I am about to jump into a hot tub
Filled with chocolate
What is going on Members of the Barrio
It's Jon coming to you from
Ajijic
Which is right on Lake Chapala
Largest Fresh Water lake in all of Mexico
And an amazing spot to spend a weekend
We are doing just that
Staying at a great hotel right here
Called Real de Chapala
Highly recommend this spot
Number one on Trip Advisor
That is why I booked it
And today we're going to be doing a couple of activities here
First, we're going to be going to a spa
Then.. we're going to be kayaking
At sunset
Let's go do this
We've just called an Uber
And Adriana and I are waiting in the lobby
You excited for a little bit of a spa day?
I am.. the last time I went was in Switzerland
And actually this place reminds me of it a little bit
Because of the lake
And the mountains
So i'm excited
Hola buen dia
We have made it
And if you're curious what the cost is...
280 pesos
We are just entering and this is the water park area
There'se a lot of kids
We're looking for the adults only spa
You want to hang out with the kids?
No..
I mean I don't have anything against them.. but
No I don't..
That water slide looks pretty cool
Hmm
This was actually all my idea
Because I knew later in the day..
We are going to go kayaking
I wanted something really.. relaxing
And really easy to do
For the early afternoon
It appears here..
There's about 7 or 8 hot tubs
As well as a sauna or two
Cold water.
I think chocolate therapy
I'm going to whip out the go pro
And we're just going to try out a few of them
Alright guys it turns out
We actually were supposed to pay about
7 or 8 dollars extra
to have access to this VIP spa
We're going to go in groups
And we're going to be..
Bathing in stuff like Apple Cider Vinegar
Which i've drank before
But I've never gone into a hot tub with it before
Between every hydro therapy tub you go into
You have to run through this shower
Check this out I'm going to suffer guys
Go go go
Flower therapy
I'm falling, i'm falling
How cute..
Jon looks
With the flowers..on his head
I am about to jump into a hot tub
Full of chocolate
We have jumped from apple cider vinegar
To coffee
To chocolate
All the things I normally drink
I'm now bathing in..
Let that sink in but..
Apparently the health effects
Are well well worth it
I'm about to jump into freezing cold water
It says here that freezing cold water is good for you After being in all these hot tubs
Okay i'm getting ready
Here we go
Activity one is complete
I think we spent..
22-23 dollars
To have a couple of hours with those hydro therapies
And we didn't even do all of them
We decided to skip the mud on the face
Because we're running low on time
Because we have to get to this kayaking
At 4 o'clock
We're going to head back to the hotel
Change, get some more gear
And we're going kayaking
Alright who is ready for some kayaking
We have just arrived to Plus Adventure
We're going to be partnering up with them to show you guys..
What it's like to kayak
On Lake Chapala
Some sad news from me
I actually lost my sunglasses
At the spa
And I didn't realize it
Til we got back to the hotel
We ran to the spa
But they're gone
And I don't know if we're ever going to see them again
If anyone has contacts at Maui Jim
That'd be really cool
Just let me know
This is Guillermo and he's going to be taking us kayaking
I love this Jeep by the way
It's name is.. Optimus Crime
Optimus Crime
This reminds me of like a taxi in Cuba
Better than that
This is way cooler
This car is seriously amazing
I don't know how it works
But it's amazing
We are about to get going and as you can see behind me
It is getting dark
We hear thunder
I think I saw a little lightning in the distance that way
Guillermo said we're going to be paddling
In this direction
Away from the storm
And i'm hoping that we're not going to get to wet because of it
But I haven't kayaked.. in..
I don't remember the last time
It's always a fun experience
Hawaii there it is
What you are going to do
Sitting on the top of the kayak
We're going to try to maintain just a little angle
The really important thing is
Try to avoid..
Going like this
Alright Adriana, Lista?
We are finally out on the water
And it is eerily beautiful right now
Because the sun is going to be setting in about an hour
And there is a storm passing through
It's making the other side of the lake
Just look absolutely spectacular guys.. Check this out
In some ways it is
Of course..
But most of the people don't know
That Lake Chapala is a natural..
Reserve for birds
It's a really nice or good sign
That the eco system is in some way
Healthy..
Otherwise.. the water would be like..
Really polluted
We don't want to see any animal
Around
Guys it looks really close over there
But Guillermo said it would take..
Him 2 hours
And probably us about half a day.. to paddle 10 kilometers
To the other side
We've been kayaking for about an hour
And Guillermo said that the waves are starting to pick up
Because the storm was coming through
We're going to head back
And I think we're going to take in that sunset
From the shore here
Yes it is getting bumpy guys
We just literally beat this storm coming guys
Look
I'm a little bit sad
Because I wish the weather was
Nicer
Like last night
Would have been perfect for a sunset
Kayaking trip
But unfortunately
Wit this storm comign
We couldn't kayak long enough to be out in the water
During sunset..
To bad
If you don't want to go kayaking
You shoudl just ride around in Optimus Crime here
This is one of the most unique jeeps
I have ever seen
Really
It's missing doors
You can see the parts on the inside
I love it
I have to recommend Plus Adventure
Guillermo is an excellent tour guide
And apparently they are the only adventure company
In the Lake Chapala area
If you want to do other cool stuff
Like mountain bike riding
Or hiking or kayaking
Like we did
I'm going to leave there contact information
Down below
We liked it so much
We might even return
And do another activity with him at some point
In the next month
If we do have the time
Guys definitley leave me a comment
Tell me what your opinions are on Lake Chapala
Would you come here?
Would you not come here?
Why or why not ?
Definitely subscribe if you are new to this channel
Thank you so much for watching
Until next time
I don't do anything
Because i'm a princess
No that's not true
