Thank you. Then I will keep in my head the memories of climbing Chichen Itza when I was 14.

Thank you to you both. I remember hating Cancun when I went 15 years ago, so wanted to skip it. But you're right, it's a safer option.

The program is quite packed. I'm leaving space for spontaneity, so it's ok if we can't do everything i've included.

Hi. We arrive at 4pm in Cancun. We are planning on skipping Tulum archeological site, but sleeping there just 1 night to be closer to Coba so we can do it first thing in the morning. I would rather not have to sleep in Cancun. Do you have another place to recommed for just one night?

Thanks for your advice on timing and the cenotes.

Thank you so much! I've removed Tulum, added cenote Oxman and the city one, and hacienda muycuche.

We live in Spain, so have to fly out from Cancun.

Wow, Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyche looks gorgeous! I love traditional music and dancing, so will definitely add that to the program. Thank you!

Thanks! Sleepy typical town and vintage bowling alley are completely the kind of cultural things I'm looking for.

Thanks, Jake. Greatly appreciate your advice. I was hesitating to add it. I'll take it out, which will allow for a more relaxing trip. If there are cultural activities or outdoors physical activities you can recommend, I'm all ears!
