Such great beaches in the Yucatán! Each has its own special feel. What a huge gift to get to experience them!!
Vamos a la playa…oh, oh, oh, oooh…I remembered when we first visited Merida, after Chichén Itzá
Great video again. We are heading to Chuburna for a month. So excited
A whole month? That's so fun! So happy for you my friends! Give the mangroves a try. It looked really fun when we were there but we didn't get to take the tour. I also think it might be the start of flamingo season 🦩
informative video, I am just learning about that area Looking to move there soon.
Thank you for watching, Sue! As someone who's seen most of Mexico, it's my favorite area in the entire country. I'm sure you'll enjoy spending time there.
Excellent information dude!! Really impressed by your English, very advanced. Los Latinos, les usan la frase menciones honorables en Español? Regarding San Crisanto, there used to be a really good deep fried fish restaurant I recall before the pandemic on the main road. Also, if you haven't been on the gondola tour through the mangroves provided by the local council, living in Mérida 3 years, this was one of my favourite tours of all! You access it by booking near the local baseball club at the oval sports ground.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! 😁 I appreciate the support! That restaurant sounds good! We got tipped off by a Merida friend about San Crisanto, but we were there on a bad day and didn't get to really explore the area as much as we'd want to. Great excuse to go back though! And I completely agree with you, the mangrove forests in Yucatan are a national treasure!
Btw, yes! We love saying "Honorable Mentions" in Spanish 🤣 Every contest or ranking has to have one!
Safe travels amigo! Espero estes bien! Abrazo!
