Two great friends of ours from Seattle, Tommy and Regina, came to visit us and we made sure to try and show them as much as possible in 1 week. Sadly for them, the water here is a bit cold right now as it is “winter” in Mexico. I think the consensus was though that it was still beautiful and much warmer than Seattle.
We managed to hit Xpu-Ha beach in Akumal, explore Playa Del Carmen for a day, drive to Vallodolid to see the city and Chitzen Itza, swim in Ik Kil Cenote, Explore/shop in Tulum, take a Catamaran trip to Isla Mujeres with snorkeling and eat many great meals!
Chitzen Itza was somewhere we hadn’t been before so we were very happy to check that off our list of things we should have done but hadn’t.
We stopped at Ik Kil Cenote on the way back from Chitzen Itza and it did not disappoint. It was extremely beautiful but VERY cold. I didn’t manage to get any photos but look it up online, it’s worth a visit.
We were really happy they loved it here and they say they are planning to come back Summer of 2020 (it will be MUCH WARMER then!). Can’t wait!
Safe travels!
