La Cueva del Diablo

Back in Time

Pirates and ammo and ice, oh my!

Legend has it that the devil lives in the Cueva del Diablo and woe be unto anyone foolish enough to enter, as no one has ever escaped alive.

“We were told there was a deep well inside and if we fell into it we would never get out,” remembered Chona Soto Felix. “We were also told it was where the pirates used to hide so people wouldn’t kill them. And we used the cave to scare other little children or each other.”

Can a property in Mexico be purchased through a mortgage?

real estate corner Yes, U.S. dollar mortgages are available for purchasers of Mexico properties. North American banks have offered this service for several years now and the loan application process is very similar to what borrowers are used to back home.

Mortgages can be arranged for up to 75% of the property value with both fixed and variable interest rates available. There’s normally a minimum loan amount of $100,000 USD and the loan will be based on the lower of the sales price or appraised value.

Rooms with a View

Back in Time

On Icebox Hill, La Estratosfera was a safe playground for the rich & famous

The name of the weathered, open-air bar tucked away high on the east face of the Cerro de la Neveria in 1945 was “La Estratosfera,” a palapa presumably hidden from the eyes of the rest of the world by the nebulous mists of the stratosphere. Although it was open to anyone who wanted to enjoy the incredible view, once the sun went down, everything changed. The men did not talk about it in front of their wives or children; the women worried, snickered gratefully or gossiped about its wickedness.
