A continent full of dangers, corrupt police and cartel violence at every corner? Before our journey through Latin America, we were constantly warned. After three years in the Land Cruiser and 34 checks in Mexico, we can share a surprising conclusion: why the reality on the roads looks completely different to what you see in the media – and the 3 golden rules that saw us through safely.
Three very different whales, an endless ocean and the ticking of the clock. Off the coast of Baja California, we experience a truly special whale safari. Join us in Cousteau’s famous “aquarium of the world” as we encounter curious stragglers, leaping humpbacks and a scrawny giant, right before we swap the sea salt for the dust of the desert.
There are few indescribable moments in life, and our encounter with a whale shark in Baja was exactly that. It is also high on our list of top encounters. However, swimming through Cousteau’s Aquarium has been a highlight throughout.
Nothing seems more US than cowboys, but actually, their origins are found further south with his Mexican neighbour.
We dive into the water in Mexiko’s mountains – or at least our phones. Just to see these small creatures in their habitat.

Is it true that you find the entry to the underworld in Mexico’s centoes? We wanted to find out and went diving in Yucatan’s crystal clear waters.
