My second time in Mexico, one year after Yucatan and Quintana Roo! While I was there, I met two super nice guys who could not stop speaking about their weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca. They were efficient, I booked my two-week trip not much later! I landed in Tuxtla Gutierrez airport from Cancun (120€ for 2 and one baggage on hold with Vivaaerobus) and took … Continue reading 2 weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico

We took a taxi (18€, pre-booked inside … Continue reading 5 days in Chiapas, Mexico

But let me tell you, Mexico didn’t disappoint! 2 days in Puerto … Continue reading 2 weeks in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico

Several ADO (and second-class) buses arrive here from Cancun, Merida, Playa del Carmen and Valladolid. A ferry leaves every half an hour (2 companies run every hour) from 6am to 10pm- … Continue reading 2 days in Isla Holbox, Yucatan, Mexico
