I spent four nights at a great accommodation and was invited to home-made dinner by the family every time I stepped into the door. They were outstandingly hospitable, and I felt...

After the beach in Akumal got too crowded, we took a taxi to the Yal Ku Lagoon. Our taxi driver offered to take us to a family's house that is located directly on the lagoon,...

Akumal, which means 'Where the turtles live' in English, is located about a half an hour drive from Playa del Carmen. As the name suggests, you can see turtles there, so we pack...

Our third and unfortunately last tour with Aledia took us to the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve. We were picked up at the hotel early in the morning at 5:30 am. Definitely not my...

After spending a while at the first cenote, we continued to the next one. This one was even deeper in the jungle and was privately owned. That means, this cenote was not open to...

Of course, we also had some beach days. These days were quite relaxed because we mostly spent them lying comfortably with a good book on the beach or by the pool, cooling off in...

23rd February 2018 My Polish friend Michal, whom I met last year in Ecuador, suggested that we meet in Bacalar today. He would hitchhike about 500 km from Palenque in the...

Kathi and I learned how to prepare our favorite Mexican dishes from professional chef Alejandra. The absolute highlight: homemade tortillas.

'Short vacation' on a Mexican island in the Caribbean

In Palenque, we spontaneously decided on the jungle tour with a subsequent journey to San Cristobal. This was definitely a cheaper but NOT comfortable option as it turned out...

Hi guys, in the last report I wrote about how happy we are to go to Palenque, because of the 'stress' in Mexico City ... Why? because nobody is busy there. Palenque is a small...

The first days in Cancun, Mexico

Actually, I wanted to write this post last week, but better late than never: Here's a report of my experiences on the National Day, September 16, which is celebrated big in...
