Cost of Living San Cristóbal de Las Casas
Great info! Thank you! I was wondering if we should try one of the other adult only resorts. We’ll stick with Royal Hideaway. This will be our, maybe, 5th time there. We love it although it could use some updating and as you said, better food. The food is okay but only some of it is truly delicious.
Glad you found it helpful. Royal Hideaway really was the best unless you want a party atmosphere.
Your trip to the bottom of the falls made me think of the boat trip to the bottom of Niagara Falls.
The boat ride was so much fun. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate how consistent you are posting every week the different pueblos magicos you've stayed in, especially the lesser known ones.
So glad you enjoy our channel, thanks for watching!
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Visiting all of these waterfalls was one of my favorite experiences in Mexico so far. Thanks for watching!
I’m enjoying your channel and your journey to visit 100 magic towns in Mexico! Once you reach that goal, what are your top 3 magic towns, and do you and David have different favorites?
Thank you! W are planning on making a video featuring out top 10 pueblos magicos, our top 10 archeological sites, and our top 5 choices for places to live. I don't think our choices will be different as we tend to value and enjoy the same things.
Walker Amy Rodriguez Susan Jones Robert
everything looks too good.
The food in Oaxaca is amazing!
Looking for an airbnb for this january, any suggestions ?
@@amandaturko863 we struck out with our Airbnb. If I were booking again I would choose a condo closer to the beach for a short stay or if I was staying longer term I would book a place walkable to la crucecita.
🫡👏🏽👌🏽
Very nice! Do I perceive a turn northward?
@@montysano yes, we are trying to visit all the states!
Great informative video! I’m curious…what are 3 of your favorite pueblos in Mexico?
We loved San Cristobal de Las casas, Bacalar, and Tequila. Once we hit our goal of 100 pueblos magicos we are planning to make a video showcasing our top 10. We will also make a video about the five places that we are considering settling down in.
Yikes! It was not so cheap. I guess it depends on what you're doing. I do, however, appreciate your videos.
We don't try to travel as cheaply as possible. We eat at a range of both affordable and fancy restaurants and we tend to rent more expensive Airbnb's for the extra comfort. You could definitely spend less. Thanks for watching!
Im from zimapan
Still one of our favorite pueblos magicos!
Went there some years ago to visit friends who moved there. I noticed that a few of the people I met there were very into booze. Come to find out it was much cheaper in Mexico. The idea of hanging with a lot of alcoholics is not appealing.
We liked it better than SMA but it isn't in our list of top places to settle down.
We have been at many relatively big towns in Mexico that are very primitive. There's no decent restaurant in the entire town. The popular Pizza place just heated up frozen pizzas for their customers. Mexico is an experience, but those "pretend" restaurants I'd rather just stay away from. One town had the best coffee shop in town across the street, BUT they opened at 12 noon, so thankfully I had a bean grinder and brewed my own coffee from beans I 'd bought in Zehautanejo - it was amazingly outstanding coffee, so very please I bought those beans.
We have had some really great restaurant experiences in Mexico. I will say that finding decent Asian food, hamburgers, and pizza are all difficult. Excellent seafood is easy to find. We travel with a french press and make our own at home. I agree that Mexico grows some excellent beans especially in Chiapas.
I'm not a fan of eating out so much, but I do like an American breakfast. I'm a bit lighter eater. The travel videos with a focus on the food aren't very popular for me - I do like the travel and touring experiences though.
For us it depends on the city. Some places are all about archeological zones or waterfalls, others have tons of amazing restaurants and/or unique foods. Thanks for watching!
Our house is huge so I'm doing a lot of maintenance and improvements; however, it's on track to be sold soon, so we intend to relo to P.V. once we are free from our work here. We have a smaller home nearby, but would live in P.V. This week I took one of our SUVs to Nogales Sonora for body work and, then, we will likely paint the vehicle with Urethane - some snowbird in Az. passed out and destroyed our front grill and, after 6 mos., we have the settlement to repair the car. Ha, ha - next door from the body shop the Mex. military were raiding a drug house, so I was waving at the military as they ran it with weapons drawn. I thought they could paint it, but they don't have urethane, so I told them I'll paint it in Phx. if they cannot - strangely, the price is similar either place so no benefit for painting in Mexico.
We have found that prices for restaurants, real estate, and most services are lower in Mexico than in the US. Things like technology, hygiene, clothing, and home goods tend to be the same price or sometimes even higher than back home.
@@GeorgiaandDavid Yes, luxury costs MORE so wealthy people actually live better in the USA where they are catered to. I get mechanics working for maybe $25/hr. in Mex. but here in PHx. maybe more like $135/hr. I'm having a front end rebuilt as body work, but they wanted $1,000 for a paint job and I can get a Urethine pant job here in Phx. for $1300, but in Mex. it was basic paint - so I told them NO - I'll do that in the USA. The culture in Mex. is much more honest than business in the USA in my opinion.
So pretty pueblos mágicos! Thank you for sharing 🙏!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! What a beautiful town! Loved the dog patiently sitting by the meat counter, so cute 😄
It's funny because we have seen dogs doing this in most of the markets in Mexico. Their patience must pay off eventually.
Yummy carnitas ♥️!!!
Lovely town, thanks for sharing❣️
Really cool short video! Thank you for sharing 🙏!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love travel with the dog!!!! In Mexico, I was surprised by a small boney black dog crawling out from under a car to greet me obviously distressed, so I went back inside to return with a can of tuna to feed the dog. Returning six hrs. later at 11PM the dog was curled up sleeping in my doorway. I took her in, cleaned her up and took her. to the vet. The dog would be ideal for a young child I thought, but she became so attached to me that I couldn't leave her for a second - huge abandonment syndrome. She's been with me ever since and has been AMAZING as a pet and as a friend - I believe she was a gift from God.
Aww that is a wonderful story! I hope you two enjoy many years of adventures together.
Beautiful video. Loved the murals and the vanilla presentation! No doubt, Mexico is all about the art!
Thanks! We love how much art is here. From murals, to statues, paintings, and artesanias.
Just beautiful guys! I can't stop admiring your adventuresome spirit as two gringos in Mexico! 🥰
Thank you so much!!
As always, we love your coverage of the lesser known spots all over Mexico. A request to consider: it would be helpful if you displayed a Google map showing where the towns are, and also a mention of what time of year you are visiting. Thanks!
@@kensmithzzz Thanks! Good suggestions we ditched the map after the maya train series but I definitely see how that could be helpful.
The infrastructure in Huatulco is more challenging, but meat in Mexico is all grass fed beef and not as tender as finished beef in the USA - still, there are places you can find good beef. I spend more time in PV which is easier given the strong expat pressence there.
We have definitely had some great steaks in Mexico. The further north you go the better the beef. Sonora, Chihuahua and Durango all have good to great steak even at lower price points. The further south you go the more you have to spend to get a good steak.
I'm with David on the French Dip, so so difficult to find most places. I'm in Phx. area and there's an amazing Italian Roast Beef sandwich here, so I sometimes go there - after NEVER finding a decent source in CA. so helped promote the local restaurant for years already.
We have only been back to the USA for five days in the past 2.5 years so we are often trying to find a taste of home wherever we are in Mexico.
@@GeorgiaandDavid Food chains are so much better abroad especially where the local markets have local organic fruits and vegetables. I sort of prefer to eat local, but I do prefer bakery bread over tortillas. Perservatives are like poision, so eat fresh food.
Next time try "El Almoraduz" in la rinconada. This is the best restaurant hands down! Provechito!
Thanks for the recommendation. There are so many great places to choose from.
The "golf course" did not exist in Mayan times
Lol ball courts yes, golf courses no.
🎉❤
Mexico is running out of water …
@@MsTC867 unfortunately that is definitely an issue. We have seen water shortages in multiple cities we have visited.
Saludos desde Aguascalientes México
Gracias por su comentario!
Thank you for all of the great videos over the past couple of years, it has helped us create our bucket list for Mexico. Your videos are well made and we watch every Sunday. Inspiration for my husband and I. We start in GDL in about two months! Very excited!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy our channel. I hope you end up loving Mexico as much as we do. Good luck and have fun!
Excellent video! Cuetzalan is near the top of my Mexico list. There's a nearby pueblo magico Tetela de Ocampo that looks interesting. Zacatlan too! In other news: we got our Temporary Resident visas! We have until Feb. 9 to travel to Mexico to get our cards.
Awesome glad things are going smoothly! We loved Zacatlan, it was one of our favorites. We skipped Tetela de Ocampo so you'll have to let us know how it is when you go.
What a neat place to see. Great videos.
Thank you!
Thank you for a very informative and educational video. You did a great job of explaining the differences between artisanal and industrial distilleries.
So glad you enjoyed our video, we definitely enjoyed doing all the research!
Wow! Just beautiful landscapes.
@@uliseszarate6561 we loved the mountains and the waterfalls, the roads not so much lol
I'm from San Cristóbal and I hadn't watched this video before, and everything that I want to say is that I enjoyed everything that you shared. Beautiful video by the way.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.
Surprised that you didn't like more restaurants.
We were too. Unfortunately of the restaurants we visited on the beach side we didn't think any of them were really worth the price. Koras was awesome though.
Fue un gusto tenerlos en licores Yola... Saludos ❤
¡Gracias! Nos disfrutamos la expieriencia.
SALUDOS DESDE LICORES Yola 🥰🥰🥰
Estos gringos a visitado huichapan.
What does Pueblo Magico of Tequila mean? lol people magic of tequila 😶 Its like word salad haha.
"Pueblo Magico" or magic town, is a title given by the secretary of tourism to small towns throughout Mexico. Tequila is one of those towns. Sometimes the award is given for the town's natural beauty, history, a specific art or craft, a unique dish, or in the case of tequila its speciality drink. Currently there are 177 of these magic towns and our current goal is to visit 100 pueblos magicos.
Puerto morales is no longer a tiny fishing village and it has become outrageously expensive 40.00 for 1 breakfast, eggs bacon roll and a coffee are you kidding?
Wow! We never saw prices that high but we did spend most of our time on the town side.
@@GeorgiaandDavid it was a shock to me as well i used to go to the cafe America, which was not open last time i was there. I believe they have relocated the restaurant
Holy moley you guys...I must have said WOW 12 times in this one! ❤😊
This area was so impressive. I cannot understand why Tepeyahualco isn't a pueblo magico. It has the best archeological sites we have been to, a hacienda, and those crater lakes. It was one of our favorite days in Mexico so far!
We went to Cantona in early May, during a heat wave. We're both 70, so it kind of kicked our butts and we didn't see the whole thing. We hope to go back. The Tlatlauquitepec/Tetela de Ocampo/Cuetzalan area is high on my list to visit.
I can see why it was absolutely massive but ended up being our favorite due to its size and the fact that there were so few people there. If you go back I definitely recommend the crater lakes as well. We stayed in Cuetzalan...that video will be out in two weeks.
@@GeorgiaandDavid We're traveling to the Mexican Consulate in Atlanta later this week to apply/interview for Temporary Resident visas. Wish us luck!
@@montysano I hope your experience goes as smoothly as ours. We were in and out with no issues in Raleigh.
So cute! Pinky Drinkyyyyy?! Wanna go SOLELY for that 🩷 thank you for your videos 🤩
Lol we enjoyed it and I (Georgia) chose it for the name as well! Thank you.
Thank you sooo much for your video. I so appreciate the intel you provide us!! For others, I am going to SLP in 4 days. My BEAUTIFUL AirBnB downtown will be $53 USD per night. I currently am living in Guanajuato where Street “Tacos” and the like are $1.50 USD and my Steak Dinner at a beautiful downtown Restaurant “Truco 7” was $225.00 MXP or $12.16 USD. Food prices in comparison seem really high in SLP??!! I will know soon enough. Thanks again for taking the time to make a video for us!!
The lower cost options are about the same but the fancy places were definitely pricier. Also when we show our totals we are usually including two cocktails, two sparkling waters, two entrees, and tip. Enjoy your trip it's a great city! Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!
Georgia and Dave..... is nice to see you are having a good time in Mexico. And it's great to see you finally in my hometown. As you have discovered, there are many things to see and to do in Orizaba. This city has changed a lot since my chilehood (belive me.... A LOT). In the 70's-80's it was not as touristy as it is nowadays. You videos have an excellent level of production. Congratullations for that. This video in particular brought back good memories..... See the house painted green by the Parque López (around minute 7:25)? Many many years ago, it use to host the "Gabriela Mistral Kindergarden", which I attended...... Thank you for sharing your experiences. Hope you have many more good times in Mexico. Have a very happy travel.
We loved Orizaba there was so much to do! Definitely one of our favorite pueblos magicos. Thank you so much for your kind comments.
