  • In this episode, it's our first ever visit to Progreso, Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula! Join us as we head out on an excursion with Yucatan Cenote called the "Burrito Grande" with our guide Lupita and driver Marco. For the first part of the tour, we're heading through Progreso and Merida to explore the Mayapan Ruins, with a few stops along the way...
    We're sailing out of New Orleans on a double cruise adventure! First up, we're spending five days aboard the Carnival Valor headed to Cozumel and Progreso (Yucatan) in Mexico. We sailed from September 23-28, 2019 on this first leg of our grand back-to-back cruising adventures!

    Loved this episode - very kind and respectful of you Jay to not directly film the funeral casket during the church visit ❤ Thanks to this episode, I'm looking to book with Yucatan Cenote this fall 😀

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 года назад +1

      Such a fun day! Yes, once we realized that we had almost crashed a funeral, we obviously decided to be respectful. Yow!!

    Congratulations to the daredevils who successfully ascended and descended that treacherous, hardscrabble cobblestone ski jump of a stairway! Kudos to Jay for his good judgement by remaining on terra firma! That's where I'd be!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 года назад +1

      With my big ol' feet and lack of balance sometimes... no way I was shimmying up that thing, ha ha... :P ~Jay

    WTG Dee climing that pyramid thingy...The views look amazing from up there. We have never went to Progresso and it looks very nice...like a calmer Cozumel. Thanks for sharing!

      She was dang brave climbing up that thang! And coming back down looked twice as scary!! :O

    @NauticalNurseNancy 4 года назад +1

    The stairs are fine...until you have to climb down them! I loved Dee's photos and couldn't believe the close-up of the bat - cool! How fun to see all the parts of the ruins, including the columns! Nicely done!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 года назад

      Those columns were so fascinating, I just couldn't pry myself away from them... :P

    @jlizardi5013 4 года назад +1

    It is interesting how all the Yucatan area archaeological sites are pretty similar in architecture, even the ones in Belize are similar. Great civilization that was. Great job guys!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 года назад

      They really are! This was pretty similar to Altun Ha in Belize. Always fascinating though!! :D

    @adavan3095 4 года назад +1

    Wow. Cool excursion. I might climb that if there was s slide on the other side to come down 🤣. I would be seriously terrified to climb down. Bravo to the brave souls that did it. Love living vicariously thru you all.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 года назад +1

      Ooooh, a slide might have been fun. Why didn’t the Mayans think of that?! :P

    @SuperMsKakashi 4 года назад +1

    Thanks Jay and Dee for another awesome video. I want to specifically thank Dee for saving me a trip up those stairs. Once she got to the top and showed the view I knew I will never go to the top in person. So thanks much for showing me what I would have missed. I even had a touch of vertigo, lol.

    • @parodeejay

      @parodeejay  4 года назад +1

      As someone with very little coordination and balance from time to time, I was staying on that dang solid ground, ha ha... we were proud of the three tributes that volunteered to climb to the top though!! :P

    ??????? Once again I'm following in your footsteps. My daughter and I are doing the excursion you did . Very excited.
    ? Do we just wear swimwear and cover up or is there a place to change so we can just wear normal clothes?
    You have saved me time after time. Big thanks.

  • @sherrakuestersteffen6007
    @sherrakuestersteffen6007 2 года назад +1

    Great video, but I’m really surprised they allowed people to climb on the ruins. Over time, aren’t they just going to get worse? I would have thought they would want to keep them as intact as possible

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 года назад

      You would think so! I'm sure a lot of portions have been restored, hopefully including those stairs, so maybe they're not original at least!! :P

    • @parodeejay

      Our Progreso excursion was booked independently outside of Carnival, through a company called Yucatan Cenote. The exact one we did was called "Burrito Grande" hah...

      This was a private tour, which was $600 for the day. Split among 6 people, $100 each. But they have quite a few options that they can tailor to your individual needs.
