Mexico #1 - Cancun

Публикувано: 17.10.2019

Welcome to Mexico!

Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula offers an incredible density of different attractions. Above all, dreamy beaches, lively underwater worlds, Mayan ruins, and cenotes. We want to tell you all about them from our next stops.

After a one-hour flight, we landed in Cancun on the evening of September 26th. Thanks to the low flight altitude, we had a great view of Cuba and the surprisingly heavily forested Yucatan Peninsula. Since we will be traveling the next six countries by land, this should have been the last flight for the next four or six months.


Cancun

Cancun is one of the largest tourist centers in Latin America. The huge hotel complexes are very frequented by American package tourists.


Fortunately, due to the hurricane season, it is currently off-season here, so we are spared larger crowds and high prices. However, Yucatan can be recognized by the traces of the enormous tourist streams in the form of good infrastructure and organization.


Although we had already set aside a time window of about three weeks for Mexico's famous peninsula, we had only vague ideas about what we wanted to see. So, on the first day, in addition to procuring Mexican pesos and SIM cards, we mainly spent time planning and organizing a possible travel route.

Isla Mujeres

Before the trip through Mexico should really start, we made a day trip to Isla Mujeres, located off Cancun. We were amazed by various shades of turquoise and blue already on the ferry.



Playa del Norte in the north of the small island occasionally appears on lists of the world's most beautiful beaches. It is undoubtedly a dream beach, but the water is crowded with yachts, which somewhat spoils the scene. We enjoyed the sunset with beautiful live music before taking the ferry back to Cancun.



The next morning, we left Cancun behind after more nights than planned. The famous Riviera Maya had already given us a great taste of what to expect in the next few weeks.


Greetings!
