On January 22, 2017, the Human Factor television company in the Netherlands created a parody video titled “The Netherlands welcomes Trump in his own words”. It went viral and within a few days it had one million views. We just so happened to stumble on this viral video and to our surprise we found our drone footage in the material. Of course imitation is the best form of flattery but it is also stealing in the digital world without permission. The sad part is they altered the video to remove not just one but two of our logos in the footage.
Here is the information we provided to YouTube:
Here is the original version with the logos intact:
specific timing 1.20-1.23
Modified original posted in video:
specific timing 1.55-1.58
We attempted to contact Human Factor through their website contact form and no reply. In this email we simply asked for a link back to our website for our work and there was no reply. So we reported to YouTube (Google) the copyright infringement. It took two attempts to get our point across but they did eventually take the video offline. Human Factor contacted us to challenge our claim but they knew they were wrong and offered to pay for the footage. We immediately sent them an invoice for fair pay of the footage, nothing outrageous although I was tempted, and they paid immediately.

Meet the other side of Puerto Morelos.
Have you ever heard of the Chicxulub ring? The ring of cenotes that, according to some studies, surrounds the impact of the asteroid that extinguished the dinosaurs more than 70 million years ago. These cenotes were very important for the Maya, since they were considered sacred places; in the cenotes the Mayans carried out different types of rituals, besides that they considered them like the door to the underworld.
.
Near Puerto Morelos there is an astonishing cenote corridor that extends approximately 35 km towards Leona Vicario. This corridor is better known as “The Cenote Trail” where you can find a great variety of underground rivers connected to each other.
Among the activities you can do in these cenotes are: snorkeling, diving, zip line, cycling, abseiling, off-road excursions, diving, and of course, relax in the middle of nature; as well as restaurants and souvenir shops on the way and inside the cenotes. It is important to mention that some of them have entry costs ranging from 80 pesos to 300 pesos per person.
Making this route is very easy, all you have to do is pack your things, prepare your bathing suit, take the highway to Puerto Morelos and follow the signs that will guide you through the Route of the Cenotes.
If you travel from Cancun, the route of the cenotes will be about 35km away and you will see it from your right side, if on the other hand you come from Playa del Carmen drive towards Cancún and reach the roundabout and turn around as if you were back to Playa del Carmen, you move less than a mile and you will find the entrance on your right.
Some of the cenotes you can visit are:
Cenote Las Mojarras
Cenote Siete Bocas
Cenote Boca del puma
Cenote Verde Lucero
Chilam Balam
La Noria (Tres Reyes)
KinHa
Cenote Zapote
We are sure that, like us, you will be fascinated by the magic of this route. The crystal clear water, and the tranquility that emanates these places, will make you understand why these places were so important, and sacred, for our ancestors.
Finally, we would like to remind you that these are ecological places, so it is important to cooperate by using biodegradable sun blocker, and not contaminating the natural areas with garbage.
Prepare your things, and get ready to follow the fascinating Cenotes Trail!

Soliman Bay is a hidden place in the Mayan Riviera that lies between Tulum and Akumal. Departing from Playa del Carmen, it is located about thirty minutes to the south. A perfect location for a quick escape from the city.
You can practice some sports like snorkeling, paddleboard, kayak or simply enjoy the coexistence with nature and feel the Caribbean breeze that runs through your veins.
The Riviera Maya has been a tourist destination of international stature that has been placed in the lists of preferential destinations in Latin America and in the world. Many of its natural features, such as the color of its sea, thin, fine sand, cenotes, jungle, reefs, marine and wild life, place it in the panorama and in the traveler’s favorite destinations. In 2013, 4.1 million tourists were received and the number is increasing every year.
The weather conditions are very good most of the year where temperatures oscillate from 24C-25C.
Soliman Bay is located in a residential community where there are luxury cabanas, bungalows or villas on the shore of the bay. At the end there is a local restaurant where the palm trees give it a tropical Caribbean look. The chamico restaurant, a Yucatecan owner who has been in this area for years, can prepare a fried fish, ceviches, the typical guacamole that you can accompany with beer or fresh tropical fruit juices.
How do you get to Soliman Bay?
If you are coming from Cancun, take the federal highway in the direction of Tulum. Just before arriving in Tulum is the restaurant Oscar & Lalo. On the next return return north and take the right lane. You will find a sign with the name of Bahía de Soliman, there turn towards the sea and you go all right until you hit the Chamico Restaurant.
Look At Soliman Bay From Above!

Playa del Carmen is increasingly offering recreational and fun options to locals and visitors. The new opening of the 3D Museum in Playa del Carmen is beginning to make sense since its inauguration because it is a unique option and is the largest interactive museum in the world drawn by just one artist.
Kurt Wenner, originally from Michigan and known for being the inventor of the interactive 3D pavement art illusions concept, brought his art and creativity to give Playa del Carmen a “plus”. The artist assembles manifestations of perspective, illusion, and geometry along with the techniques of drawing and classical painting. Among the paintings that you can observe and interact in this museum are: Catching the Wave, Flying over the Bosphorous, Breeders’ Cup, among others.
3D Museum of Wonders is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The price is 30 usd for adults and 25 usd for children from 5 to 12 years and on Sundays they have a promotion of 50% discount for the entrance of the premises presenting official identification.
Location: Avenida 10 between Calle 8 and Calle 10, in the center of Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. (Inside the Plaza Pelícanos)
Phone: 01 984 181 7782
Flying over the Bosphorous
The opening of this museum required an investment of one million dollars for its conditioning and promises to be one of the favorite places to visit for those who live here and for those who visit the Riviera Maya.
Quintana Roo is more and more surprising with spaces of entertainment and recreation. Upon entering the museum there is a cinema where documentary art and 3D technical documentaries are projected that will give you a first taste of the concept of this interesting project that came to stay and be the favorite of all lovers of news.
Speed up your mind and play with the different perspectives that artist Kurt Wenner painted on the walls and floors of the 1st 3D museum in Playa del Carmen. Something worth experiencing!
