another possible tour ($79 ringside seats guaranteed)

Cancun
Visit Mayan ruins (there are many)
- El Rey Archeological Zone and Yamil Luâum Archeological Site right in Cancun
- Tulum and go to the ruins
- Coba and hiked up the pyramid. I don't think you can do that at Chichen Itza. Hire a guide.
- Day trip to Chichen Itza with a tour guide
- Parasailing
Swim in a cenote
- Popular options include Cenotes Siete Bocas, Cenote Ik Kil and Cenote Azul.
- my favorites is Cenote Suytun
Pink river at Las Coloradas
- 3 1/2-hour drive to get to but can make stops at Ek Balam Ruins and Cenote Kikil.
Tigerâs activities
- swim with whale sharks (mid-June - Aug)
- Dive the underwater museum @Tiger Oakes
Recommendation from Sofia
- Mexico city https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A05H6-ug8rtCPT72Gk5XEB09voqVqlrlTk455T4qOrQ/edit?usp=drivesdk
Recommendation from Zain
- bellas artes
- area is really nice to walk aroundFrida kahlo museum
- I didnât have time to do this but it would be fun, itâs her old house Alameda central
- A pretty big park to walk around TeotihuacĂĄn
- I didnt get to see this but itâs famous ruins, itâs kinda far from Mexico City but itâs worth a day tripFantasy lab (in metrĂłpoli patriotismo mall)
- A really trippy place with a bunch of fun photo opportunitiesRoma Norte or Roma sur
- Safe places to stay, its kinda hipster there and and a lot of travelers stay in one of those areas
Recommendation from Eric
His favorite pizza place in the world https://maps.app.goo.gl/B6B6qBi29jGAqtgTA
- Note: If weâre going to go to Tulum
- I'd recommend going to Playa del Carmen or Tulum way more fun than Cancun party wise.
Recommendations from Hesham
- he said stay for at least 5 days - with more days you can go to tulum
Want to do
- Whale shark tour đŻ
chicken itza đŻ
- just a little far - 2.5 hours away
- Nicoletta restaurant
- isla mujeres - Hesham made a quick stop on the whale shark tour
- May is a good time bc no seaweed on beaches
- bring exchanged cash with you on the trip because the exchanges and atms there such scams
- boat safari in tulum - they saw dolphins manatees birds turtles
- uber is a quarter of the cost of taxi driver but taxi company there is owned by the cartel so they keep intimidating the Uber drivers when they pick up passengers
