Back in Town

Yesterday we arrived safely in Guadalajara again after an amazing 10 day trip through the states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo in the South East of Mexico.
Mixture of Spanish colonialism, Mayan culture and incredible nature make this area a very special place on earth.

To show you where we were travelling, more or less :) 

We started in Merida, what is more or less in the center of the peninsula, 3 hours flight from Guadalajara. Then we moved West to Celestun, to continue heading South direction Uxmal, after what we went back northbound to Valladolid. From Valladolid we travelled to Tulum which is surely one of the most amazing places in Latin America. From Tulum we continued our trip to the North, always along the coast, also known as Riviera Maya. We spent as litte time as possible in Cancun and Playa de Carmen as these are real flesh pots full of tourists. The last bit of the trip took us to Isla Holbox what is about 3 hours in bus and 30 min on the ferry away from Cancun.
Of course we visited quite some more places than these few mentioned :) Here the links for those pics.
