This summer, after joining up with a couple of friends and meeting a new one at a friend’s wedding in Mérida, Yucatán, the four of us rented a car and embarked on a two day journey that took us from place to place at an unprecedented pace, yet very rewarding and truly unforgettable. This also marks one of the first trips where the majority of photos were not take by me. I lent my camera to César, one of the guys who came with us on this fantastic trip. So here, I give credit to his wonderful eye for capturing the essence of our trip through this magical land.
The first day we headed from the beautiful white city of Mérida towards the world-famous Mayan archeological site of Chichén Itzá, after visiting there for a bit, we took off to Valladolid, a very old city, one of the first to be founded by the conquistadores in America. From there we headed for the shores, but not before facing some harsh weather on the way. First we stopped at Tulúm, then Xcaret, just in time for the fabulous evening program, and after that to Playa del Carmen… and do you think these boys rested there??? noooo, that was just a semi-long pit stop before finally making it to Cancún and basking in the sun most of the next day! well, without further ado, enjoy this sampling of pics as well as the complete set of photos! 
The following pics are just a sampling, to view the complete set click here.
