One question per post, answered properly: how to visit, what is in each barrio, what surprises people, what a trip here is like with children, and whether a private day is worth three times the price of a shared one.
The three things visitors get wrong here: the gate fee is two payments, the streets are numbered rather than named, and the good day trips leave before seven.
Read post →A city has no interior, so the unit is the barrio. Six of them, each with a plaza, a church and something to eat, in the order they are worth walking.
Read post →A Maya capital renamed after a Roman town, a cathedral built from the temple it replaced, Dutch cheese in the local kitchen and a peninsula with no rivers on it.
Read post →Flat streets, a free event most evenings and swimmable cenotes, against one real problem: the afternoon heat. Here is how families actually structure the day.
Read post →Around $81 a head shared against $258 to $456 private. The answer flips with party size, and it flips again once you count the admissions each fare includes.
Read post →Every day trip and food walk out of the city, with the price, the length and what the fare covers.
The posts above answer one question each. The guides are the other tier: long pieces that decide something for you, each with a comparison table — Chichén Itzá against Uxmal, three days planned hour by hour, the ten cenotes worth the drive, whether you need a tour at all, and when the flamingos are actually there.
And if you would rather start from the trips, Merida Mexico Tours lists every one of them with its price and its length.
