The air is fresh, the pace is slow, the mood is tranquil, and the views are quite breath-taking...
Many residents of DF have weekend homes here, but it is still possible to rent a lakeside house, or a room in a traditional posada in town, for a very reasonable rate. The town itself is a beautiful traditional mexican pueblo with zocalo, market stalls, street food, and artisan wares, but there is also a wide range of gourmet restaurants, upmarket designer and interior stores, plus spas and chill-out cafes....
For those of you who fancy a bit more action, then there is plenty of wake-boarding, water-skiing, sailing, speed-boating, paragliding, and horse-riding to get your teeth into. Valle de Bravo is only two hours from Mexico City and can be easily reached by taking a bus from Terminal Observatorio (Poniente).For more gorgeous glimpses around the world, check out MyWorldTuesday by clicking here!!

It looks like a wonderful place. I've only been to a couple of places in Mexico via a cruise. This one looks like one to make note of.
Love the blueness in your photos. It reminds me of a folk song in my country of birth about the mountains that are blue ...
a superb retreat indeed!
Hi Catherine,
what a lake. I have been to a resort out of Acapulco and drove to Ixtapa, then on to Puerto Vallarta. (sp?)
We had an exciting trip - were stopped by armed road blocks...
Happy Days

Before the last photo it was tranquility incorporated...total Zen...then totally disturbed by the motor sprts of the yuppy set.
The landcrapes were like Japanese paintings, so beautiful.
