Hope you like my next video, covering the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. I managed to get everything in while staying under half an hour: Cancun, Tulum, Coba, Gran Cenote, Valladolid, Ek Balam Maya Ruins, X’Canche Cenote, Merida, Dzibilchaltun, Uxmul, Campeche, Calakmul, Becan and last but not least: Bacalar!
23/12/2014 One more day until Christmas and I am back in Guatemala City once more to spend the festival in 29°C – a very strange feeling and my first Christmas outside of Germany! Keeping my pace for updates every 2nd day, I can now finally present the last part of Mexico in the beautiful Laguna Bacalar!
21/12/2014 And finally… the last update about Maya ruins in Mexico! It ended with my favorite of them all, the city of Becan. Located very close to Xpujil, it is not as remote as Calakmul, but nevertheless only a few people go there. Check out this post to find out why it turned out to be my favorite in the end.
19/12/2014 Turns out the west of El Salvador features some pretty amazing little villages, especially the one that I am staying in now, Juayúa. People here are so friendly and I can barely see any tourists at all on the beautiful streets. I will leave today heading to the El Imposible National Park; but before I do so, check out the update about one of my highlights in the Yucatan: The remote ruins of Calakmul, once one of the biggest cities of the Maya!
17/12/2014 Another quick update from Mexico, only two more and I am ready to provide some pictures from Belize 🙂 Together with some Couchsurfers, I visited the Dzibilchaltun & Uxmal Maya ruins close to Merida. Right now I am actually in El Salvador and just came back from climbing yet another volcano here!
13/12/2014 The 2nd part of my Greenland Videos delayed my live updates a bit, sorry about that! I am currently in Antigua Guatemala and just came back from an amazing climb to Volcan Acatenango, overlooking the very active Volcan Fuego. Check out my Instagram Picture for a little preview before I get my hands on a report! In the meanwhile, I hope you will enjoy some more pictures from Yucatan’s Maya temples and Cenotes in this post 🙂
06/12/2014 And another quick update from Mexico! This time I will just leave you with the pictures from the Maya ruins in Coba and the Gran Cenote as I have to get ready for a full moon trek up Volcan Santa María (3.772m) now 🙂
04/12/2014 I arrived in Xela (Quetzaltenango, Guatemala) to work on my Spanish and can finally do some catching up with my live reports! Cancun was the start of my 11-day long trip through Mexico, checking out various Maya temples and Cenotes.This is the first out of six live updates and I will try to get the rest out as soon as I can, promise! 🙂
Travelling from 03/11/2014 to End of January, 2015
I wanted to get this out much sooner, but combining traveling with the planning of next stops takes a lot time; especially when we are talking about a total of eight countries! I am flying from Toronto to Cancun tomorrow morning and can now finally present my first set of ideas of what to do in Central America. Check it out if you are interested in joining me for any parts or if you can perhaps give me some advice!
