Living in Mexico is a fairy tale adventure, to be done because of the variety of things, the beauty of the country and the friendliness of its people. I am originally from Ohio, but spent considerable time living in Mexico, the study of nature and history of this beautiful place. Here are some ideas and tips that I learned from there that can help your next trip to the Yucatan Peninsula.
With the public bus system is infinitely less than the taxi everywhere. If you are lookingmore convenient for transportation to the airport by bus to downtown Playa del Carmen or Cancun. It 's easy and bus station are located in both cities. You can choose to drive a bus with air conditioning for a small amount more than the bus is not air conditioned. I want one that left most likely. There are bus schedules posted for mass transit throughout the country. The best coaches there when I was there the plush tour buses for longer trips, called ADO.Really nice, that buses are more expensive, but worth it.
If you need to make calls to Mexico, buy a phone card and from any phone. Can also be used to call internationally. The locals, many of whom do not have telephones in their homes, they use all the time. Can be used in Casas de Cambio (places where you can exchange your money into Mexican pesos, buy). A reference to the exchange of money, to check, look for the best rates of return, because it can vary placeokay.
Those who do not seem to enjoy the beauty of the underwater world of coral gardens and countryside through snorkeling. Scuba shops go and ask what trips for snorkeling, or offer, ask your reception in the village where you can register for snorkelling at the hotel. Wear sunscreen, while this counting the days, not with a white shirt to protect yourself, why not. If you do not have sun, you lobster back, trust me.
A word to avoidTourist (Montezuma's Revenge, the trots tourism). This bacterial infection often very unpleasant happen to travelers. To avoid recover most of your vacation in the bathroom, I do not recommend eating fruit first (if not already peeled), or drink beverages, ice cream, which is not his round with a hole (purified water, ice cubes ). The resort is large "food safety, for all I know. I was sick a few, before moving to Mexico and never came to eatTheir food or drink. Big Resorts precautions against contaminated food and beverages. But out in the street, the bacteria float in the food chain has offered the taco (and I love that, among other things), and where fruit is sold. If you purchase fruit, shells before eating. If it is not deductible, then forget it. Drinking purified bottled water at any time. If you are day trips in the heat, go get a gallon jug of water, you may need.
Hire only qualified tour guideknown agencies (usually through the hotel or your travel agent) found. Do not use a professional tour guide because I was told when living there, making some information as they go forward. independent tour guide will lead you to places like the ruins of Coba, Chichen Itza and Tulum approach, for example. Go with a group of tourists to these places. I liked the tour of Apple, but there are many others that are good, too. Ask to see who can advise you more. Chichen Itza is a great placeworth seeing if it will be a sight to behold choose. The pyramid called El Castillo, is spectacular. I was (very, incredibly claustrophobic when bravely narrow staircase) and top (steep stairs up to a couple of small rooms on the top, would decide where to perform rituals nobility, etc.) Take a camera and stop at nearby hotel for lunch if you can. It 'was an entertaining show in which costumed dancers Maya as ourAte group. It 'been a good break from the heat of the tour of this ancient city. Word to the wise offers a family-size sunscreen VAT would not be a bad idea. And as water as possible. dry walk around the site all day and cook when you're not careful.
Check out the cenotes (lakes of brackish water in the jungle), reachable by bus or taxi down the hall Playa del Carmen and Tulum. I want to go to Cenote Azul cenote Dos Ojos o. Cenotes winnature, and during their visit, I saw a fascinating variety of flora and fauna of basilisk lizards to a diving duck. Cenotes are the entry points to the caves, the only sure way with certified dive experts. Under the Yucatan Peninsula is a large network of caves to explore the more experienced divers. Not groped this dive alone, because it is dangerous. If you see what looks like an underground grotto, go near the parkXcaret, swim underwater caves to the public in
Speaking of Xcaret is a must visit if you love nature. It 'full of educational activities and things to do are fun for the whole family. Expect to spend a whole day. It is swimming with dolphins, horseback riding, exploring an ancient Mayan village, as Maya dance, snorkeling in a large lagoon, all built in the jungle. This is a privileged position, and also has a small zoo, butterfly gardenand aviary. I know I'm the chief designer for years ago from the park. The restaurants are full of atmosphere and the food is good. Do not forget to see the Mayan musicians have their exhibition flight, which is doing all day. You start at the top of a pole, and "fly" down their tools during the game while hanging by their ankles ropes. You will not see anything like this from this region. Xcaret has a variety of natural history specimens near their great gift shop. This is a"Must" for all.
If you want a fun ride on the boat Playa Linda (in the Hotel Zone of Cancun) and hops a boat to Isla Mujeres. Aqua Tours has a large luxury yacht that goes beyond a couple of times a day. On the way to the island, you will be drinks are served, maintained by the staff and get a splendid view of the coast of Cancun. Once at Isla Mujeres, you will be taken trips to places like Tortugranja (a herd of turtles, where he Sea Turtles threatened by increasingsmall and large), or Hacienda Mundaca (an alleged former property of a former pirate who built it for his love interest, according to local legend). They offer snorkeling, too. This is a one day trip can, and spending is quite good even on the Island.
Another interesting place to visit Roo, Merida, capital of Quintana (Cancun, where). It reminded me of Europe, with its beautiful villas, spacious terraces and magnificent palaces. There you will findUnited States Embassy, among others. If you are a passport lost or embassy personnel have to replace talk, this is where you want to go. It 's a very international city, is worth a very long bus trip from Cancun.
Downtown Cancun has a couple of interesting places to shop. There are authentic foods and crafts on the square in 2000, or see Chedraui (a department / grocery), or Pelicano (another store goods in general). I have not been since the devastating hurricane in CancunHere, check these sites are still running, if so, it will certainly be worth it. Take a bus or taxi to such locations, an "authentic" Mexican to learn from experience. Just stay in the hotel zone is fun, but not a piece of Mexican daily life. Try some great food stands where locals go. I like the chicken cooked on a spit everywhere, called "Chicken Rojo (chicken red) because of the spices used. It 's incredibly cheap and die. If you can see how people on the streetSales try tamales are excellent and very convenient. I could just eat my way through the life of Mexico tamales (meat in a corn-based "cake") and empanadas (meat turnover) alone. If you buy baked goods at grocery stores in Mexico, remember that they are much less sugar Americans are accustomed to use their recipes. I like the concave shape, such as bread bowls. If you want candy, buy the cake with the brand
"Bimbo" (yes, this is the nameit). This is a major producer of bread and snacks in Mexico.
Enjoy your stay in the beautiful Riviera Maya. Walk the beach and admire the beautiful turquoise water, is truly paradise. Enjoy the hospitality of the Mexican people friendly and helpful. Remember to have fun, but remember, it's a foreign country, to obey its laws and respect differences of culture. If you go, you go to again and again. I know I did. The higher you climb, the more. Know Living in Yucatan was an unforgettable experience to visit, to make an unforgettable journey through See for yourself how much of it as you can. You will not be disappointed.
