02. Yucatan - Mexico

Timeline 2021/05

24.04.2021 - 24.05.2021

Chetumal to Merida

We went to Merida by bus from Chetumal, it tooks about 6 hours to Merida. The drive with the ADO-Bus was very comfortable, much more than in other countries. So the time went so fast, we didn`t realize that we are already in Merida.

6 hours of jungle and dry places, just small villages hace been at this route and one stop in "Jose Mario Morelos".

The apartement

We rented an apartement for a month and we payed 7500 MXN for the apartement  plus 700 MXN for the cleaning.

The apartement has a kitchen, one bathroom, a TV, a couch and a balcony. There is also a pool to share with other travellers (3 more apartements), it`s very important to have a pool here in Merida, because it`s hot all day long and in the middle of the day you have to cool down.

Take transportation

There are many ways to go to your destination.

By UBER, Cabify, Taxi or inDriver (my favourite).

With a taxi you pay a minimum of 50MXN, but it`s cheaper than UBER in the afternoon. With inDriver you can set up your own price and there are sooooo much drivers available, more than UBER and Cabify together, much more.

Buses/Colectivos in Merida: 8MXN oneway

Sightseeings in Merida

We drove from Merida to Progreso about 1h with the bus (Pice 30 MXN/way). It`s a nice city at the beach and has some good restaurants at the promenade. If you are interested in our favourite restaurant in Progresso click here. You will receive the best shrimps in a garlic sauce or fried fish for less.

A pretty small village in the national-park in Yucatan.

There are so many cenotes and caves in Homun, but to much to visit all of them in one day. We checked just two of them, because they look similiar to each other and costs about 50-100 MXN per cenote.
