Thanks so much for watching! We hope you found the video useful to plan your own Yucatan Peninsula adventures!! We also shared a blog post with more useful info about the Yucatan Peninsula: www.waysoftheworldblog.com/yucatan-peninsula/
Just what I needed for that little motivation ✈️ Thanks homies 🙏
This is the most comprehensive and helpful video on the Yucatan that we have seen! Thank you so much.
We do!! We left a piece of our hearts in Romania and we can't wait to be back ❤️ Noroc and happy new year!!
Being overcharged is also my biggest travel peeve.
My second peeve, and this only applies to some very touristy places, is the pushy sales people everywhere. You can't walk around without being stopped.
Consequently, I'm learning Spanish to avoid this.
For us too! It's demoralizing almost... I wish I could explain everyone who's overcharging that this is not the best way to make money long term! That's why we speak up and encourage people to leave bad reviews and speak up when this happens! And good for you for learning Spanish. Honestly it helps a ton! You can practice with us any time :)
Eine der besten Reisevideos für Yucatan ;) n1
Danke! Greetings from Guanajuato, Mexico 🇲🇽
What a lovely apartment we filmed this from.
Yes!! :)
So many fun memories from the Yucatan! Can’t wait to be back!!
Yes ❤️🇲🇽
Definitely on my bucket list. Fabulous video. Will heed all your recommendations. Thank you. Such a delightful couple.❤
Thank you! The Yucatan is such a beautiful part of Mexico. Especially underwater 🐠
Thank you very much for your tips ;-)
You are so welcome! Have fun in the Yucatan! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions ;)
Hello. Thanks for the useful information you provided. See you.
Hello there :) You are welcome!! Have a great day ahead Hyde! 🙂
I like love your video is like the collest like from all the like ones that like I've like seen like about yucatan like the exact like description that i was like looking to like find.
Hi! Happy to hear you liked it :) Thank you!! Gracias :)
We use Avant for car rental while in the Yucatán. A little more reasonable, and the price is what you are quoted. Not at the Cancun airport, but they will pick you up, for a 5-6 minute ride
We will keep Avant in mind for sure!! Thank you for the info!! We had all kinds of crazy experiences and obviously it was so expensive when we had to pay $95 😖
I'm very surprised to hear that some places still require a mask! These will be places that I refuse to patronize or visit.
Great info and I thank you.
great testimony, appreciate it 👍
Happy to hear! Thanks for watching ☺️
Muchas gracias .
Muy buena Guia. Excelente
Gracias!!!! :) :) :)
Saludos desde Mérida un abrazo
Saludos Eduardo! 🙂
Perhaps the most informative and friendly vids on you tube, and a beautiful couple that really shine in sharing experiences,
Thank you much for the insight,
My son who is 9 and I will be in Campeche in January 2023 and plan on staying for at least 6 mo,
Like your apartment we would like to find one the same in or around the Campeche area, have a great safe New Years
Hi William! Thanks so much for the kind words!! :) Here's the link to the apartment we rented in Campeche: www.airbnb.com/rooms/47854903?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=e846b4b1-3035-438e-b4f0-113b475bc8c7 it was spacious, affordable and very clean. Only a few steps outside of the city walls. Only downside, no real living room area, just keep that in mind :) Have fun! Campeche is awesome!! Happy New Year!! :)
Vean un cortometraje llamado el PIB es de tradiciones mayas por los difuntos y está en maya subtitulado
Esto suena buenisimo! Gracias!! Donde esta? En UA-cam?
Excellent video and well explained details. I wonder if you can include Airbnb places in all that places that you visited to give us a better opportunity to choose where to stay. I’m planning to back to Mexico 🇲🇽 next January again.
Thank you for the video 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much Vilma! Happy to hear you found it useful! I actually have all the links if you need them and I'm happy to send them your way! Message me on IG @waysoftheworld_ with your email and I'll send them over along with notes I took of each LOL (the most honest review hahaha) you can also email me directly at aimara@waysoftheworldblog.com and I'll reply with the info :) Thanks for watching our videos!
@@waysoftheworld_ , Aimara i sent you an email 😀
@@vilmagul7607 awesome :) just replied! 😘
I´ve been living in Yucatan for almost 30 years and I still don´t know EVERYTHING I need to know about the Yucatan, HOW MANY DECADES YOU SPENT HERE?
Awesome! Lucky you! You can always leave any travel tips about the Yucatan in the comments! You must know so much about it!
Thanks for sharing! A quick question- Is early November good time to visit yucatan? Especially for cenotes and swimming at the beach.
You're welcome! Early November is a great time to visit. It's always nice and warm in the Yucatan :) Cenotes might be cold, but nothing too crazy and it is the beginning of the high season so prices might be a little bit higher. But weather wise it should be beautiful!
@@waysoftheworld_ ah great! Good to hear that. ;)
Did you travel by plane from the US or Mx?
What do you recommend for someone that really doesn’t swim?
Hi Sandy! We started our trip in Cozumel and we flew from Chicago. If you don't swim, we still recommend that you check out the beautiful cenotes (the scenery is beautiful!) and of course the cities. Campeche, Merida and Valladolid are amazing!! Mexico has so much to offer :) We hope you have a great time 🥰
Also, not sure if you're traveling to other places outside of the YP, but we just spent some time in Oaxaca City and Guadalajara and LOVED both! We have videos in case you want to see how it looks like ;)
@@waysoftheworld_ Thank you so much. I’d be traveling via air from Reynosa Mx. My husband is a Mexican national. No, just YP. Only have 1 wk vacation from work
Did you felt safe in Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula) ?
Yea the Yucatan Peninsula is mostly very safe. The main exceptions are the more touristy places in the state of Quintana Roo - like Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. That said, you shouldn't really encounter any issues if you don't get involved in any sketchy business 🙃
Is the budget in USD?
Yes, all the prices we share in our videos are USD unless specified otherwise :)
Good video. Thanks! Noticed she wants to talk over him almost the whole time. Distracting.
thanks!
