    In this video we travel to the beautiful Yucatan town of El Cuyo. This town is a must visit destination with pristine beaches in a remote set location. On the narrow causeway that connects the Island to the Yucatan Peninsula we see dozens of wild Flamingos who can be seen year round in this beautiful area. We visit several Restaurants and showcase the most spectacular food, which was a complete surprise for this sleepy Fishing Town. The highlight of the trip is undoubtedly our visit to the El Gordo Chili a Gastronomical delight. Here we enjoy a seven course tasting menu set in a delightful, quaint little Restaurant right in the heart of the Village. What a surprise!! This is without doubt the best meal we have had, to date in all of Mexico. Please enjoy!!

    Enjoy it while it lasts. With all the vlogging and Instagramers it too will fall victim. I watched isla mujeres, Tulum and Bacalar get over developed and become tourist traps . The Yucatán is such a very special place ❤️

    • @RickRackTravels

    How lucky you were to catch a Mexican fun fair - we love these! The octopus-stuffed chile at El Chile Gordo looked especially good and you even had a resident dog and cat at Restaurant La Negrita - perfect! El Cuyo looks like a lovely little town!

    Was this filmed recently, we are in Tulum for 8 days and the beaches are horrible because of the sargassum, is there any there?
    We are willing to take a trip

      Aw I’m sorry to hear about the sargassum. Yes it was only filmed earlier in the week, and not a drop of sargassum. The water is gorgeous- definitely recommend!!

      It is ‘Atlantis’, Vens Adams. We just love that track.

    Not to dwell on the negative but did you guys hear about the crocodile ocean attack in PV in June? Are there ever crocodiles in the ocean there?

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  Před 3 lety

      Hi Lezlie, Yes, we did read about that incident in PV. Very sad. I have never personally seen a crocodile in the ocean (and hope never to) And if it happens I would imagine a very rare occurrence. In next weeks video we show a lagoon in el cuyo that has crocodiles 🐊 I think they just stay in that area and our guide told us they mostly come out and feed at night

    • @lezlieoconnor3495
      @lezlieoconnor3495 Před 3 lety

      Yikes. Do you see them in the cenotes? We are coming in 2 months. Just trying to know all the ins and outs. Thanks for replying.

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  Před 3 lety +2

      We have only seen one crocodile in a Cenote and that was near Tulum and it was called ‘Casa Cenote’ . I believe they called the crocodile ‘Poncho’ lol. I really didn’t enjoy my time there (too scary for me) but it was brackish (salt) water. Most cenotes are fresh water and no crocs - do not worry 😊
