	Underwater world in Mexico - Dive into a dream!

Diving in Mexico - Mexico has over 10,000 kilometers of coastline and offers unique places for diving lovers to experience this incomparable underwater world. The Yucatan peninsula is one of the most visited diving sites worldwide.

The second largest reef in the world extends from Cancun to Central America, and is located between 10 to 20 kilomters off the coast. Of great interest is the amazing diversity of flora and fauna to be found in the area of Isla Mujeres and Cozumel. Cozumel has a magical underwater park which takes you to a mystical world.

Also unique in Yucatan are the cenotes. These are caves which were created as a consequence of an asteroid impact in the peninsula about 65 million years ago. A dozen of these cenotes are officially accessible to divers. Their crystal clear water provides a visibility range of about 50 to 70 meters. Many of these caves are located close to amazing rock formations and remmants of Mayan ceramics.

When is the best time to travel to Mexico?

You can travel to Mexico throughout the whole year. As a traveller you are probably a bit worried about the rainy season spoiling the pleasure of your travel. As Europeans you may associate rain with wind, coolness, damp weather and staying inside your house. However, this is different in Mexico.

First of all, during the rainy season in Mexico it seldom rains during the day; it mainly rains during the night. The rain falls down as short, strong showers and it hardly cools down the country: it remains warm. For all these reasons, we recommend you not to plan your trip to Mexico solely on the basis of the rainy season. However, if you still do not want to travel around during the rainy season, you can best do so from November to March.

Maya World Yucatan, January 2012

Marvellous Mextrotter Yucatan tour January 2012: 2500 km of Maya sites!

I did the Mextrotter Maya World Yucatan trip at the end of January 2012. I am interested in ancient civilizations and this tour covered about 2500 km of Maya sites in Mexico. From my privileged seat in the minivan (being the only single in the group, I got offered the passenger seat in the front which allowed me more chances to ask questions to our charming guide/chauffeur Anya). All my cotravellers were German speaking, so I freshened up my high school German a lot, but alas, I did not acquire much of Spanish. We visited Tulum (where I got a highly educated English guide for me alone), Chicanna, Calakmul (a not so much visited site which features the highest Maya temple at 44m, where we saw lots of monkeys, boar, pawns and deer roaming in the forest), Palenque, Agua Azul and Mishol-ha falls, Champoton, Campeche (after having a marvellous fish dinner with our feet in the sea sand), Uxmal (near the site we visited the home of a traditional Maya family where we learned some interesting cultural aspects form contemporary Maya culture), Merida (where had a tequila party around the pool on the top floor of the hotel), Chichen Itza (the busiest site we visited), two cenotes (where we had an exotic cool dip), Valladolid (small cute town where we had our “last supper”) and National Park Rio Lagartos (where we had a mud bath covering ourselves with grey, sticky, oily mud all over: we ended up looking like the Mad Men From Borneo). At the end of the tour I had booked three extra nights at Club Akumal Caribe at Akumal, on advice of one of Mextrotter’s excellent assistants. This place was just 20m from the sea shore, and with the great coral riff at only 50m into the sea): a rather remote place for doing some snorkeling and finding many fish I would like to get into my aquarium.
In the end, I really felt boosted by the combination of the Maya cultural tour and my few days at the beach. I can really recommend this formula to everyone, of all ages and cultures.
