El mundo Maya

It has been a few days since my last post and a lot has happened in between.
I have met the Mexican culture in it’s different aspects.

The first one is the Mayan culture which is still alive among the Mexican people. I have noticed this while visiting some of the ancient beauty that was left by the Mayan people. I visited Chichen Itza, which is one of the seven wonders of the world, and I must say that it is truly amazing to see how the Mayans were able to build such a fantastic city.
Later that day we visited the city Valladolid which is an authentic Mexican city without tourist-based buildings and restaurants so we were able to eat some real Mexican food.

Today`s program had some more animals in it as we first visited Coba as an ancient Mayan site in the jungle (we could now climb a big temple,  which isn’t allowed in Chichen Itza) and later on we went to the nearest lake for a meet and greet with some wild crocodiles.
Later on we went to Punta Laguna to see some other animals in their natural habitat. Punta Laguna is a nature reserve in the jungle which isn’t well known by tourists. Within this reserve we saw spider-monkeys, woodpeckers, bats and other animals. This was truly amazing.

Between these excursion days we got to know another part of the Mexican culture, being the night life. Playa del Carmen has some great spots to go out, drink and meet new people. I went to Señor Frogs and Dubai Club but I am sure that there are more to come.

I will close this post by telling you that I arrived in my second hotel yesterday which has luxury written all over it; from the bellboy who parks our car, over the venetion gondola and the pool bar, to the jacuzzi in the room.
