. . This journey begins at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, in the quaint city of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The first three photos in this gallery were taken in the Playa Mismaloya area just south

of town, famous as a one-time hideaway of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as for providing a backdrop

for the 1964 film, "Night of the Iguana." This particular iguana, however, made his home in

Mazatlan, our next port-of-call, where these two felines were observed taking an afternoon siesta at the base of the lighthouse. Those brave travelers willing to make the trek to the top,

enduring the overwhelming stench rising from the adjacent sewage treatment plant, are rewarded

with some fairly scenic views of Stone Island. The final stop, and by far the most photogenic, is

the beautiful Cabo San Lucas. Located at the tip of the Baja California peninsula, this area's most striking feature is the array of unusual rock formations making up what is known as

Los Arcos, or The Arches. Also known as Land's End, this geographic marvel also features the

secluded oasis known as Lover's Beach, accessible only by water taxi or other aquatic craft.

As for this final parting shot, rest assured that the man in the red shirt is in no immediate danger.
