La Playa!



The amazing beach of Tulum- tropical paradise!!!

The Tulum Ruins



The Mayan ruins in Tulum are located right on the ocean!

Cenotes!



Cenote Escondido y Cenote Ikil: geological sink holes that are filled with refreshing ground water and are crystal clear. We had lots of fun swimming in them! Because there are no rivers in the yucatan peninsula, they were both sources of fresh water for the Mayas and they were believed to be a connection to the afterlife. Anthropologists have found gold offerings and the skulls of human sacrifices in the cenote sagrado at chichen itza.

Chichén Itzá



Hundreds of columns and the famous and impressive pyramid that was built according to the mayan calender.

Merida



The cathedral at night and our amazing hostel in which we paid 124 pesos each night for: a pool, garden, free breakfast and free salsa class! My favorite hostel in mexico!
