what's up Internet? so Cancun and Tulum are it's still one of my favorite
destinations. It's my second time going and it is absolutely beautiful! like the ocean
just looks photoshopped not real life.
Isn't this like the easiest to drink tequila? no? -uhh, it's good..
Cancun is the destination to go to if you're looking to relax on a beach, sip on a
margarita, zipline scuba dive, snorkel, run away from alligators, jump
off cliffs. there's so many things to do there and as usual I tracked all my
costs, so I'll be making a cost breakdown video soon. our first stop in the morning
was the Walmart and some people call it the "little US Embassy". you can pick up
all the basic supplies you're going to need at that Walmart and also book all
the things you're going to do. that's one of my favorite things about Cancun is
that you can plan most of your stuff when you get there. our goal for the
first day was to drink tequila, hang out by the beach, hang out by the pool at the
hotel and relax. honestly I feel like we could have done just that for all five
days and it would have still been an epic trip. for dinner that day we went
all out and got some fancy steaks and that was food coma number one. day two
was scuba diving, if you've never been before it is a awesome introduction.
there's a training session in the morning where they train you with all
the gear. then we went out on the boat and we did two dives and each one
lasting about 30 to 45 minutes. the museum was really cool because there's a
lot of statues totally worth checking out and there was a full-size car that
and when you wear devices when you scuba dive completely shave. the
mustache I had kept on opening up the mask and water kept on coming in and I
constantly had to like blow out. -my GoPro stopped working just as we started the
dives which is something I should have realized considering that my very first
youtube video was literally about how the GoPro Hero 5 doesn't work deeper
than 20 feet underwater. stupid stupid! for dinner our goal was to
get out of the touristy zone and find something more local. we ended up here
and it was totally worth to venture out. we completely went to town on this menu
and immediately fell into food coma number two. that night was the night we
were going to go explore some night life but then Jonathan started bleeding out
of his ear. and we went downstairs to the lobby got a doctor yeah he gave me some
steroids, antibiotic eardrops and
told me not to get into water. but I still got into water and got infected
you blew your eardrum which sounds really scary when I tell people that they go
"is he permanently deaf!?" basically as you're going down underwater you're
supposed to do it at a very slow pace so that your ears can adjust. - yeah I didn't
do that but by the time I got to the floor my head was all felt like it was
about a pop. - that's what happens if you don't pay attention in class. would you
go scuba diving again? - oh absolutely. - don't let this scare you away from scuba
diving though it's a very safe sport. although I did once run out of air at 90
feet underwater. as long as you pay attention and don't do anything stupid
scuba diving is a very safe sport. in terms of nightlife there's this place
that's really popular called Coco Bongo. we didn't get to go this time well I
went last time and it's a huge live performance show and I can't believe how
many costumes they have and it's epic it's definitely worth checking out if
you've never been and it's an open bar so you know. day three we checked out of
Cancun and off to Tulum there's a couple parts in that area that are all popular
and they're all a little bit different last time I want to explore which was
super fun and this time we want to Xeiha. At Xeiha their zipline, hammocks, stingray
encounter how was the experience? - the best part of my trip. I want to die right now
because I know that every experience after this won't be as good. - the buffet
drinks are all-inclusive in your admission and they even have cliff
jumping. they tell you not to do flips off the cliffs but I kind of had to
redeem myself after the last time I tried one.
after that we headed to Tulum
and that's where we encountered the famous Mexican speed bumps called tope.
you'll be on the freeway the whole time and then all of a sudden these giant
speed bumps will just appear on the road. we were getting into town pretty late at
night and we basically hit it full speed yeah and I'm pretty sure we jumped the
car. let's read some articles about how much people love these topes. "Topes's are
the worst part about driving in Mexico." "rip the wheels off your car"
"Everyone screamed for their life as we flew in the air." "holy sh*t those topes rocked
to our world." "missing the speed bump conspiracy
between mechanics and speed bump installers" and "oblivious drivers clear
through the roof" bottom line, keep a lookout for these signs
we're not Tulum we're staying here. hammocks not as comfortable as it looks
but it looks nice in video so that's all that counts. that'll be funny to fall off
this hammock for the intro and then I landed it a bunch of ants immediately
after I've got all these rashes on my stomach oh my god I have so many bites
that was a stupid idea. the next morning girls did yoga and had
a massage while Jonathan and I kind of walked around explored and had a pretty
intense tickle fight. it was pretty gnarly not going to lie. for real, stop, stop!
the hotel was awesome we were right by the water. little tip if
you're going to book a hotel and Tulum try to make sure it has air conditioning.
not having air conditioning they're kind of sucked, I mean everyone had trouble
sleeping the first night because when you just wake up in the middle of the
night drenched in sweat. Tulum guys everything is really out in
the open.
no shower doors so everyone is extremely uncomfortable right now
Tulum is probably one of the most photogenic places I've ever seen in my
life we went to Paradise Beach. a lot of places to eat right on the beach. we got
this little daybed it was it was more like a small mattress on the sand. the
the water is really great there. we drank a lot of Coronas because i think that's
where they film some of the corona commercials or at least around there.
that was definitely the most relaxing part of Tulum. Slow motion shots of Kristina
riding on the beach.
after Paradise Beach we were going to go
to this place called Grand Cenote which is kind of like the big touristy cenote
it's all over the internet it's very popular, but they closed earlier than we
thought we asked the cab driver and he pointed us to Casa Cenote which
is pretty cool. but that is where things got really exciting and we
encountered a crocodile. it was pretty scary, it was terrifying in the water. but
that's its own video that we posted last week you check that out if you want. but
cenotes are definitely a must do while you're in Tulum I think.
If you're in Yucutan, you gotta go check a cenote out. - later that night we kind of went to this
main strip area where there's restaurants. There's nice restaurants but
they're just geared towards tourists. everything was pretty upscale. this is
the more touristy area and this is the more local area that's called "el pueblo
de Tulum" -"In pueblo de Tulum" we ended up going to the local area and
that's when Jonathan whipped out his dance moves.
You guys see that?
We went around the area got some drinks, got some food, really good tacos. Tulum is quiet so
it almost feels like you're going to have trouble flagging down a taxi, but
it's like every other car is a taxi so we never had an issue flagging down a taxi there.
so last day there we went slightly south and check out this area
for shopping. every single portion of it, it's a perfect background. Instagram heaven.
It's very photogenic there but had very upscale beach vibe it reminded me a
lot of Malibu. then the prices is also reminded me of Malibu. another popular
thing to do in Tulum are the ruins I saw that last year it's pretty interesting
we learned a little bit about Mayan history. it's set up kind of of like a museum
though it's like a walking guided tour, something you might want to consider
doing. after -Tulum we needed to head back to Cancun for our flight and we stopped by
Playa del Carmen. we only stopped there for about an hour but I wish we had more
time there it was nice. - absolutely shops everywhere, they had a museum and what not. - I would say it's still
a semi-touristy town. Cancun is like the core of tour central
and then Playa del Carmen was kind of like somewhere in the middle and then
Tulum was still a little bit touristy but pretty minimal compared to the other two
at least. I got some souvenirs there and Kristina got a hammock which is pretty
cool. a lot of the hole in the wall looking
shops you should only try to bargain a little bit at least. - so
there was a vendor selling that I follow and chicharon delicious, it was
really good. - he was a 15 year old kid running this little food cart. he charges us
22 pesos and then we give him a thousand peso tip and I think it was pretty
happy about that. if you guys are new to the channel then basically we give out
all the money we make from making these YouTube videos and we give them out to
people who could use it better than we can you guys should totally like
subscribing stuff. and as I mentioned we track every expense we spent the whole
time we were there so we will be making a cost breakdown video as usual so keep
an eye out for that if you're trying to budget out your trip it's pretty much
all we have for now so we're about to have a tickle fight
