Heading further East to the Yucatán peninsula, our next stop was another Pueblo Mágico, Bacalar. As the rest of Quintana Roo, the Mexican East coast, is quite touristy and busy, Bacalar is relatively quiet and tranquil. It’s a small town located at a lake, known as the “lake of seven colors” due to the different […]
An unusual path
As Palenque gave us our first impressions what impressive Mayan monuments lurk deep in the jungle, we had to get more of that! We decided to head to Xpujil, a small little town away from the major tourist routes. When we arrived, we knew why nobody would stay here longer as necessary. The “town” more […]
Detox, ruins and arts
Since we got a really nice and spacious Airbnb apartment, we decided take a day off. We wanted to plan the next days and just relax in Palenque. But things didn’t turn out as planned… Digital detox Unfortunately, our day off was exactly when both the internet and the mobile network in Palenque were down […]
First Maya city
Leaving the city of San Cristóbal and their indigenous people behind, we headed over the mountains into a completely new atmosphere. The curvy bus ride took us into the state Chiapas with its well known city Palenque. Palenque is famous for its ancient Maya city which lies in the Mexican rainforest. It was time for […]
Oh Colombia! We miss you…
Beeing back home after all the amazing adventures we had is still a weird feeling. But we try to stay positive and while we are trying to get back our creative energy to write a new article, we finished two new videos! Salento was an amazing place and the Cocora valley with its huge palm […]
Strange traditions
After a few first days in the relaxed city of San Cristóbal de las Casas, we wanted to get to know the surroundings better. The strangest church With a high indigenous population, Chiapas offers a distinct cultural mix like no other place. The indigenous people live in 9 communities, each with its own language, traditions and rituals. […]
High in Mexico
Almost melted by the heat in Mazunte, it was time to get high… We left the coast to head to the Central Highlands region of Chiapas: San Cristóbal de las Casas. San Cristóbal de las Casas is located in a small valley surrounded by hills. With an elevation of about 2,200 meters it was the […]
Too hot to handle
From one of our favorite places Oaxaca de Juarez we decided to head to the coast. At first we were a bit hesitant because we read that the road is really curvy and well known to make people sick. But as it couldn’t get worse then some bus trips in Peru, we finally did it […]
Oaxacan tomb raider
After spending some time in the city of Oaxaca, at a weird carnaval and a long day trip, we had one last must-see on our to-do list: Monte Albán. Monte Albán is the most important archaeological site of the Valley of Oaxaca. It is located on a flattened mountaintop offering great panoramic views of the surrounding […]
Five trips in one day
While enjoying the first days in Oaxaca and at our amazing Airbnb with the Carlos family, we already thought about doing some day trips around the city. Getting to know Oaxaca…the state! After the carnaval experience we booked one big day trip that we were also really excited about. It consisted of five different stops: […]
