Living in Mexico is an adventurous tale to do because of the variety of things, the beauty of the country and the friendliness of its people. I am originally from Ohio but lived considerable time in Mexico, the study of nature and history of this beautiful place. Here are some ideas and suggestions I got from there that you may have learned your next trip to the Yucatan peninsula settings.
With the public bus system is infinitely cheaper than taxis everywhere. If you are lookingprices for transport to and from the airport by bus to downtown Playa del Carmen and Cancun. It 's easy and bus stops are centrally located in both cities. You can choose to drive a bus with air conditioning for a small amount more than the bus without air conditioning. Let me, which left at most. There are bus schedules posted for local or across the country. The best coaches when I was there were plush tour buses for longer trips, called ADO.Really nice bus that cost more but worth it.
If you are dialing in Mexico, buy a phone card and from any phone booth. They can be used to call internationally. The locals, many of whom are no phones in their homes, they use all the time. Can be purchased at Casas de Cambio (places where you can exchange your money into Mexican pesos). A note on the exchange of money to see who are seeking the best exchange rates, because it can vary placeto place.
Those who do not dive can enjoy the beauty of the underwater coral gardens and countryside through snorkeling. To dive shops and ask what they offer excursions for snorkeling, or ask your reception of the village, where you can sign up for snorkeling at the hotel there. Wear sunscreen during this day trip count is not a white T-shirt to protect you, because it does not. If you do not have sun protection, return lobster, trust me.
A word to avoidTourist (Montezuma's revenge, the trots tourist). This bacterial infection is often very unpleasant for travelers. To avoid spending more than a relaxing holiday in the bathtub, you should not eat raw fruits (unless it is already peeled), or drink, ice, not round, with a hole in it (purified Water Cube). The large resort food safe, as I lived. I have a couple before he was in Mexico and never to eat sicktheir food or drink. Big Resorts precautions against contaminated food and drinks. But outside on the street, the bacteria floating in the Taco food is offered (and I love this, among other things), and where the fruit is sold. If you buy the peel fruit before eating. If it is not deductible, then forget it. Drinking purified bottled water at all times. If you plan day trips in the heat, bring a gallon jug of water, you will need.
Hire only qualified tour guide throughreputable 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 guide who meet in places like the ruins of Coba, Chichen Itza and Tulum approach, for example. Going with a group of tourists to these places. I liked the Apple Tour, but there are many others that are good, too. Ask to see who are the most highly recommended. Chichen Itza is a large site,worthy to see when you choose to become a spectacle. The pyramid called El Castillo, is spectacular. I have been there and on top (steep stairs lead up to a few small rooms above, where the nobility would have been rituals, etc.) (very, incredibly claustrophobic when you bravely decide the narrow staircase inside) take a camera L 'arrest in a nearby hotel for lunch if you can. It 'was a show where dancers entertain in us as our clothing mayaGroup eaten. It 'been a good break from the heat of the visit of this ancient city. Word to the wise would be a family of VAT to get the size of sunscreen is not a bad idea. And as much water as possible. Walking around all day to drain the land and cook when you're not careful.
Check out the cenotes (lakes of brackish water in the jungle), reachable by bus or taxi, at the corridor Playa del Carmen to Tulum. I liked the cenote Dos Ojos or Cenote Azul. Cenotes tightennature, and while their visit, I saw a great variety of flora and fauna of basilisk lizards, a diving duck. Cenotes are the entry points to the caves, the only diving safety with certified experts. Under the Yucatan Peninsula is a large network of underground caves that you want to explore the more experienced divers. Not groped this dive alone, because it is dangerous. If you see what you want is an underground cave, go near the parkXcaret, where underwater caves in to swim to the public
Speaking of Xcaret is a must visit if you love nature. 'S full of educational activities and to make things fun for the whole family. Expect to spend a whole day there. This is to swim with dolphins, horseback riding, exploring an ancient Mayan village of Maya dance, snorkeling to see a large lagoon, all built in the jungle. It 's a place of first class, and also has its own small zoo, butterfly gardenand aviary. So I used to be the main signatory to the park years ago. The restaurants are full of atmosphere and the food is good. Do not forget to see the musicians do their Maya exhibition flight, which is made all day. Embark on a pole, and "fly" down while playing their instruments while hanging on ropes through the ankle. You will not see anything like this in this region. Xcaret has a variety of natural history specimens near their large gift shop. This is a"Must" for all.
If you want to travel by boat fun, go to Playa Linda (in the hotel zone of Cancun) and hops a boat to Isla Mujeres. Aqua Tours has a luxury yacht that goes there a few times a day. On the way to the island, with drinks, the staff managed by and get a great view of the coast of Cancun. Once in Isla Mujeres, you travel to places like Tortugranja (a sea turtle farm, where she threatened turtles taken to increasesmall and large), or Hacienda Mundaca (an alleged former estate of ex-pirate who built it for his love interest, according to local legend). They offer snorkeling, too. It 's a fun day and the mall is pretty good as well as Sardinia.
Another interesting place to visit is Roo Merida, capital of Quintana (Cancun, where he is). It reminded me of Europe, with its beautiful, large villas, terraces and magnificent buildings. There is theU.S. Embassy, among others. If you replace a passport lost or talk to embassy officials need this is where you want to go. It 'a very international, it is worth a very long journey by bus from Cancun.
Downtown Cancun has some interesting places for shopping. It is authentic food and crafts on the Plaza 2000 or see Chedraui (a department / store) or Pelicano (unless other general merchandise). I have not since the hurricane has been devastating for Cancunthere, make sure that these places are still in operation, if so, are definitely worth a go. Take a bus or a taxi to such locations, an "authentic" Mexican. Just stay in the hotel zone is fun, but not a piece of Mexican daily life. Try some great food stand where the locals go. I like the chicken cooked on a spit everywhere, called "Pollo Rojo (chicken red) because of the spices used. It is trying to die and incredibly cheap. When you see people on the streettry selling tamales are excellent and very affordable. I could just eat my way through life Mexican tamales (meat in a corn-based "cake") and empanadas (meat turnovers) alone. When you buy baked goods in Mexico in mind to grocery stores, they use much less sugar than Americans, have used in their recipes. I like the concave shape, such as bread bowls. If you want candy, cakes, now marketed under the brand name
"Bimbo" (yes, the name isit). This is a great bread and snack producer in Mexico.
Enjoy your stay in the beautiful Riviera Maya. Walking the beaches and admire the beautiful turquoise water, it really is paradise. Enjoy the hospitality of the Mexican people are friendly and helpful. Remember to have fun, but remember that it is a foreign country to obey, so their laws and to be respectful, the differences in culture. If you go, you'll want to go again and again. So I did. The more you drive, find out more. Homein Yucatan was an unforgettable experience is the visit so make it a memorable trip for you to see as much as possible. You will not be disappointed.
