We decided to close out our week in Mexico with the Rhythms of the Night show, which a friend back home had recommended to us.

So. Worth. It!

The tour includes an hour-long boat trip across Banderas Bay, conveniently timed for sunset.

… and the real show began. I’m only including a few highlights here. Imagine Cirque du Soleil, but with live Mexican music and in a fully outdoor theatre. Oh, and fire. Lots of fire!

But … wait … the show’s not over yet, folks! The crew put on quite an impressive performance air-guitar and drag performance. All in good fun!
