Hi guys, today
we came by one excursion
we contracted one excursion
to came to Chichen Itza
we are in the middle now
of..
nowhere
I don't know exactly
we were passing one maya village
and ..
there is name, look!
yes
let's check !
Suytun
as a tourist excursion
we did a stop here
to buy
different things that mayas
they do by themselves
we need to wait here around 25 minutes
and later we will go on a way to
to eat and
to Chichen Itza
one thing that I want to show you
that is interesting was
the
crystal
volcanic crystal
that was using by mayas
and
for example...
come here I'm going to show you
this is the maya's
crystal
now there is no sun
it's cloudy
but
before was sunny and
I was ...
trying
it's possible to see the sun
without any
without any type of burn
in your eyes
so it's safe
to...
to see the sun
mayas were using this
this type of
of crystal
volcanic
and
this one
two
this is from volcanic
70...
it's 70% of the particles
is
is water
the different between
this one and marble
it's because now
there is no sun
it's no possible to see
let's do experiment
no not there
it's onyx ok
it's this one
with this
it put in water and
normally need to change
the color
but now there is no sun
there is not shiny
and doesn't change
everything is very heavy
but normally we were trying before
when it was sunny
and yes it's true that it changes
and here
the mayas were using
for chakras
this is the
the crystal
the same that this one
and ...
it's the representation of the 7 chakras
they say that to
activate the crystal
there is one shaman
and this shaman
he smokes and
the smoke
he passes the smoke
in this case around this stone
and it's activated
they were explaining to us
that..
with this stone is possible to
activate the chakras
and the main chakra
that we have here
so
this is the...
one of the most
interesting thing that
he was explaining to us
that's it
now
we are waiting to eat
behind me
there is the shaman
and he is doing the
procedures
with the people that they
they go there
so he is doing different procedures
and can be for...
for energy
and
for activate the
stones
and this this type of things
for open the
the different chakras
in the body
and
more things that people
they...
they ask him
we are on a way now to see the cenote
behind me on my left part
you can see
mayas
they are painting the bodies
maybe for some ritual
that will be
and people
were telling me it's one
of the most beautiful cenotes
that is here in the Yucatan area
but will see
the thing that I don't like it that
it's very touristic
it's a lot of people
it's like one by one
you know is
it's like a one type of factory
and
I don't like
I contracted the excursion
because it was...
first it was the cheapest option
was cheaper than take a bus
but honestly if I...
if I need to come back again
I will do by another...
by another way
much better
than contract excursion
I do not recommend
to contract excursion
If you want something more exclusive
I don't know if I'm explain good
but if you don't want to be with a lot of people
that go to one point
you have 10 minutes...
let's go to the car...
this is a maya
it's all like a...
all this thing it's like a very
structured
I don't like
I prefer take my time
I prefer enjoy
the places that I am
I prefer this thing than
take a vans
and be in one scheme
so
honestly...
I don't like so much even
the van was very small
the chairs were
very small
three hours...
like this it's heavy
so
and today I'm not good ...
my stomach I think yesterday night
I was...
the dinner was not good
and I don't feel good today
so
this thing plus
the...
transportation it's very small
and with a lot of people
and...
all these things are not comfortable
but ok
let's see
I'm going to show you now the
the cenote
and later we will go to Chichen Itza
outside of cenote
and we found this huge
I don't know what is it
hole
with the borders
and we listen the noise from
inside
so probably
inside
would be the light to cenote
it's going through here
mayan language
first to see what is it there
we just finished to eat
there was like a...
buffet...
buffet food but...
Jose you are looking so happy after this excursion
yes
I already want to repeat
the thing is...
yes
the thing it's that honestly
I will not repeat this type of excursion
starting
they sale to you
like a...
is...
food
buffet
buffet and
and maya
all these things
but later
I have a village and I can
do the same in my village
you know
I can take my grand parents and
to cook
to cook there
the food
put the dress of torero
to my uncle
and to my brother to put
the dress of shaman
and start to do the same circus
that is here
and I can
sale for 100€
but this thing we will not put in the video
but you know it would be interesting
I think people would laugh
what ?
I think people would laugh
excuse me
where is the entrance
the entrance?
there
follow that way and you will see it
ok thank you
you will see there 3-star Michelin
board
this is the thing of direct (streaming video)
the food was ....
was not good
I feel it in my stomach
but ok...
that were the things we had to eat today
so I didn't eat a lot
I wish that ...
it would be good because today
I woke up with pain in my stomach
and...
honestly it's very touristic
and I don't like
I don't like when it's so touristic
they...
they sale the...
the package with
food included
but not drinks
of course
I was there
and...
I took the food and arrived one barman
and asked: - something to drink?
- no
and they were look at you like a not good
we woke up at
6:30 am
to be the first
to have a breakfast at the hotel
we had the breakfast at 07:00 am
something...
and at 8:20 am more or less
the...
minibus
was there
we were in the minibus
to one central...
like a central station of
minibuses
we were there. It was a transfer
for registration
and...
there was a big line to the registration for excursion
you need to pay
after payment
I don't know I think that the prices were different
for each one
because I had negotiated on price
I saw
I said there this price
but maybe I could say less price
and would be...
was
1700 something...
Pesos...
more or less like a 90 USD
but if I would say
if I would say that was
70 USD...
may be would be the...
we would have passed
but ok
I was honest
and I showed them the message
of the ...
because I was negotiating
with the
intermediary
and I sent the message
they saw the message
right
three hours later more or less...
we are here in the middle of nowhere
we didn't arrive to Chichen Itza
I think
it's possible to spend
to spend whole day long
only for one transfer
that is two hours in a half
if you take a
more private
excursion
and I think it's better for the next time
or if you want to come
to...
to visit Chichen Itza
and you want to...
don't spend
whole day long
I recommend to you
to take one private
with quality
excursion
but private with quality
it means that no...
because here people they can sale to you all
private and luxury
but it's not like this, ok?
today we saw a bus, regular bus
and the guide told us that it's luxury bus
today we saw regular bus
and...
and the bus was luxury bus
the the guide said to us, not it's luxury bus
I was impressed
one normal bus
was luxury... ok
later I understood
why
when we were all together in one
minibus
with the seat like this
very small
that I need to
to sit
to put
normal
and ok...
but
for good service is necessary to pay...
and in this case
we were looking for the cheapest option
and this is the cheapest option
the cheapest option is possible to take
and you will spend whole day long
more expensive option will be more
exclusive
for you
and
you will not spend whole day long
and probably you will see
the typical
the real
the typical
spirit of Mexico
because here
the thing that is around, it's all
focused in the tourism
it's like a factory and
there don't stop to come people
all time are moving people
and with one hour to eat
and you need to follow the scheme
taking one private excursion
you are free
you have time to do your things
if you want to buy something you can buy something
and if not no
that's it
