Travelogues Yucatán

Let's see how I'll look in a year

The town of Valladolid in the center of the Yucatan region was finally what I imagined a real Mexican town to be like - with small colorful houses and a colonial-style...

The next day we headed towards the Gulf of Mexico at 7 o'clock. Flamingos, lots of other animals and especially pink water were promised to us. Cenotes were also on the plan,...

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...

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...

With cornflakes in our stomachs, we got ready for a long drive to Chichén Iza. We drove for about 2:30h until we reached one of the 7 Mexican wonders. The pyramid is the only...

The second most important meal of the day was the second breakfast! I had a conversation with Clemente from Mexico City on Saturday in Merida over a coffee and a croissant. He...

In Mérida, the capital of Yucatan, we had a simple room with a private bathroom at Siesta Fiesta Hostel, 30 Euros for the room for two nights. Super cheap. At first, we relaxed...

Actually, the plan was to take a round on the Yucatan Peninsula, i.e. to travel from Campeche to Santa Elena and from there to visit the Maya ruins of Uxmal. Unfortunately, we...

We were completely speechless due to the national pride of the Mexicans - pure goosebumps!

A visit to the beautiful underworld of the Maya

Next up was Mérida. We started our trip to the capital of Yucatán without any big expectations. Originally planned for just one night, our stay turned into nearly 3.5 weeks -...

Originally, we wanted to study, but a weekend in Mérida is also perfect for a day trip. For example, to the flamingos and mangroves in Celestún - 1.5 hours north of Mérida. ...

From Palenque, we took another overnight bus to Mérida, the capital of the state of Yucatán on the Yucatán Peninsula. And thus, into the most touristy region of Mexico. There is...

Maya ruins, cenote fun, charming small towns - a perfect weekend trip

Since we realized pretty quickly that we didn't fit in in Cancun, we set off towards Mexico City. By bus, of course 😅. First stop - Valladolid! Here we rent bikes again and...

Before breakfast, I leave the hostel to make my way to Chichén Itzá. I want to arrive before the many other visitors who are being herded by various tour operators. I was...

Kayaking during sunset through the idyllic mangrove landscape in Chuburná

Very early in the morning, we took a bus to Chichen Itza. During the journey, we received a lot of information about the historical site and the Maya people who once lived...

Soaking up the sun, cooling off in the sea, dozing in the sun, chatting, making plans for our next trips, having fresh fish for lunch

So Malte said goodbye, we had a day of Spring Break, wild. I don't need it, but it was probably quite funny. So out of Cancun, we are once again a mixed group, USA, Canada,...

Friday I took the bus from Tulum to Merida and my start to the city wasn't the best. For one thing, I felt the need to go home all day. The skydive was like the culmination of...

Mérida is the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán. It is much more bustling here. On the first evening, I participate in the 'Free Tour', where I get a small impression of...

Mitten im Zentrum von Valladolid befindet sich der Cenote Zaki. Der Eintritt kostet 30 Pesos (ca. 1,50 Euro) und als ich gegen 9:30 Uhr eintreffe, bin ich noch alleine dort....

Arriving in Mérida at 7 o'clock in the morning, the four of us were able to take a taxi directly to the hotel, where we were greeted with breakfast. At 9 o'clock, we joined a...

A day trip to Maya ruins in the vicinity of Mérida.

Somehow I accidentally deleted the post from Day 16. So here's the summary again: Chichén Itzá was impressive, the most important Maya site in Mexico. However, there were a lot...

Today's day included too much adventure even for me...😅 I left the hotel in Querétaro at 7:30am. About 60km before the Mexico City airport, there was something on the highway...
