SANDRINE’S TRIP

TO YUCATAN, MEXICO.

8 NIGHTS/4 STOPS

 

Cenote-Diving-Mayan culture

Sandrine and Stéphane, with their twins Lise & Guillaume, went for a 8 days trip to Yucatan. They were looking for a change of scenery and sunshine in winter. They enjoyed Mayan culture, diving in the Cenotes, Tulum’s white sandy beaches, good food, and the warmth of the locals. They discovered the unique Chichen Itza site. It is the 2nd most visited archeological site of Mexico today and one of the new seven wonders of the world. They traveled in April. Their budget for the whole trip was around $ 1560 per person for 8 nights (excluded food and activities).

GOOD TO KNOW

 
– Staying in Valladolid to visit Chichen Itza  is a very good idea. You avoid the touristic and crowded town of Chichen Itza.
– It’s worth to get up early to drive to Chichen Itza to avoid the crowd again and to be the first to enter the park
– Many many Cenotes (a natural sinkhole created where a cave ceiling has collapsed) in this area…just stop in function of your inspiration in one of them. You might discover a hidden secret far from the crowd.
– Our favorite Cenote with the nicest view was the Gran Cenote.
– Be aware that many Boutique Hotels in Holbox are adults only.
