Wishing I could time travel and be back at this be

Wishing I could time travel and be back at this beautiful cenote right about now. Cenote Suytun is probably Mexico’s most insta-famous cenote. It’s located in the town of Valladolid and is about an hour and half from Tulum. The cave has an opening at the top, allowing sunlight to filter through. Mid-day is the best time to visit if you’re hoping to catch the rays coming through! 🌞

How’s everyone doing? What are you doing to keep

How’s everyone doing? What are you doing to keep yourself busy while indoors? I’ve seen a huge dip in traffic on my blog but have been working on new content anyway and hoping it will bounce back soon. Hope everyone is staying healthy! . The ruins in Tulum are one of the best preserved coastal Maya sites. The walled city was a major port for Coba and was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries.

I just want to start by saying I’m not currently traveling. This next series of posts will be from a trip to Mexico that I went on this past August and just hadn’t gotten around to posting yet. I would like to discourage any travel during this time. I know the cheap flights are tempting but please be responsible and do your part to keep yourself and the people around you healthy. . The Yucatán area of Mexico is know for its beautiful cenotes, which are natural underground swimming holes. Ik Kil is one of my favorites. It’s best visited from either Tulum or Merida and is located about five minutes down the road from Mexico’s world wonder, Chichen Itza. It’s one of the most popular in the area, but if visited first thing in the morning, it is possible to have it to yourself...at least for a few minutes. Have you visited Mexico? What are some of your favorite cenotes?

Matcha Mama is a fun little matcha bar in Tulum. Everything is plant-based and super tasty! They serve amazingly fresh bowls and smoothies. It’s a must-stop for breakfast. Oh! And the swings are fun too! 😊

Casa Malca is a beachfront boutique hotel in Tulum

Casa Malca is a beachfront boutique hotel in Tulum and once belonged to Colombian drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar. New York based art dealer, Leo Malca purchased the property in 2012 and put considerable thought into the renovation. The property is uniquely decorated and curated art from his collection hangs on the walls. It’s a great place to stop for an evening cocktail.

Most people fly into Cancun when traveling to Tulu

Most people fly into Cancun when traveling to Tulum. I did the first time I visited but this time I chose to fly in and out of Merida. Merida is the capital of the Yucatan state and is full of incredible colonial buildings. The drive to Tulum is about an hour longer but there is so much more to do along the way and it’s a much more enjoyable drive. We were able to stop at Chichen Itza as well as some beautiful cenotes.

Los Tuneles is located off of the island of Isabel

Los Tuneles is located off of the island of Isabela and is about a 40 minute boat from town. This was was of my favorite activities in the Galapagos. The area was created when lava formations began to break apart, resulting in a maze of rocks and tunnels. It’s absolutely stunning. The water is shallow and crystal clear, making it a great place to snorkel. It’s a favorite spot to see sea turtles and you may even see white-tipped reed sharks and seahorses.

Sea lions can be found just about anywhere on the

Sea lions can be found just about anywhere on the Galapagos, but there are two great spots in particular that you’ll want to check out if swimming with them is on your bucket list. La Loberia, a white sand beach on Santa Cruz, and Concha de Perla, a tucked away swimming hole on Isabela, are must-dos. The great part about these activities is that they free and you can explore them independently! . Want more fun and free/cheap activities on the Galapagos?

If you’re in the Galapagos and on the island of

If you’re in the Galapagos and on the island of Santa Cruz, El Chato Tortoise Reserve is a great place to view these magnificent creatures. It’s located in the highlands and provides acres of natural habitat to the tortoises. The Galapagos tortoise, the largest of tortoise species, was once on the brink of extinction, but has since made a comeback thanks to reserves like El Chato that provide the tortoises with a safe place to breed.
