Hey you guys!
Thanks for joining us on another journey. Today we're in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico
And this video is the top things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula
of Mexico. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!
Cancun, we decided to stay on the ocean
And this is magnificent!
*music*
So we're on our way to Chiquila and
we're gonna catch a ferry there to an island called Holbox. I
Hope I'm saying that right
It's an island that they do not allow cars on so you can drive around golf cars or rent a bicycle
We're now officially in Mexico
Sweating to death, but you're not getting eaten by mosquitoes. What are you thinking about Holbox?
I like it.
I like it better.
This
soothes my soul. Beach is my happy place. One of them, but probably
The top. Top happy place
It's nice. It's raw. It's definitely been challenging but
I'm glad we came. That's saying a lot for me to say that!
What you think about the Tulum Ruins, April? Pretty cool
*music*
Tulum Ruins are one of the few ruins that are actually on the ocean, and the views are absolutely magnificent!
Unfortunately, the crowds are pretty
huge
So definitely take that into consideration if you're looking to go to Tulum

All right, so we're on an adventure
We saw a sign
As if everything with you isn't an adventure?!
Of course it's an adventure
Check out this road. It's what we're on, we're going to the centoes that we just saw a sign for
We don't know anything about it
This is an actual road. I know it doesn't look like it
Of course while using your smarts, don't be afraid to veer off that beaten path
Meeting the friendly locals as we hunted for the cenotes is an experience we will always treasure!
We've been going down this road
Looking for the cenotes for just a little bit
Ran into a little village and we've got--picked up our friend. What's your name? My friend?
Hola. Hola
Your name?
Okay
We don't speak any Spanish. He doesn't speak any English, but he's gonna take us to the cenotes. How many of you know
what a cenote is? For those of you that don't, it's basically like a natural sinkhole where the bedrock has collapsed to expose
underground water and
man...Is that water so clear and blue and refreshing!
Oh! So amazing!
What do you suggest for
food? Well, we got this specialties. What do you have, the
ceviche, chili relleno,
Carnitas, fish, chicken borracho. This is a chicken breast with a salsa and
Sausage inside... Mucho rellenos without ham, with chorizo
Oh, looks so beautiful
Some Mexican ice cream. Yeah, is it actual ice cream? I think so
I don't know... It tastes like it
It was only 20 pesos which is like 75 cents, I think
Natural tamarind fruit candy with salt and chilli
Coba Ruins is made up of structures from an ancient Mayan city
We loved riding bicycles through the thick jungle from ruin to ruin with the monkeys in the canopy overhead and
We even got to climb a pyramid in the sweltering sun!
We hope you will go check out the detailed content in each of our videos in our Know Before You Go To Yucatan
Mexico Series... Link in the description below
We are in Izamal Mexico
Which is the Golden City and that's also known as the
City of three cultures, combining the Spanish, Mexican
and Mayan cultures, that's cool
Izamal is a happy little city where you can visit the street market,
take a carriage ride
and explore the famous church on the hill
*music*
Oh man, we gotta go--oh no, for real?--to a damn toll again?!
Holy schnikes
Gotta pay another--
Mexico is not cheap anymore. When I first started coming to Mexico it was a pretty affordable
Hola, Hola
How much? 319
We gonna be out again?
Yeah we're gonna be out again. spent all my money on tolls
It's more expensive in Florida tolls. Gracias. So that's a little travel tip for you, driving out in the Yucatan on their
Interstates have lots of tolls. they do not take credit cards
They do not have ATMs, like it took us a long time to even find an ATM
Yeah, I think it delayed us about 45 minutes close to that. We were only off by 30 pesos
Pok ta Pak is an ancient Mayan ball game. I described it in last week's Uxmal video and in fine Wayne form and fashion,
I will say card above here
Heehee
There are varying perspectives on what happened when they played the game back then
some say sacrifice was involved other say beheading was performed and still others say that sometimes the winners were killed as
It was an honor to meet the gods early
some say that opposing Mayan kingdoms may have had their best warriors compete instead of having a full-blown war and
Others even say that a game's result was treated as an omen to a king's or a priest's question--
Depending on what team one gave them a certain answer
The way the game was played varied as well in some
regional areas, they might have played with their hands and in other regions they may have used their feet too
Want to check out a live version?
They play a game every Saturday night in Merida. So if you're visiting the Yucatan, make sure to plan on attending, you will love it!
Uxmal is...
expensive. Wayne was pretty upset about it in the beginning
However, it is one of the largest cities in ancient Maya and it is definitely impressive!
So many ruins in such great condition!
*music*
So what'd ya think?
Oh!
Was it worth it?
This place is amazing!
this is
By far my favorite place as far as ruins go in Mexico. This one is way cool. Yeah
It doesn't look just like a pile of rocks
It's impressive
It's expensive
And you be trippin'
Always tripping
