It was a 2-hour ride on Thursday that got us from Campeche to Mérida. We rented a room through Airbnb for 413 pesos (~27.90 CAD) a night and stayed for three nights. After getting cleaned up, we went to a nearby mall for dinner and ended up watching a late screening of Justice League. It […]
We left Ciudad del Carmen on the morning of Monday, November 27, for a 3-hour ride along the coast towards the city of San Francisco de Campeche. It was a hot and humid day so about mid-way through our trip, we stopped to cool down and have a seafood lunch by the beach before proceeding […]
On Saturday morning, we left Palenque and rode about five hours through another bumpy road to Ciudad del Carmen. Despite the less-than-ideal road conditions, the ride was more pleasant than the one that got us to Palenque. We did get stopped at a checkpoint with the federal police; however, the encounter was a painless […]
On Friday morning, we rode a little over an hour from Palenque to the Cascadas de Agua Azul – a series of waterfalls famous for its turquoise-blue waters found on the Xanil River. The water has a high content of calcium carbonate and various other minerals so all the rocks and trees that the water […]
On Thursday morning, we left San Cristóbal de las Casas and headed towards Palenque. It was a long day on the road with close to five hours of riding on what was the worst road we have encountered in Mexico and a lunch stop in Ocosingo. The road from San Cristóbal de las Casas to […]
We stayed in and worked for our entire Tuesday in Tuxtla Gutiérrez and then on Wednesday, we did a short ride of a little over an hour to San Cristóbal de las Casas. This city was chosen as a stop for one night because it shortened our ride to Palenque, our next stop where […]
On Monday, November 20, we went to explore the Sumidero Canyon, which is located just North of Tuxtla Gutiérrez and was about a 20-minute ride from our accommodation. The creation of the canyon began around the same time as the Grand Canyon by a crack in the area’s crust and subsequent erosion by the Grijalva River […]
On Saturday morning, we left Oaxaca and headed towards Salina Cruz, our stop for the night on the way to Tuxtla Gutiérrez where the Sumidero Canyon was located. It was a hot 4.5 hour ride and the route did not have much in the way of conveniences because our lunch options were restricted to potato […]
We started our Friday in Oaxaca with a little breakfast at a sidewalk cafe near one of the city’s plazas before setting off to explore this city that numerous people had recommended to us. Oaxaca is a beautiful city with its colourful colonial buildings, and a fairly large one with a population close to 1 […]
We left Orizaba on Wednesday morning and rode for about three hours before we reached San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec. It is a decent city that serves as a good place to stop for a night on the way to Oaxaca, but doesn’t really contain anything of interest for a visitor. We stayed at the only […]
