I saw a photo from Tulum Mexico once- the Mayan ruins on the cliff by the ocean and decided I wanted to go there some time.
So there I was on a bus heading from Bacalar to Tulum. Arriving at my hotel at Tulum I am told there is a festival going on next door and they would be playing music until 5:00 am. I ate late lunch and headed for the bus station- bought a ticket to Valladolid, which is a small city in the colonial style which lies close to Chichen Itzá.
It’s Saturday March 18th 2017 and I am still in Valladolid, though at a different hotel.
Thursday I took a trip arranged by MexiGo to Chichen Itzá. I shared the tour with a honeymoon couple and had a fantastic day.
We got to the site early in the morning and it is simply amazing. Much different than Tikal.
After exploring Chichen Itzá (with our guide and then later on our own) we went to swim in a Cenote and have lunch there as well.
It is an incredible feeling to swim in a cenote – the huge rock formations on the sides, the light reflecting, dragonflies buzzing around and this divine refreshing water.
