Is it advisable to rent a car or depend on local transportation? If I go, I would like to visit Mayan ruins. Any recommendations as to which to see? Thank you for any help. Mexico has greater liability issues, do (it is mandatory) take all the insurance they will sell you. Driving isn't so bad but you don't wnat to have trouble in Mexico. I would rent for the day and go to the ruins (it is what I did) and not have a car most of the time. Beware free car rental in Cancun it is all about (as are all freebies in Cancun) time share. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell Thanks for the info. Going to the ruins, get on a bus. Is a long day, and coming back about 80% of the people fell asleep. |

OT - Cancun

If you are going from a cruise, I would do a cruise ship excursion so you will be sure the ship won't leave without you. If you are staying in Cancun I would rent a car so you can come and go as you please. sue Thanks. Not going from a cruise, that's why I posted OT. Didn't know if renting a car in Mexico would be a smart thing to do...or not to do. Thanks for your suggestion. I rent cars when I go to Cabo. But for the ruins tour I would take a bus. They may include the tour guide in the price. But is a long day and coming back most of the people on the bus fell asleep. |

Sure they fall asleep, they have nothing else to do. We were all tired after a long day in the sun. If you take the tour you can be led around Chichin Itza like you're part of a herd of cattle, by a guide who will fill you full of information, not all of which is accurate. You'll have ample opportunity to sleep on the way back to Cancun. If you drive yourself you can see: Chichin Itza, the Balanchanche cave and Ek Balam, or some other combination of ruins, in a day and drive back to the coast without falling asleep. I've done it a number of times. Better still you can spend the night in Piste or Valladolid or Merida and see a lot more than "the ruins".

Even with my basic knowledge of Mexico I know that Baja is on the West side and Cancun on the East. And that Cancun is not on the top of a mountain. tim |

What's the best time of year for doing this route for 'ease' of finding on the day accomnodation, without hitting weather that you'd want to avoid (if possible). I've always been there in the Fall, which is great if you have the flexibility to dodge hurricanes. Other than hurricanes, if one happens to be coming through that area, the weather is very nice. Tourism is at a low ebb, so rooms are easy to find and very reasonable. There have been times when I had the luxury of hanging out in San Cristobal de la Casas, while waiting for the weather to improve on the coast. Good fun, but if you're trying to just fly in and out in a particular week the airport there can be iffy that time of year. Traditionally "high" season runs from mid-December 'til the end of Spring Break. This guys says he also likes after Spring break through late June: http://www.travelyucatan.com/cancun_weather.php My personal opinion is that Cancun isn't particularly interesting, but there are a lot of places in that region that are. There's a lot more to see inland than Chichen Itza. TB -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
