At the beginning, I wasn't quite sure if it would really work to write this blog during my journey and especially to always upload it. I apologize for sometimes making you wait...

At this point, I can only report on the Yucatan Peninsula. We rented a car and never had any problems. The car turned out to be an advantage as many cenotes are not accessible...

Time has passed too quickly and the last days of my journey have arrived. Mom and I treated ourselves to a hotel right on the beach of Puerto Morelos. Before we fly back to...

Due to the wind, it was too cold to swim, so we spent a day at the Xcaret amusement park. The proud admission fee of $99 per person, equivalent to approximately €80, includes...

In general, all-inclusive resorts are limited to three places in the Caribbean. Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. However, it is still tranquil in Tulum. There is a hotel...

We spent the next three days in Mahahual, a place undergoing changes. New hotels are being built everywhere, and more and more tourists are flocking to the village. Especially...

After we had enough of Mayan ruins, we relaxed in Bacalar. The small town is located on the Lagoon of the seven colors. The lake is crystal clear like everything else here and...

Between the Mayan city of Calakmul and Guatemala, there is nothing but a few hundred kilometers of jungle. But the journey to Calakmul was not easy. For 60 kilometers, we drove...

Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico

After visiting Hacienda Xaxcopoil, there were two more Mayan ruins on the itinerary for the day. The first one involved going up high, and the second one involved going down...

One day after our spontaneous visit to Hacienda Teja, we planned to visit Hacienda Xaxcopoil. And no, I didn't misspell the name. (Try pronouncing that name when asking for...

To escape the heat in the streets of Merida, we went to Progreso. This small town is a popular vacation destination for the locals. However, when we arrived, it was completely...

From the once probably most important city of Yucatan we continued to the most important city today. But before that, we passed through Izamal with its enchanting monastery....

Right at the beginning of our journey, one of the highlights awaited us. Chichén Itzá, the best-preserved and restored Mayan ruins. We were there early to avoid the many tour...

In the morning we visited the first Mayan ruins. Ek Balam is not one of the most famous, so we were almost alone at the beginning. The special thing here is that you are still...

Since we wanted to make the most of our three weeks in Mexico, we rented a car. With our small, white car, we went directly to Valladolid, a small town in the inland. We will...

The last country of my trip is Mexico. At first, it was not on my list, but according to many travelers, it should be one of the most beautiful countries. Here I met up with my...

Many were horrified when they heard that I also want to go to Colombia. However, I have already spoken to many travelers who have been to Colombia in advance. After 3 weeks, I...

Religious affairs continued the next day as well. Nici, a student from Finland, and I also went to Monserate. It is a church on one of the highest mountains surrounding Bogota....

A popular day trip from Bogota is the salt cathedral in an old salt mine. Of course, I didn't want to miss this and Iva from Taiwan and I went there together. After 2 hours, we...

From Cartagena, we flew to Bogota, which is 2 hours away. Just like in Medellin, I also did a Free Walking Tour here. For 3 hours, we followed our nice guide David through the...

Since I wanted to learn more about this fascinating city, I booked a Free Walking Tour through the center of Medellin. For those who are not familiar, there is no set price for...

After less than a day in Medellin, I continued on to Guatape. The region is difficult to describe, it's best to just look at the incredibly beautiful photos. ;) As beautiful as...

I deliberately took a few days before writing something about Colombia. It was important for me to first get a feel for this country. Honestly, what do you think when you hear...

Jeder der sowohl weiße Sandstrände als eine große aufregende Metroplod liebt ist in Panama hervoragend aufgehoben. Blickt man jedoch hinter die Kulissen passt nicht alles...

The last stop in Panama for me was Panama City. Why only for me? I am flying to Colombia and Joice and I will meet again in Bogota. Joice will stay in Panama for a few more...

After visiting one of the most famous places in Panama, we continue to Boquete. Here you can hike to the nearby Baru volcano and see both the Caribbean and the Pacific. We were...

After entering Panama without any problems, we continued by bus and boat to the Bocas. This island paradise is especially known for its stilt houses. We stayed in a nice, small...

Since we have already seen a lot in Costa Rica and the country was also a bit expensive for us, we decided to only visit one more place here. Puerto Viejo is one of the last...
