I came to Mexico on a trip following La Ruta Maya visiting Mayan Cities thoughout Yucatan and Chiapas provinces and Guatamala.
We started at Merida and visited Uxmal, Campeche, Palenque, San Cristobal and then over the border to Guatemala.
After visiting Lago Atitlan, Antigua, Guatemala City, Livingstone, Flores and Tikal we drove north through Belize and back into Mexico to visit Tulum and Chichen Itza.(or Chicken Pizza as our guide liked to call it!) |
The Good bits The colourful towns
The fabulous monuments -especially Palenque
Saturday night fiesta in Merida
Mexican Food
Mexican beer -oh so cheap!
Salsa (the food not the dance)
The beach at Tulum |
The bad bits It can be very hot and humid
Getting beaten up by the surf at Tulum cos I'm no good at body surfing!
Lots of tourists at Chichen Itza getting in the way of a good photograph.
Watch for food poisoning - my friend got sick and ended up in hospital |

Hola. Next time you're in Mexico, check out Loreto BCS. The formerly "sleepy" fishing village is beginning to really get the hard core "tourists". The kind that stay for a month or so... | VeronicaG Thu Mar 1, 2007 14:32 UTC
Tulum does look like an inviting place--no wonder you'd like to return! A small room that opens to the beach sounds almost like heaven...very nice page. | MM212 Thu Nov 23, 2006 02:08 UTC
