The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada is a non-profit organization committed to fulfilling the wishes of sick and injured children. With the support of the rodeo committees across Canada, the Crazy Cowgirls can fulfill their own personal wish to make a difference in this very deserving cause!" We would like to thank the Crazy Cowgirls and the City of Falkland and the Falkland Rodeo Committee for their support of this cause.

2011 Mahahual ~ Costa Maya Quintana Roo Mexico

Mahahual steals your heart! Mahahual (Majuhual) is a Mayan word that means 'trees surrounded by water'. Mahahual is in the Costa Maya of Quintana Roo. Mahahual is about 3 km away (or a $3 taxi ride) from the Port of Costa Maya. It is the most beautiful, quaint, Mexican fishing village with a population of about 600 people which can swell to about 2000 when Cruise Ships dock. The Malacar or boardwalk along some of the town's beach is about 1.5 miles long. On one side the beautiful azure green blue of the Caribbean with white powder sand beach, the great Mesoamerican reef just a little beyond, grass thatched palapas and on the other side, restaurants, shops and beach bars. And then there's the people! The warm hearts, the friendly smiles ~ we have new friends & familiy there now and I can't wait to spend more time there!!

Dzibanche Mayan Ruins ~ Quintana Roo Mexico

Dzibanche Mayan Ruins in souther Quintana Roo Mexico are spectacular! It's about an hour and twenty minutes from the Port of Costa Maya/Mahahual. The ruins are not mainstream so few people are there. Completely in the jungle they are magical and cover a massive area! I look forward to returning to spend more time!

Banco Chinchorro ~ Costa Maya Mexico (2011) ~ Paradise!!

Banco Chinchorro is an atoll reef lying in the Mexican Caribbean, about 35 km offshore the fishing village of Mahahual in the Costa Maya. It's approximately 40.2 km long from north to south and approximately 16 km wide at its widest point. The atoll has 3 islands with a land area of only about 6 square kms. The islands are:
1. Cayo Norte
2. Cayo Centro - occupied by 65 fishermen and one Government Building
3. Caya Lobos

We stayed at Cayo Centro with a local Fisherman. Some of the fishermen have homes on the island. Inocencia's house is built on stilts, over the ocean. Below it, sharks and crocodiles wait to eat the entrails from the fisherman's catch. The island is predominantly mangroves and lagoon and absolutely beautiful! The mangroves are filled with all kinds of birds and the lagoon is home to approximately 600 saltwater crocodiles.

The history of this area is of pirates and treasure! The waters are abundant with ship wrecks as gallions chased pirates and met their fate on the coral.

The snorkeling is world class - so many fish, so many varieties of fish and I even got to snorkel with sharks - both nurse sharks and reef sharks! Next time I will have my dive certificate! More info will be in an upcoming Blog.
