Hi guys, I recommend two UA-cam channels of two Mexican girls who travel all over México and show magical places of great interest, have fun !! ua-cam.com/users/BrendaCatal%C3%A1n/videos ua-cam.com/users/costoXdestinovideos
SUGGESTION: In Zihua, if you go past Las Gatas and past the lighthouse towards Barra De Potosí. You can catch Dorado (MahiMahi) and I caught 3. Also, during the proper season, next to the lighthouse there is a small chance to catch a Rooster Fish. That fish is giant. As tall as me when I was 7.
4:48 Carlitos works at Café Caracol (Or used to) but he was nice. Also have you gone to: Espuma, Bandidos, Bistro Del Mar or iL Máre? Which one is your favorite if you have. (Mine is Espuma for their Salmon Nigiri)
I’ve been to many places in Mexico as well as many other countries in the world. I love to visit new places although I always return to my beloved Zihuatanejo. It’s my happy place. Como Mexico no ay dos… 🇲🇽
Yes Adam I agree with you 100%, Shankshaw Redemption is the best movie ever. I have watched it 20+ times and it’s still brilliant. Love your channel, it’s amazing. Can’t wait for October when we will be in Mexico for three months from Cairns, Queensland. You guys have help us out more then you could ever know. Thank you so much.
In addition to interesting content I really appreciate that you include how you got there and where you are staying. Those practical points really help me make plans for my own travels!
As always, excellent beautiful video and this lovely, funny couple giving us the best of each mexican rinconcito. Love u guys, thanks for showing the mexican world .
That blue water WOW 🤩I am packing my bags! Looks like a really neat spot. Thank you again for always taking us to these places I've never even heard of! Can't wait to see where we go next week. Until then amigos!
So happy you took us along your experience. We are going in 3 weeks! So excited for the trip. You gave us all the information we needed to complete the best experience. Thanks for all the positive vibes. Cant wait.
Hello Country Collectors, I have to say, of all the travel UA-camrs, you two are the best narrators of your experiences that I have come across throughout the years of binging these varied stories. You two are professional level at what you do. Keep up the great work.
This is paul.... and Gloria in Oaxaca. We watched it together & Gloria said we've got to go there. I have been meaning to take her to Zihuatanejo because I had such a good time there in the early 70s. Now, after seeing your video, she really wants to go. In 1974 I hitched a boat ride from Selena Cruz, Oaxaca to Zihuatanejo bay. It took two days. Once there , we grabbed a water taxi and it took us to town. From there, a taxi driver took us to Bungalow Pacificos, where we stayed for a week. It was $16 a night. It was a deal even then. As you can imagine, Zihuatanejo wasn't as built up 50 years ago, but it's still looks amazing and Ixtapa wasn't even there yet. It was just a plan that the government was talking about. I first went there in 1970. On Tuesday we're flying to Costa Rica for 2 weeks. It's just work. Matter of fact we can't wait to get back to Mexico.
That "boatload" line made me chuckle, Heidi. Usually you're the cute part of the videos and Adam is the hambone. You always thank us for coming along with you, but this was yet another amazing place that we all wish that were actually true. Thanks for sharing your wonderful lives with us.
Haha 😂 Adam was impressed I said that too - he’s like you’re going to be the cute and funny one now! We’re so glad you joined us! It’s an incredible spot.
@surfersforstrays appreciates your shout out and just brought together a beautiful union of one of your viewers Danny Freeze and family with a pit mix Freedom who has been waiting in our shelter for two years for her furever home. Mucho Alohaaaaaaaaaa and thank you so mucho
Another great video in ZIHUA!!!!!!! My wife and I will be in Zihua for the entire month of January 2023... it'll be our 5th straight year! Woohoo!!!!! Hope to see you 2 back in Zihua!
Love how you guys are describing my beloved home country pacific coast, you guys are hitting my fave spots to vacation, those are the beaches where I went on vacay as a kid and now I'm taking my young family to them. Don't miss the opportunity to continue north on the pacific and stop by Playa Troncones, Maruata, Sayulita, Manzanillo, Costa Careyes, Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Mazatlan, San Carlos, y San Felipe Baja.
What a beautiful town , Im here laughing and crying with you guys. Im planning to go back and visit my Mexico after 15 years and am so excited thanks to your videos. You are awesome.
Good morning, what a cool place, sad to hear it really wasn’t showcased other than the name in shawshank lol. Thank you so much for showing us around this really nice beach/fishing town. It’s beautiful… Mexico never disappoints. Great tips and recommendations… awesome video guys.
What beautiful murals - so colorful and seems to tell stories. Such talented artists! Love your Airbnb hammocks on the rooftop - amazing The amount you research you two put into each video is incredible. From great Airbnbs, to the best places to visit, history of each areas, where to eat, where to shop, etc, etc.! Thank you for your endless education - looking forward to learning more next Sunday!
Hey Kelly! We loved the art too! I know, the roof was such a vibe. It was so nice going up there and relaxing. Why don't we normalize hammocks more in the US lol.. all year long, in the house, in your room - they are awesome! Thank you SO much for being here with us! We love you.
Went to Ixtapa with my family to an all inclusive resort and now checking your video, I regret not taking the time to spend at least one day or two visiting Zihua, thanks for sharing guys, it looks so good I’ll definitely dedicate some days for the next visit
Awesome video again! Glad the weather held up :D I'm adding this to my destination list for sure! Oh and Shawshank Redemption is my favourite movie too!
We look forward to your videos every Sunday. Loved Acapulco last week. We haven’t been there in years so it was fun seeing the divers and the restaurant where they launch. One of our favorite pictures of us is from there. When we were young and beautiful. ❤️
I can't stop laughing 2:20 😆... You've made another epic video of the beautiful zihuatanejo. Can't wait to know where the next mexican funny adventure is going to be. Greetings guys!
Thank you for sharing such great info like with the tour guide. You really make these places seem approachable with your local interactions. It's great! Saludos!
You are very fun. Whenever I watch your videos and I smile a lot. I don’t understand a lot of English but I still am learning and appreciate your videos.
Enjoying your videos, you guys are awesome! And yes!, Shawshank Redemption, one of my alltime favorite movies as well! Zihuatanejo is definitely on my bucket list... Enjoy!!
We aren't too sure, as long as we feel is right I guess! We had no idea we would be here this long as is - but it's like a treasure trove of things to do, places to explore, and food to eat!
Your video was amazingly helpful! We stayed on Playa la Ropa and loved Triton. We ate there repeatedly. Also loved La Papa Roca. Would never had found it without your recommendation. Best potato ever!! Other visitors wished they found Triton earlier in the week. We did everything right from the start because of you!
My wife and I missed you by a week. We flew into Zihuatanejo the week of July 4th. My wife is from Petatlán where we love to visit. Even though we were just there, we love to be able to return with you as you rekindle great memories of Zihua. Thank you for what you do. Keep going and we will follow along and enjoy your adventures.
Many memories from Zihuatanejo, but I hope you visit Ixtapa, I went there in 1997 when I graduated from high school with all my friends, amazing hidden gem, i'm really surprise foreign tourist dont have Zihua in their radar, it is like Acapulco and Puerto Escondido combination.
Another amazing video from The Country Collectors. Entertaining content, informative recommendations, professional production, beautiful videography, and two very nice and tremendously fun people. Wondering if you guys were this happy before your Mexico travels? 🙂
Found your channel because we're planning a trip to Zihua next month. Thanks for the super informative and great content! You both have such fun and wonderful energy together, looking forward to more great videos! Muchos gracias!!
Beautiful place! Loved the vlog.Shawshank is my FAVORITE movie and I have the last couple of scenes memorized when Red finds the money Andy left him and leaves on the bus full of expectations and the nervous thrill of the unknown "that only a free man can know".I play that scene very often.It makes me hopeful when Red arrives, walks down the beach, and he and Andy see each other!!!! 🥲
Thanks for the great tour! We live in Merida and have a trip planned to Zihua in a few months. After watching the two of you...I am ready to go!! Thanks again!
What a surprise! You guys visited to my hometown! Thanks for such an awesome video! I hope "los Zancas" treated you well! BTW, minute 28:05, here's your answer, the name “Playa las Gatas” comes from the nurse sharks that used to inhibit its waters.
To start… reading in a hammock…the best!! Love that their so accepting of diversity!! 🌈 You are Whaley cool 😂 💍 Go for it Adam!! Sorry I’m such a Mom. Heidi’s the best💗. She feeds you!!!! Love your adventures!! Keep going You guys are doing awesome!! Xo
Another fun and informative video !Many years ago I traveled throughout Mexico from the capital city ,Oaxxaca, Michocan ,Cancun ,Baja, and Mazatlan, also The Copper canyon .I did have a friend in N.California who loved to vacation in Zihua
I really congratulate you for making such excellent videos and showing the best of Mexico, I admire you and I will follow all your videos, greetings from the state of Michoacán!! 👍🏼👌🏼
I would love to visit Zihuatanejo. Seems like a beautiful fishing town. I bet the seafood there is off the charts. That coconut shrimp at the end looked delish. Glad the weather held out for you guys.
Hey guys!! We love your channel!! We’re in our 60s and potentially looking for a city to spend part of the winter in on a regular basis. We would love it if you would talk about hospitals and other essentials in your shows. You guys always give such great info but thought I’d make The suggestion. Hero ip the good work. Be safe! Bob
Loved this video of Zihua! You two are so good at presenting Mexico! I loved your video of Acupulco so much that I'm planning a trip in October..... now, it will include Zihua too! Gracias mi amigos!
We too were inspired by Andy Dufresne's mention of Zihuatanejo in the Shawshank Redemption. Andy was right, this place us awesome! We have already seen many of the places you showed in your video. Having a great time here. Tons to see and do!
I loved every minute of it , Shawshank Redemption brought me there , your video showed me exactly what i wanted to do and Cuba , Jorge and the Cat helped me to enjoy it ! I snorkled at every Playa , Ropa was a highlight when ia beautiful Stingray swam upclose to me !!! Now im in Mexico City and soon Heading to Toluca , Puebla , Zacatlan , etc . Your videos are great guys ! Jo amo Mexico 🇲🇽👊🏻
Like it you guys are amazing Love your videos. You are so excited to show it everything Thanks. You looks like local walking with out sandals or sneaker jijijiji love that.
Ohhh this looks like the perfect long weekend chill out location! Adding it to the list AND I just checked the flights. Very reasonable from QRO even though you have to connect in MEX.
Good evening to you two! Holy moly.....just when I think I've got my head wrapped around the places in Mexico to consider, another comes from left field. Wow....this place looks fabulous! It is great to see a place that is full of friendly and welcoming people in such a beautiful place! My wife's and mine's criteria from some part time expatting are: abundance of live music (such as at least 4 times per week), walking to the music, restaurants, food shopping, mercados, etc, cultural things to visit (hopefully many that are in walking range too). This place looks like a much more un-gringo-ized place than such as the Playa de Riviera region or a Puerta Vallarta??? We have our Exploratory trip #1 to Mexico scheduled for Mazatlan 1-9 September. I think we'll look to explore a central highlands location after that. I REALLY like this area too! Safe travels!!
Great video - glad I was able to find your channel! I've been to Zihua a couple of times but always stayed in the hills overlooking La Ropa! I think I'll book a few days in Centro this upcoming Spring thanks to you two! How many days was your visit in total?
Hey !!! Howdy !!!!! What a great feeling you put in your great contents ..I live in Mexico and love when tourist with great spark talk about how you love my country...... Have fun !!!! And keep doing these great videos and reviews....soon I travel to San Lucas....I love that place a lot....
Zihu is such a beautiful place with friendly people. The first time we came here we fell in love with this place. Booked for February 2023 and already planning 3weeks 2024
Cool to actually see the video. We were there at the same time and remember seeing you. How, you might ask? When you average seeing maybe ten gringos/day in the low season, you tend to take notice. Great job putting this together!
Another awesome video .Thank you guys..your videos make our day...living vicariously...can't travel due to wheelchair bound son😥 but chairside traveler has never been more inclusive or enjoyable.Thank you for all that you do..sweethearts that you both are.Sending you love!😍💖💝💋
@@TheCountryCollectors Oh you guys rock truly. May your kindness , wellness and prosperity return to you both 100x over !!Karma is watching and you guys deserve the WORLD!
Wow like always you guys are amazing, your video’s are so professional, well edited, well presented, I fall in love with my Mexican people. Thank you for your existence guys if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know Mexico was this beautiful 🤯. Heidi tell Adam the youngster(joven) to keep up the good work 😂
My favorite weather is overcast days at the beach. So that video was perfect! If I could find a beach with lots of cloudy days, I would move there. I didn’t know that fun fact about my favorite movie Shawshank; I didn’t know the true take was at St.Croix. My other fav movie is The Count of Monte Cristo.
@@TheCountryCollectors don’t worry about it brother, the changes out of our control are always the hardest to accept. Speaking from experience, find a new person and don’t look back. You deserve the best in life.
And that ‘s is the reason you are in the best place on the world because that place only love people like you … amazing..!! very happy you liked my town.
Too hot! Mexican beach cities are too hot all year round! Checked out Zihua after seeing the Shawshank Redemption. Too hot! I vowed I would never live where I need air conditioning. So, I moved to Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Pretty Spanish Colonial. Pueblos Magico! 7,000 feet in the central Transvolcanic Mountain range. Pine Oak forests. Perfect climate! Cheap to live! I love it!
Oh gosh I was dying! Adam was goofing and got caught! The man called him out! "Yes do come in, sit, have a margarita". Mexican Promise 😆 Funny man. This area looks so beautiful and so much fun!! I hadn't seen much before re but it is definitely added to the list. Thank you for showing us this. Thanks for how I giggle for weeks about your antics and puns.
Great stuff folks.Very sweet people. Learned "joven". Thank you! Have you been to Manzanillo? Heading over for Dios de Los Muertos. Trying to decide between the two,

The Shawshank Redemption brought me here, the Pacific really is as blue as it was in his dreams

Hi Joe! Wow thank you so much!
This is paul.... and Gloria in Oaxaca.
We watched it together & Gloria said we've got to go there.
I have been meaning to take her to Zihuatanejo because I had such a good time there in the early 70s. Now, after seeing your video, she really wants to go.
In 1974 I hitched a boat ride from Selena Cruz, Oaxaca to Zihuatanejo bay. It took two days. Once there , we grabbed a water taxi and it took us to town.
From there, a taxi driver took us to Bungalow Pacificos, where we stayed for a week. It was $16 a night. It was a deal even then.

I first went there in 1970.
On Tuesday we're flying to Costa Rica for 2 weeks. It's just work. Matter of fact we can't wait to get back to Mexico.
Oh wow! We love hearing about all your stories, what fond memories!
I will visit Zhihua because of ya'll. Love the humor, details, and fun that you share. Never stop exploring!
Hi Rafael! We hope not too! Thank you so much for being here!

Haha 😂 Adam was impressed I said that too - he’s like you’re going to be the cute and funny one now! We’re so glad you joined us! It’s an incredible spot.
Zihuatanejo is one of our most favourite places we have visited so far in Mexico ! Looks like you guys loved it too ! Great vlog ❤️🇲🇽❤️
What a special place!
I am always impressed by the artwork in Mexico!
It’s truly amazing!
We brought some home from here

Good morning Adam and Heidi. I always look forward to my Sunday mornings because of you two!

How special!! Wishing you a wonderful time!!
Love how you guys are describing my beloved home country pacific coast, you guys are hitting my fave spots to vacation, those are the beaches where I went on vacay as a kid and now I'm taking my young family to them.
Don't miss the opportunity to continue north on the pacific and stop by Playa Troncones, Maruata, Sayulita, Manzanillo, Costa Careyes, Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Mazatlan, San Carlos, y San Felipe Baja.
Thank you so much for sharing! We’ve done a few of those but are heading inland now. Hope to hit those other places in the near future!

Thank you so much Tammy!! I know! I bet a lot of people go there looking for the beach too. We love ❤️ having you along! Thanks for always being here!
What beautiful murals - so colorful and seems to tell stories. Such talented artists!
Love your Airbnb hammocks on the rooftop - amazing
The amount you research you two put into each video is incredible. From great Airbnbs, to the best places to visit, history of each areas, where to eat, where to shop, etc, etc.!
Thank you for your endless education - looking forward to learning more next Sunday!
Hey Kelly! We loved the art too! I know, the roof was such a vibe. It was so nice going up there and relaxing. Why don't we normalize hammocks more in the US lol.. all year long, in the house, in your room - they are awesome! Thank you SO much for being here with us! We love you.
@@TheCountryCollectors I just love the mountain ⛰view from those hammocks
Went to Ixtapa with my family to an all inclusive resort and now checking your video, I regret not taking the time to spend at least one day or two visiting Zihua, thanks for sharing guys, it looks so good I’ll definitely dedicate some days for the next visit
So happy to hear that! 💛
Damn homie you went to ixtapa and never once visited Zihua? I feel bad for you bro Zihua is way nicer .
Beautiful beaches, La Ropa was adorable, Zihuatanejo was great. The murals are almost always my favorite things!
I understand! They are SO beautiful!
Awesome video again! Glad the weather held up :D I'm adding this to my destination list for sure! Oh and Shawshank Redemption is my favourite movie too!
We hope you get there sometime it is amazing
Glad you enjoyed it! Funny how I'm learning about my own country with you :) Saludos desde CDMX.

Great video guys.
I'm headed down there in 7 weeks!!
Hope you enjoy it!
We too were inspired by Andy Dufresne's mention of Zihuatanejo in the Shawshank Redemption. Andy was right, this place us awesome! We have already seen many of the places you showed in your video. Having a great time here. Tons to see and do!
Awesome!! Keep enjoying!
1 week after watching this Video i travelled to Zihua and i bumped into Cuba , Jorge and the Cat !!!
Such a small world !
(Dec 2024)
Very cool! 😎
Did you love it?
I loved every minute of it , Shawshank Redemption brought me there , your video showed me exactly what i wanted to do and Cuba , Jorge and the Cat helped me to enjoy it !
I snorkled at every Playa , Ropa was a highlight when ia beautiful Stingray swam upclose to me !!!
Now im in Mexico City and soon Heading to Toluca , Puebla , Zacatlan , etc .
Your videos are great guys !
Jo amo Mexico 🇲🇽👊🏻
Like it you guys are amazing
Love your videos.
You are so excited to show it everything
Thanks.
You looks like local walking with out sandals or sneaker jijijiji love that.
barefoot and on the beach! I am in heaven!
Ohhh this looks like the perfect long weekend chill out location! Adding it to the list AND I just checked the flights. Very reasonable from QRO even though you have to connect in MEX.
Oh that's awesome!! 💕
Thanks guys.. What a nice video.
Y con mucho respeto.. ELLA ES MUY HERMOSA!!
💕💕💕
Good evening to you two! Holy moly.....just when I think I've got my head wrapped around the places in Mexico to consider, another comes from left field. Wow....this place looks fabulous!
It is great to see a place that is full of friendly and welcoming people in such a beautiful place!
My wife's and mine's criteria from some part time expatting are: abundance of live music (such as at least 4 times per week), walking to the music, restaurants, food shopping, mercados, etc, cultural things to visit (hopefully many that are in walking range too).
This place looks like a much more un-gringo-ized place than such as the Playa de Riviera region or a Puerta Vallarta???
We have our Exploratory trip #1 to Mexico scheduled for Mazatlan 1-9 September. I think we'll look to explore a central highlands location after that. I REALLY like this area too!
Safe travels!!
Oh very cool! Sounds good! 👌
Going here in 2 weeks I can’t wait ! This makes me even more excited
Awesome!! Have a wonderful time!
Great video - glad I was able to find your channel! I've been to Zihua a couple of times but always stayed in the hills overlooking La Ropa! I think I'll book a few days in Centro this upcoming Spring thanks to you two! How many days was your visit in total?
Very cool! We were in the area for a couple of weeks!
Hey !!! Howdy !!!!! What a great feeling you put in your great contents ..I live in Mexico and love when tourist with great spark talk about how you love my country...... Have fun !!!! And keep doing these great videos and reviews....soon I travel to San Lucas....I love that place a lot....
Hi! Thank you so much! What’s not to love!!
Zihu is such a beautiful place with friendly people. The first time we came here we fell in love with this place. Booked for February 2023 and already planning 3weeks 2024
Oh that’s great!
Great video as always my friends!!!
Thank you so much!
Just visited Zihuatanejo for the first time. Amazing place. Can’t wait to go back.
Glad you had a great time!
Que bonito es zihuatanejo amigos me parece un increíble lugar para ir a la playa 🏖
Si! Un lugar muy hermosa!
Great place to enjoy the beach, a lot of changes in the last years. Love the different shades of blue!
Hi Armando! When the sun was out the water was so striking!
Another great video love zihua it’s a beautiful town
It really is!! Thank you so much for watching!
Cool to actually see the video. We were there at the same time and remember seeing you. How, you might ask? When you average seeing maybe ten gringos/day in the low season, you tend to take notice. Great job putting this together!
Hey thanks a lot!!
Another awesome video .Thank you guys..your videos make our day...living vicariously...can't travel due to wheelchair bound son😥 but chairside traveler has never been more inclusive or enjoyable.Thank you for all that you do..sweethearts that you both are.Sending you love!😍💖💝💋
Aww Teresa we are so happy to have you along on our life’s journey! We hope to take you all over the world!
@@TheCountryCollectors Oh you guys rock truly. May your kindness , wellness and prosperity return to you both 100x over !!Karma is watching and you guys deserve the WORLD!
❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Wow like always you guys are amazing, your video’s are so professional, well edited, well presented, I fall in love with my Mexican people. Thank you for your existence guys if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know Mexico was this beautiful 🤯. Heidi tell Adam the youngster(joven) to keep up the good work 😂
I will! Thank you so much! We love having you here with us! 💕 And you know we love your country!
Really enjoyed your tour. My friend is down there as I speak. Just looks amazing.
That’s awesome thank you!
It is so hot in Zihuatanejo. Even in the winter months. But it is well worth it.
👍
My hometown. Where I was born and lived there until I was eighteen. Almost forty years ago. I miss you so much my magic town. 😢😢
❤️🙏
My favorite weather is overcast days at the beach. So that video was perfect! If I could find a beach with lots of cloudy days, I would move there. I didn’t know that fun fact about my favorite movie Shawshank; I didn’t know the true take was at St.Croix. My other fav movie is The Count of Monte Cristo.
Oo that’s on my list I have it but haven’t watched it yet! I think I will tonight! Thank you so much.
7:47 this episode always stood out to me. I hope you are getting back together once she has visited her family. Just a thought.
Sorry 💔
@@TheCountryCollectors don’t worry about it brother, the changes out of our control are always the hardest to accept. Speaking from experience, find a new person and don’t look back. You deserve the best in life.
And that ‘s is the reason you are in the best place on the world because that place only love people like you … amazing..!! very happy you liked my town.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We appreciate you!
@@TheCountryCollectors you are welcome.!! 😊
Too hot! Mexican beach cities are too hot all year round! Checked out Zihua after seeing the Shawshank Redemption. Too hot! I vowed I would never live where I need air conditioning. So, I moved to Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Pretty Spanish Colonial. Pueblos Magico! 7,000 feet in the central Transvolcanic Mountain range. Pine Oak forests. Perfect climate! Cheap to live! I love it!
That’s great!! We are looking forward to visiting.
Oh gosh I was dying! Adam was goofing and got caught! The man called him out! "Yes do come in, sit, have a margarita".
Mexican Promise 😆 Funny man.
This area looks so beautiful and so much fun!!
I hadn't seen much before re but it is definitely added to the list.
Thank you for showing us this. Thanks for how I giggle for weeks about your antics and puns.
We’re so happy you joined us here! Haha 😂 he was hilarious! You no make me Mexican promise … I look for you but never do I see you!! 😆
I’ve been looking forward to this episode. No disappointment here :)
