Washington Adventures is about outdoor activities and adventures, as well as sightseeing and things coach tours of italy to do in the state of Washington ( sometimes about other places I visit ). I try to write about things I personally have done and give my personal insights.
Mexico is one of the most popular tourist countries on earth. Much of the tourist industry is centered around the beach resorts as well as the altiplano in the central part of the country. American tourists tend to predominate on the Baja peninsula and the more modernized beach resorts (Cancún, Puerto Vallarta)
For the last two years, there has been a lot of negative talk about traveling to Mexico. This spring, U.S. issued widest travel warning to Mexico since 2006. The U.S. State Department advised that United States citizens coach tours of italy should avoid all non essential travel to 14 of 31 Mexican states.
Though the General Consul of Mexico, Roberto Rodriguez Hernandez, called the new U.S. warning an exaggeration, traveling to Mexico ( even it s traditional tourist destinations along the Mayan Riviera ) should not be taken lightly.
Personally, it s not my style of traveling. I can hardly spend a few hours on the beach doing nothing. But if you re traveling to the Yucatan Peninsula, staying at one of those all inclusive resorts might be one of your best options. Here is why : Though Mexican coach tours of italy law says that nobody can own a beach in this country, this is just a bunch of BS.
The whole Zona Hotelera in Cancun and Playa Del Carmen is dotted with resorts which closely guard their territory against intruders . They don t have visitor parking, you can t buy shit at their bars and restaurants, and God forbids if you use one of their lounge chairs ( there are guards coach tours of italy every 100 feet which makes you feel like you re in a very luxury prison ).
When you re staying at an all inclusive resort, all ( or most ) drinks, food, activities, rentals are included in the price. Resort staff speaks decent English, can get you a cab, or recommend a restaurant or an activity ( just remember, they DO get paid commission, so it s in THEIR best interest to recommend coach tours of italy you that restaurant, club or a company ).
There are so many things to do and to see in the Yucatan Peninsula, that when I was planning me trip I was overwhelmed with the choices. But keep in mind that many of the same trips are advertised by many different local independent travel reps . You ll see a lot of travel tour booths everywhere, and some of those agents are very annoying. They deliver no value, quite useless, and speak poor English. Usually, the prices are about 10-30% more than what you d normally pay. One of the sites I found useful is Cancun Discounts .
I was advised against exchanging money at banks, yet I found banks that pay the most pesos for your buck. The only disadvantage is that you have to produce your passport ( unlike exchange houses ). Most ATMs at resorts give you American dollars, BUT ! I withdrew $200 , and the commission was $36 ! Street ATMs give you pesos. Credit cards are widely accepted, with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express being the most popular.
coach tours of italy YOU DO NOT have the right of way even in a cross walk or at a red light. Be on the defensive. Taxi bus drivers do not have any education and think that the road holds 3 things; 1) Their vehicle, 2) Their garbage 3) Their right of way. So RUN when crossing the street.
Honestly, I didn t try to communicate with locals, but whenever I needed to buy something, or to be exact, whenever they tried to sell me some crap or to scam a few lousy pesos out of me, they spoke decent coach tours of italy English.
You know the rule of thumbs not to drink in Mexico, but I d also avoid eating authentic/street food . Not because it gives you monster coach tours of italy diarrhea, but simply because coach tours of italy you re not used to this type of food. Elote ( or Esquites ) at Mexico street stands coach tours of italy is one of those things coach tours of italy you must eat in Mexico ( I almost gagged the first time I saw it, but it turned out to be quit delicious ! )
I came back from my trip looking like a fried chicken, with my skin peeling from all that Cancun coach tours of italy sun tanning. If you plan to spend an extensive period in the sun, ease your way into it over a week, use plenty of sunscreen, and avoid using any lotions or creams that contain alcohol.
The final and the most important tip that I d like to share remember, you are going to another country. Don t expect the world to fall at your feet. You can have an amazing cultural experience if you give a little, and in return you ll get a lot! Smile!
