Travel America

Many dream of dropping everything and just traveling around the world. It's a common dream, but few imagine embarking on that journey by bicycle. Exposed to the elements, legs burning, all your possessions strapped to you and your bicycle - it doesn't paint a relaxing picture, but this is just what Pierre-Yves Tremblay did.

Alaska and Canada are possibly two of the most picturesque places in North America. They are both great places to travel to get away from it all and simply take a breath of fresh air. There are breathtaking landscapes, wilderness, Northern lights, beautiful glaciers, and laid-back cities to visit. For many good reasons, Alaska and Canada are on the top of many travelers’ lists.

In Sidewalking, David L. Ulin offers a compelling inquiry into the evolving landscape of Los Angeles. Part personal narrative, part investigation of the city as both idea and environment, Sidewalking is many things: a discussion of Los Angeles as urban space, a history of the city's built environment, a meditation on the author's relationship to the city, and a rumination on the art of urban walking.

In this abridgement of River-Horse, the pre-eminent chronicler of American back roads - who has given us the classics Blue Highways and Prairyerth - recounts his singular voyage through American waters from sea to sea.

In recent years, Billy Connolly has had more than his share of challenges - in 2013 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer (he's now been given the all clear); on the same day he was diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson's disease. But being a determined 72-year-old, Billy won't let the illness put him off one more exploration of the country he knows and loves so well.

Ever since I cycled down the west coast of Canada and the United States as a means of saving the bus fare on a round-the-world trip, I dreamed of cycling the whole length of that landmass, from the southern tip of South America all the way up to the Arctic Ocean. Returning home to a job I didn’t enjoy, that dream burned at my mind until, as a mature student in 1999, I was given the opportunity to take a year out and decided now was my time.

La Ciudad de México late al ritmo de mandíbulas triturando comida, paladares degustando sabores, cucharones revolviendo ollas, carritos haciendo sonar sus vapores... Aquí hay una variedad de sabores para aquel a quien le suene la tripa. En ¡A mordidas! Comer a toda hora en la CDMX, Ana Paula Tovar prueba los sabores de la madrugada a la trasnoche por las calles chilangas y demuestra que en la capital de la garnacha se come rico a toda hora.

Esta es una serie sobre la ciudad que es una y muchas a la vez. En el capítulo principal, Isaac Torres, artista, escritor y gestor cultural con estudios en urbanismo y un profundo conocimiento sobre el Defectuoso, describe los territorios que habitamos lxs chilangxs, sus puntos neurales y su evolución. Y, además, recorre las ciudades que hay dentro de la ciudad.

La ciudad es bebedora por excelencia: desde unas chelas hasta exquisitos cócteles, pasando por bebidas tradicionales como el mezcal, y de los dioses como el pulque, en CDMX se bebe 24/7. En este número, revisamos la historia del Tenampa, emblemático salón que nos antoja un tequila bien servido, para salir después a la plaza Garibaldi, territorio de mariachis; recorrer emblemáticas cantinas del Centro Histórico, y descubrir brebajes como el tepache o los tragos clásicos: un old fashioned, un negroni, un daikiri. También, el trago más sabroso: una cuba de ron con coca, a veces pintadita.

Distintos proyectos de investigación con impronta chilanga imaginan nuevas respuestas para el abastecimiento del agua, el desarrollo de nuevos combustibles, los procesos electorales transparentes o la conquista espacial. Conocer quiénes están detrás de estas investigaciones y cuál es su impacto en nuestras vidas es clave para entender el papel fundamental de la ciencia y la tecnología en nuestro bienestar personal y social.

No importa la época del año, es momento de sacudirse la polilla, salir del sillón, y empezar a hacer actividad física para ser personas más saludables. Por eso, en esta serie te presentamos 10 ejercicios que puedes practicar en la CDMX para entrarle de lleno a la vida fit; mientras recordamos que actividades como correr, nos permiten conocer la ciudad, explorarla, conectar con uno mismo y hacer comunidad. Y si ni así te convencemos para que te actives, te decimos dónde puedes jugar al juego de pelota como nuestros ancestrxs prehispánicxs.

En esta nueva serie hacemos el delicioso ejercicio de la exploración garnachera dividiendo la ciudad en quince zonas y quince taquerías que nos dieron los quince tacos más chilangos. Desde las taquerías de barrio, hasta las más nuevas, de cadena, te decimos los tacos más grasabrosos de la CDMX y además, Alonso Ruvalcaba reflexiona de lo democrático de esta comida para todes.

En la ciudad fuimos, somos y seremos. Hijes, padres, madres, progenitores, abuelxs. Vivimos todes en un encuentro de tiempos mismo del que son testigos espacios donde baile, comida, juego y amor, se convierten en motores que nos unen, y con los que superamos las diferencias.

Charles Darwin was just 22 when he went on his first voyage around the world in 1831. Darwin's father at first refused to allow his young son to go on the voyage.
