We got up early so we could profit from the various sites around. But Europcar failed big time. The local agency did not receive our booking and so they had no car. 3 hours later we finally got wheels and we were off for Playa de Carmen. This village is quite European style vacation and made a good lunch stop. Just next to Playa de Carmen is the Blue Cynote where we had a good swim.
We continued to Cobá where we learned that we just came in late so no admission and we had to watch the ruins from the view tower. Thank you Europcar! So we continued our trip to Punta Laguna. This is a nice lake side natural park whit a great sunset. But beside of that not much is going on. So we had the apes and ants shown by a very young guide and then we went back to Cancun.
The next day we took the 300 km to Chichén Itzá. Probably the most impressive Maya sight on the peninsula. But before reaching it we stopped at the Dzitnup Cynote. It was cool and fun to swim in this impressive cave under the surface.
We eventually reached Chichén Itzá around 2pm giving us some 3 hours to explore the place. This was just enough to walk the whole park but not much more. The most impressive of course is the pyramide at the center which claims to be one of the new 7 wonders. But the massive Cynote is also not too bad.
On the way back we took some photos on the main square of Valladolid and came right back to Cancun to party at Dady’O.
