Km 72, Carretera Cancun-Chetumal, Riviera Maya Puerto Aventuras, Riviera Maya, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, 77710, 52-984-8751100
Well, we made it into Cancun Airport with little difficulty. Customs was not really an issue, relatively smooth. When we made it to the Hertz counter, they couldn't find our (pre-paid) reservation, and had to enter everything by hand! Needless to say, it took a while to get out of there. We made it onto 307 S (the main highway) and was doing fine untl a massive thunderstorm took over. We think most of the coast's electricity went off, and were frequently worried about floating the car! We saw...

We stopped here to see Tulum which is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city. The ruins are located on a 39 feet (12-meter) cliffs, along the east coast of the peninsula. In order to get to the ruins from the town, we picked up a local bus for the 10 minute ride and then walked to the site and around for a total of 5 miles during the afternoon.
I have included pictures of ...
Today, my husband and I arrived in Cancun international airport after 6 hour flight from Seattle. No hassle going through immigration and custom. However, before going out from the airport, we were greeted by "friendly" people that were selling timeshare. They told us if we were going to use public transportation, they are the only one who can help us with it. I think that's a lie. Since we rent a car ...
Puerto Aventuras, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico amidgett... scene. From the beach bar to the northern end of the beach (where it dead ends at the cliffs) is about 3/5 of a mile each way according to Google Earth. Lots of trash lines the shore as you get closer to the ruins and also a lifeguard stand, which I never noticed before. For lunch we decided to walk to the southern end of the beach - a little under a half mile each way - to eat at the Thai restaurant again, Mezzanine. We split pad Thai with pollo and shrimp ...
Chemuyil, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico chanchemuyil... of the week. Friday, September 12 - Final day and departure flight at 4pm. Chris woke up and added weatherstripping on the doors (thanks Paige!). I can't believe how much work he did on this trip. I was hardly any help with most of it, but I guess it makes up for May when I was on my own. It was exhausting, but he says he had fun. Next time we'll relax in December. We took more photos of the neighborhood and our house, packed the car and left for Cancun airport. Until next time...FESTIVUS!
Chemuyil, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico chanchemuyil... movies until midnight, and with bigger windows to enjoy the scenery and comfortable seats (with foot rests) that give you plenty of leg room and no worries about suffocating the person behind you when you decide to recline all the way for a comfortable snooze. Some even have a waitress on board. Wait, is that politically correct? Bus attendant doesn't sound right, makes it sound more like someone to change the tires instead of pouring ...
Zihuatanejo to Playa del Carmen, Mexico tacoinusa... being on LSD but I can`t vouch for that! All I was thinking of was Homer Simpson when he had the big chili at the fair :) The light is bended when it moves though this and the effect is only spectacular from the cobalt-coloured light that makes it`s way in. But then we entered a huge cave with lots of formations- columns, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, bunches of carrots...I don`t know what else but it sure beat Ailwee cave. Think it ...
Tulum, Mexico heidsontourAn early start was inevitable since the 40 degree sun woke us up bright and early! We headed off to the Tulum ruins. Pretty bloody cool! Nice introduction to Mayan ruins....although not particulary impressive, it is the only coastal ruins on the Yucatan. . Geez, you can definately see why they set up camp here. The beach was AMAZING. Definately the ...
Tulum, Mexico jjstreet... Finally the rain lets up and we are hungry and head out in search of breakfast. We bump into Zach and Corinne and they opt to join us in a couple of minutes. We head out and they will catch up. We had been walking past a quaint little place called Luna Maya ever since we got here, and agree to meet there. It is just past Zahra but not as far as Zamas. Chris and I wait a few minutes out front of Luna Maya, but then decide ...
