Tulum and the Riviera Maya

Crystal clear water, white, endless beaches and a Caribbean flair await you on the Riviera Maya. The coast stretches over 150 km – from the popular resort of Cancún to Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The Riviera is the center of Mexico’s international tourism and accordingly well developed. Many luxury hotels and amusement parks are located here. On the many beach parties you party to the music of international DJ celebrities and the leisure offer is huge. No wonder that this unique region inspires so many people. Off the coast of the Riviera is one of the world’s best diving spots, especially the island of Cozumel is famous for it. Snorkeling is also possible along the entire coast. If you are in the region during the summer months, you will have the opportunity to snorkel with whale sharks, a unique and fascinating experience that you will never forget. In the south you will find the Sian Ka’an National Park, which is famous for its variety of birds. You can take beautiful tours by boat through the mangrove forests and enjoy the impressive nature.

Another highlight of the region are the cenotes, natural pools filled with fresh water, which invite you to dive, snorkel and swim. There are countless of these enchanting places in the Riviera.

Tulum is our favorite place on the Riviera, so we have plenty of gorgeous hostels to work with here. Crave endless white beaches, crazy beach parties and a hip vibe, you’ll find your happiness in Tulum. It’s rare to find such a laid-back vibe anywhere else. The town is full of backpackers from all over the world and has a lively bar and restaurant scene. That’s why it’s teeming with cool hostels and hotels just waiting for you. It’s made for an unforgettable work and travel adventure.

However, if it gets to be too much for you, you are not far away from various islands in the Caribbean Sea, where you can completely switch off. The internet connection on Isla Holbox is still poor, so there is more time for long walks on the beach or one of the numerous hostel parties on the island. We love Holbox and have therefore included the Animal Shelter to our programs. Even if you’re only there for a short time, it’s worth it to pay the animals a visit. If you prefer a little more infrastructure, but don’t want to miss out on the island feeling, you’ll love it on Isla Mujeres.

Chichán Itzé and the ruins of Yucatán

Explore what we consider the most breathtaking Mayan city of all. Along with the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu, the Temple of Kukulkan in Chichén Itzá, is on the list of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

This fascinating pyramid symbolizes the greatness of the Mayan culture. Keeping an eye on the architecture, the city must have played a nationally important role at that time.

Like Palenque, Chichén Itzá was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 and attracts up to 8,000 visitors daily. So don’t miss it!

If Chichén Itzá is too touristy for you and you would rather explore a Mayan ruin far away from the footsteps of other travelers, we also recommend Ek Balam, located near Chichén Itzá. Also, on the way from Tulum to Valladolid you will find the ruins of Cobá, where you can even explore the largest temple on foot. From the top you will overlook the endless expanse of the jungle, a magical moment.

San Miguel de Allende

The city is a gem of the colonial era and is one of the prettiest small towns in Mexico. The year-round spring-like climate attracts backpackers, students, culture vultures and language students alike.

Guanajuato is unique in many ways. Not a single road goes straight, instead they curve up and down the steep slopes, wind around hills, disappear into tunnels, and then suddenly reappear at another corner. Much of the road traffic is underground, using old mine shafts as tunnels.

Rich silver and gold deposits made Guanajuato an urban jewel. Ornate architecture and buildings painted in bright colors characterize the cityscape. The historic old town and mining sites were added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1989.

Three hours northwest of Mexico City lies a gem of colonial architecture. San Miguel Allende is especially popular with artists, who have settled here.

Best time to travel

As diverse as the country is, so is the climate. Due to the proximity to the equator, moderate temperatures prevail throughout the year, creating optimal travel conditions. Due to the size of the country, the climate is not the same everywhere. In the highlands it can get very fresh in the winter months, the north is characterized by warm summers and cool winters.
On the other hand, the Caribbean coast in the east of the country offers year-round bathing weather. The endless south coast of Mexico offers a tropical climate, which is accompanied by high humidity and constant temperatures of about 30 degrees.
The rainy season is present throughout the country at different times. However, between May and October it rains basically more than during the dry season. In central Mexico, the rain tends to come in short, intense downpours in the afternoons, while in southern Mexico the climate is consistently tropical and warm, and it always stays warm despite a few hours of rain.
As soon as the rain stops here, you can be sure that the sun will show its best side again.
The rainy season in the project country of your choice should not be a criterion for exclusion, as the country simply shows itself from a different side. In the rainy season, many accommodations are cheaper and there are fewer tourists than in the dry season. And also the vegetation is changed at this time. If you decide to travel to Mexico during the rainy season, you will be able to experience nature there in its full splendor and bloom.

Transportation

Mexico has a well-developed transportation network. The huge country is therefore easy to travel by public transport.
Since public buses pass through all major towns, it is a particularly good means of transportation for your trip. There are some large bus companies that offer regional and intercity trips and many small, local operators. The buses in Mexico are also much more comfortable than the buses we are used to in Germany. From simple buses to luxury class, everything is available in Mexico. The buses run regularly, for long distances there are corresponding night buses. However, it is advisable to purchase the ticket in advance, as the heavily frequented routes are often booked up quickly. The ticket can be purchased via an app of the bus company or at the counter at the local bus station. The 1st class buses travel quickly and often make no stops between major cities. In addition, some bus companies offer free WiFi on board. The less expensive buses, on the other hand, make more frequent stops along the way.
Another option for traveling Mexico is by air. Due to the numerous low-cost airlines, a plane ticket is sometimes cheaper than the bus. Therefore, it is always worthwhile to compare prices. From Mexico City to Cancún you can get a ticket for 30 euros if you are lucky.
A special highlight for every traveler is a train ride. Although the railroad traffic was largely shut down in 1990, two impressive routes can still be covered by train. From Los Mochis on the Pacific coast, the train travels through breathtaking canyons and over bridges in the so-called “Copper Valley”, through the Sierra Tarahumara to Chihuahua.
Also not to be missed is the ride on the Tequila Express. From the capital of Jalisco, Guadalajara, the train travels to the city of origin of the Mexican popular drink with the same name “Tequlia”.
Ferries run regularly to the Caribbean islands from various departure ports, as well as to Baja California in northwestern Mexico.
Ferries operate regularly to the Caribbean islands, as well as to Baja California.

Visa

In Mexico you enter comfortably with the tourist visa and are allowed to stay 6 months in the country. The entry is strictly controlled by the migration authorities and upon arrival you will be asked for the address for your first overnight stay as well as for onward or return flights. All our programs can be completed with a tourist visa. If you want to do a volunteer project or an internship for a longer period of time, we will take care of your visa. It is also possible to travel to neighboring Guatemala after the 6 months and then re-enter Mexico. Then you can stay for another 6 months.

Travel expenses

In Mexico, you pay with the Mexican peso. In general, the cost of living is much lower than in Germany, which is good for the wallet.
As a low-budget traveler, you can get by with a daily budget of 20 – 30 euros. For the food you have to plan about 7 Euro per day. However, this includes cooking in the hostel from time to time. At the markets you will find great regional food and you will meet many nice people from all over the world in the hostel kitchen. The prices in the supermarket and on markets are below those in Germany. You can get three tacos on the side of the road for 2 – 3 euros, a meal in a local restaurant for 2 – 6 euros, a cocktail costs 3 – 4 euros and a beer about 2 euros. A night in a hostel costs between 7 and 18 euros, depending on the region. For a 5-hour bus ride you will pay between 6 and 12 euros, depending on the region, and a 14-hour ride on the night bus costs about 30 euros.
In the tourist areas of the Riviera Maya you will notice a significant price difference compared to the rest of the country, but still you have the choice between fancy European standard restaurants, street food or many local restaurants.
Our tip: Be sure to wait for your visit to Oaxaca to buy cheap souvenirs for friends and family, the same pieces can be found at the Rivera Maya for three times the price.

History and culture

Before you visit this beautiful and diverse country, it certainly doesn’t hurt to know a little about its history. The local people will certainly be able to tell you a lot, but they will be happy if you already have some knowledge yourself.
Mexico’s history is marked by pre-Columbian civilizations, Spanish colonial rule and a long struggle for independence. Long before Christopher Columbus discovered America, different peoples lived in Mexico. Between 800 – 500 BC, the Zapotecs settled in Oaxaca and the Mayans on the Yucatán Peninsula. At that time the now famous Monte Albán was built, which you can visit outside of Oaxaca. Several other tribes joined them and built temples and entire cities in the areas they ruled, often several thousand meters above sea level. After Columbus arrived in 1492 and the Spanish led by Hernan Cortes in 1519, some Mayan and Aztec-held cities were lost to them. Also the then Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, on the ruins of which the present capital Mexico City was built.
It was not until 1821 that Mexico became independent of Spain and officially declared a republic. Today, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country and a total of 62 indigenous languages are recognized as official national languages.

WanderWorld Insider Tips from our contributor Lisa

Mexico is a country that really fascinates everyone from the first moment. Our contributor Lisa has already been able to travel to some places of Mexico herself and has summarized her favorite places and experiences of her trip in 4 highlights.

  1. Oaxaca is a vibrant, colorful and lively city. I was in love with the beautiful houses, cute restaurants, markets, and food from the first moment I saw it! Oaxaca has the best cuisine in Mexico, plus the traditional mezcal. My favorite dish there is the tlayuda, a huge, thin and crispy tortilla, topped with different ingredients. Oaxaca is the perfect place to experience the culture of Mexico! You can stroll through the beautiful colonial style streets in a pleasant climate and meet friends in a bar in the evening. For “Día de los Muertos”, the city is also decorated for days and there are big parades and parties.
  2. In Puerto Escondido I went surfing for the first time in my life and it was incredibly fun. The beaches are gorgeous and the waves are perfect for standing on the board for the first time. For me it was really exhausting, but this sense of achievement to stand a wave on the board is just outstanding! In the evening, you can have a well-deserved meal in the delicious restaurants and then go party in the beach bars and clubs.
  3. You’ll never get bored in Guadalajara. I can walk there for hours through the beautiful city and always discover new corners. The city combines the old colonial style with the modernity of a big city. Guadalajara is typically Mexican and I like the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether it’s a shopping tour or sightseeing, the city is a must-see on any Mexico trip. It also has top notch restaurants and a great hostel scene
  4. I had a total goosebump moment when I was in Mexico for Día de Muertos. The Day of the Dead is held annually on November 2, with preparations starting as early as mid-October. It was an unforgettable experience to stand in a cemetery in Michoacán at night with candlelight and music. The atmosphere was a bit spooky, but at the same time it was beautiful to see how Mexicans visited the graves of their relatives and still live this culture today. All the graves were decorated with flowers and candles, people were dancing, drinking, laughing, and crying in the cemetery – a very special experience. If you have the unique opportunity to be in Mexico at this time, you should definitely spend the holidays in Oaxaca or Michoacán.
