Incredible experience - Incredible experience, it was a sensational day, me and my friends had an incredible time, one of my favorite activities full of history and magic

Great places, little time! - Of course, my plan for my trip to Mexico also included a visit to Tulum and Coba. First we went to Tulum. An archaeological park that you should definitely see if you are traveling to Mexico and the view of the sea from this location was also fantastic. Then we went to Coba. I particularly liked this place (much nicer than Tulum). It is located in the jungle and therefore nice and shady. There are an incredible number of great ruins to visit and the places scattered throughout the forest mean that it doesn't seem so crowded. The problem with the tour was that you only had very little time for this place and were therefore forced to rent a rickshaw or a bike if you wanted to see the largest ruins within the time limit. So I rented a rickshaw and must say the driver was super friendly, even gave me all sorts of interesting information, showed me the Mayan bees and asked me at each stop if he should take a photo of me (since I was traveling alone). Incredibly nice! We then continued to a Mayan village. There was a cleansing ceremony by a shaman (in the middle of the souvenir shop, so that you don't forget to spend your money there). Afterwards there was a really delicious lunch buffet, but you had to pay extra for drinks, but that was known beforehand. At this location you could also go swimming in the cenote. Unfortunately I didn't go in the water because I got sunburnt on my back from several snorkeling tours the previous days :-D . The cenote and the water looked fantastic though. Finally there was a stop in Playa del Carmen. However, since my hotel is located in the middle of "downtown" Playa Del Carmen, I said goodbye to the group at this point. Playa del Carmen is a really nice shopping paradise, full of bars, restaurants, souvenir shops and stores from all the well-known chains. However, I doubt that there would have been enough time during the tour to look around a bit. POSITIVE: - the visit to Tulum and Coba - the Mayan village was very nice to spend time in - the tour is relatively inexpensive - I met very nice people during the trip NEGATIVE: - you have relatively little time at each location - the tour guide was unfortunately SO bad at English (it was supposed to be an English-speaking tour) that only the bare essentials were translated and even the important departure times were very difficult to understand. Most of the tour was in Spanish (I don't speak Spanish.)
