The Mayan ancient culture scent is still hidden in the jungle of my beautiful and exotic land. You may have heard of the cities Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, but our Riviera Maya is SO much more than that. Sun, beach, party, yes. But also history, culture, nature, relax, sports and more. Our Yucatan's Peninsula has tons of beautiful "Pueblos Mágicos". An official term given by the goverment, Ministry of Tourism, to some really magical small towns. This land is also rich in mangroves, jungle, cenotes, exotic animals, delicious food, and a forever summer weather so even in November, you can enjoy the sun with a drink at the pool. Even if you came before to Mexico, I dare you to rediscover my land. Live the present, make the tomorrow an unforgettable adventure. "Look first at what you do, so you don't regret it later" Ancient Mayan proverb
About me: I was proudly born in Cancun. I've spent most of my life here. I studied 2 degrees. Tourism & Hostelery, and Fashion Design. So I had the time and interest to visit a lot of my surroundings in the past while studying, working and just for pleasure. And even so, there's still places I need to visit. I love to do cross fit and I want to share with you my Box in Cancun! It is affiliated to Crossfit trademark (USA). Only certified coaches teach in here with a very high level of knowledge and experience. You will energize and get the experience of a warm Mexican crew of crossfiters. I did a cool selection of places to see in this trip, so you can get a real flavor of what Mexico has to offer at Riviera Maya. I can't wait to show you these collections of Mayan & Modern Jewels.
Most of our accommodations are room hotels. A few are hostels. I selected them in order to be as close as possible to our activities, easy access and easy to move. FLIGHTS: If you find a flight arriving in the morning or early afternoon, that would be perfect! For departure, if you find options of the afternoon is perfect. If not, don’t worry, we will make it work. We will be moving by car. So we will enjoy a road trip! Main reason why the maximum number of TripMates is set only to 3 - 4 spots! So we are comfortable all the time. We will need to collab with the gas and road fees during the trip. LUGGAGE: I highly recommend you to travel only with 1 carry on and 1 bag as a maximum since we will have a sedan style car. So all our luggage will need to fit the entire trip. Remember, our hot and fresh weather allow you to use light clothing. I will tell you a fast and easy way to go from the airport to downtown and then hotel, or I can arrange you a driver to pick you from airport directly to our hotel (extra cost). Same options are for your departure.
