the most-of-Mexico journey
In April/May 2003 we went to Mexico, and traveled for three weeks around by rented car. Well, Mexico? In three weeks you can do only so much, so we limited ourselves to the capital, Mexico DF (Districto Federal), some of the pre-columbian sites around here, and via the colonial towns Puebla and Oaxaca to Chiapas, with its Mayan ruins. No Yucatan, not enough time. And also not the vast northern and western part of Mexico.

The one part of Mexico we missed 20 years ago, was the Yucatan peninsula. This vast area is home to the most spectacular Maya archaeological sites, some very well developed and cleared for easy access, others still largely burried underneath dense jungle vegetation. Add to that the sandy beaches, the pristine cenotes, several atmospheric colonial cities and the opportunity to visit friends of ours, and the case to return to Mexico was easily made.
