Pyramid at Copalita Point Eco-Archaeological Center by randjb

This is the small pyramid at the archaeological sight. The large one has also been excavated but is so large and has enough trees around it that I could not capture a good picture of it.

Sitting on the dock of the bay by randjb

Huatulco is located in the state of Oaxaca where the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. The town is tiny, five minutes to walk the whole thing, but cute nevertheless. It's primary function is to welcome the cruise ships.

Santa Cruz Bay by randjb

This is the latest of the cruise ship ports Mexico has established. A tiny town, the main feature is the long pier the ships tie up at. From there, most passengers take an excursion to someplace nearby.

Whale at Porta Vallarta by randjb

After snorkeling, we cruised the bay looking for whales. We found multiple females each pursued by multiple males; mating season. Exciting to see even though no of them cleared the water completely.

We took a small boat across the Bahia de Banderas to an island national park, Marietas Islands National Park. The area is considered one of the destinations to practice snorkel and visit the natural environment, however the seas were high enough on the morning we were there to make snorkeling less than ideal.

Inside the Coral Princess by randjb

The atrium in the ship was decorated for the holidays making it even more festive than usual. The cruise began in Long Beach, went down the west coast of Mexico and Central America, crossed through the Panama Canal, visited Columbia and Aruba, then sailed into Fort Lauderdale.
