According to credible news sources, the issue in Puerto Vallarta right now is related to a federal operation that took the life of a Cartel leader. All locals and tourists have been asked to shelter in place and keep a low profile. Some flights to Puerto Vallarta today were re-routed back to their original destination as a precaution. I previously said the airport was closed. I've learned this is not true and is secured by the military and still operational. Currently Cancun, on the opposite side of the country, has a heightened travel advisory from the Canadian Government, but at the time of me posting this, I've not heard of any issues in the Riviera Maya area.

Canadians in : Violence and roadblocks are occurring in State. A shelter-in-place order is in effect in Puerto Vallarta. If you’re in Jalisco State, keep a low profile and follow advice of local authorities. More info:

Good to hear. One extra row on a flight to increase potential profits (not even guaranteed profits) vs keeping your stakeholders happy....seems pretty obvious to me and I'm sure many of you are also happy about this reversal.

It seems to be baby season in the Riviera Maya! Baby agouti, baby coati, baby monkeys. Adorable! These two were hanging out during my site inspection at Ocean Riviera Paradise yesterday.

While cute, it's important to obey the signs asking you not to feed or touch the animals. They are wild creatures. When you feed and pet them you train them to rely on humans, which both reduces their natural instincts, but also makes it so animals expect things from guests. I saw a pack of coati swarm a lady yesterday to try and get food from her. No bueno friends.

We are guests in their home, not the other way around, so remember to respect your furry hosts when sharing their home.
