2 2 AUGUST I7, I 965 Systematic Notes on the Bird Family Cracidae. No. 2 Relationships and Geographical Variation of Ortalis vetula, Ortalis poliocephala, and Ortalis leucogastra BY CHARLES VAURIE1 INTRODUCTION The Cracidae are a well-defined family ofgallinaceous birds oftropical America, but the genus Ortalis penetrates well north of the Tropic of Cancer, reaching the lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas in the east and southern Sonora in the west (fig. 1). In the lower Rio Grande Valley it ascends to the region of Laredo, or to latitude 270 30' N., and reaches about the same latitude in the west in the region of Alamos, but it does not inhabit the Mexican Plateau north of Mexico City. Ortalis is the most widely distributed genus in the family and breeds farthest north. The forms of Ortalis that breed in Mexico north to Texas were divided into two species by Peters (1934), namely, wagleri Gray, 1867, in western Mexico from Sonora to Jalisco, and vetula Wagler, 1830, ranging from the Rio Grande in the east and Colima in the west to the Guatemalan border. In vetula, Peters included as subspecies poliocephala Wagler, 1830, lAssociate Curator, Department of Ornithology, the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2222 and leucogastra Gould, 1843. This treatment is the "classical" one followed by Hellmayr and Conover (1942), Ridgway and Friedmann (1946), and Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1950), but it has been questioned in recent years by Wagner (1953) and Moore and Medina (1957) who gave good reasons for considering that poliocephala is not conspecific with vetula, although in the main it replaces vetula in western Mexico.
