Hola, amigos! Of you're interested in learning more about travel on the Yucatan Peninsula, here's a playlist with tons of vlogs, beautiful places and useful travel tips! Hope you enjoy! ruclips.net/p/PLqq6_D8cgsodB5444NwEXnCNECUIMi_bL&si=01ij_3Ru-LjHA0cb
This was such a great video! I loved it!! You've given such a fantastic overview of the Riviera Maya and the tiers were so helpful. Plus, these are all just great memories. ;)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts bro! I really appreciate it. I wanted to ask you. Is there a place where you can still find those underground techno parties you would go to instead of tulum? Definitely visiting some of the spots you recommended. Thank you 🙏
Hey Rommel! Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I appreciate you viewing and enjoying! I think it's pretty easy to find parties all around the Riviera Maya, but they're hardly underground anymore because it's just so ubiquitous. I'd say Cancun and Playa del Carmen would be your best bets, as there's always something going on there. If you ask around at the hostels they might know of interesting upcoming events (such as out of town parties, for example)
Hi! I didn't get to go to Isla Mujeres, but from what I've researched and heard from other travelers I think it might be worth it as a close day trip, as long as you don't mind paying the ferry, which can be somewhat pricey. About 400 pesos there and back per person, last I saw. Are you thinking of going?
Thank you for watching, Cesar! The magic of travel is that everybody has different experiences in the same places, and I can only speak to my experience. Please send me your video when you have it, I'd be interested to see it! Abrazo hermano!
So sad to hear than one of my favorite places in the Caribean has been turned into a 'Hot Tropical Garbage'. It doesn't surprise me though, since Tulum always attracted the unwanted people from CanCun. I first visited the place when CanCun had just been created by the Mexican Government and Tulum was only a small Fishing Village in between the Jungle and the eternal Blue Sea. Besides its then pristine beaches, the only attraction was the amazing Mayan Ruins. The best place to take the most beautiful shots in the whole Caribbean Sea. I'm glad I had the chance to see it before it was destroyed by the developers and their greed. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us Miguel. Cheers
Hey Carrie! Glad to you stop by again, amiga! The "Hot Tropical Garbage" label was meant as a joke for the lower tier but I feel the same way as you. Tulum was actually the place where I decided I would turn my life around and start traveling. It's a place of great experiences and transformations in my life, but this last time I visited there was no getting around the fact that the magic was squashed by all these outsiders who only wanted to exploit the beauty that was once there. I couldn't even access the beach, it's all been privatized, despite it being against Mexican law. From what you're saying, it seems like you really got to experience Tulum before this change. In the end, travel marks not only the places we visit, but the times we were there too. And no amount of change will take that away. It's still a nice place to be, but it is very different from what it used to be. Hope you're happy and safe travels! 🌎

@@ramblingandroving I'm glad to hear that, but nothing can compare to the true paradise Cancun and Tulum used to be a few decades ago. To give you an idea of what Can-Cun (as it used to be spelled b4) was like when I first visited the Island (still isolated from the mainland) with my father (one of the original Urban Planners working for the Gov of Mexico to develop the newly created complex-resort on paper), there were only two buildings in the entire place, the "Hotel El Presidente", and the beautiful "Centro de Convenciones" on the northern tip of the lengthy Island. The rest? was a huge expansion of land full of white dunes, as soft and shiny as talcum powder (they couldn't be seeing without sunglasses without hurting the eyes), but hot, scalding hot. Nothing else. When I see or hear how different these two places look today, It saddens me greatly to realize that nothing will be the same, and can only be enjoyed in the depths of my beautiful memories. Thank you for aiding in getting them afloat. Great travelings. Cheers (BTW, Carrie is for Carl....)
Heya! I haven't been there (literally, the one place on the peninsula 😆), so I couldn't speak to it as a destination. Most people would consider it an attraction to do out of Cancun, as it's so close.

Thanks for the picture, Carl. What a privilege to have been able to see it as you did! I really wish I'd gotten to see the coast before all the development arrived. I really love the peninsula, and I feel as affected as you by how quickly things are changing (even from what I've known). Abrazo, amigo!
@@ramblingandroving Civilization can be a blessing or a curse. I wonder if the work my father did to create and develop this new Mexican Resort in the middle of Paradise was really a 'creating' project. Enjoy the wonders the Yucatan Peninsula still has to offer. Play safe and have fun. Cheers!
Unfortunately, I haven't been to isla mujeres 😅 it's the one place on the whole peninsula. But I would kind of consider it to be an extension of Cancun, being so close to town. I would totally do it on a day trip from Cancun if I had time on a trip!

I don't agree with your list however i liked your video. I guess everyone have their own list😁. Some day i would love to do a video like yours...

What about las mujeres island?

This would probably be a good video but your background music is WAY to loud. Cant hear you!
Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry it seems a little loud. Thanks for watching though!
