Finally, after more than 1,500 km traveled through the Yucatan Peninsula, we have arrived in Cancun.
We are only going to spend one day here to sample the Caribbean beaches of Cancun and tomorrow at 7:00 in the morning we will be ready to check in to catch the plane to Miami and then catch our final plane to Barcelona.
It has been a spectacular trip much better than expected. We really liked all the flora and fauna of the peninsula and the cities of Valladolid and Mérida are fantastic. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the Mayan archaeological ruins.
I find they are a bit run down and all the business around them is over the top.
Other than that everything has been fantastic, excellent food, magnificent people and spectacular paradisiacal places where you can enjoy life in an authentic way. It is possible that we will return to Yucatan again in the future, but as I have said in several previous Posts, tourist areas should be avoided at all costs. They are centers of pure materialism, the real Yucatan is found in the interior and in the south, near Belize.
