Trip Itinerary

Xcalak
Day 1-3
The warm Caribbean breeze, the ever-present, soothing crash of the waves breaking on the barrier reef. The sunrise of soft pinks, Mars-like reds, and intense oranges. Long walks, without ever passing another soul. Are some of the few things that make this destination magical and perfect for a new beginning year. This will be our base for our stay and it is one of the very few areas in Mexico that still has untouched beaches. I picked this place because of it's many possible activities for any kind of mood, it is perfect for fly fishing the saltwater flats, snorkeling the coral reefs (just steps from our door), simply eating too much food and napping in the shade of a palm, diving ior kyaking.

Bacalar Lagoon
Day 3-5
Bacalar, also known as the seven color lagoon is one of my favorite places in Mexico, this unique turquoise lakes in Quintana Roo are the perfect detour that promises to take your breathe away with its shades of blue and healing sands.
3
Blue Cenote
Day 5-7
The Mayan considered cenotes to be an entrance to their "underworld" or "Xibalba" where their gods live and their spirits reside. Don't miss the opportunity to soak in this magical piece of unique natural beauty located just a few kilometers away from our bungalows.

Chacchoben
Day 7-9
Located in Costa Maya and just an hour away from Mahahual. This space was once reserved for ceremonies and ritual, now ours to discover. We will experience the world of the ancient Mayans and understand, a little bit better, their vision of their universe while enlivening your senses with the sounds of nature.
5
Punta Herrero
Day 9-11
Punta Herrero is really the "end of the road" for the Costa Maya, it's a small fishing village that harvests primarily lobster in the Bahia de Espiritu Santo. Punta Herrero is situated on a tiny sandspit between a beautiful lagoon and the ocean. Mangroves keep it from washing away. It is beautiful and worth visiting, this will be the first time here for me too.
6
Reserva de la Biósfera Sian Ka'an
Day 11-13
Sian Ka'an which means the door to paradise in mayan, isa sublime area of natural beauty, home to thousands of species of flora and fauna; and possibly one of the most astonishing parts of the Yucatan peninsula, it is located 3,5 hours north of Xcalak. It is possible to rent a car or hire a tour to take us there, depending of how many of us would join.
7
Playa Mahahual
Day 13-15
Mahahual beach, where you can slow down, relax, and connect with beautiful nature. With its clear waters and and infinite palm trees, this is the ultimate escape for an after work afternoon. It's also the place where I've had the most amazing tuna tostadas, you can find many bars, small restaurants by the beach and the best affordable beach massages that you could find.
8
Maya Chan Beach
Day 15-17
We will find a tropical atmosphere, calm and clear waters, and a plethora of things to do. Relax in beach bars nestled in thick palms, sipping cocktails and enjoying good food, or hire a kayak and explore the ocean. Get your snorkeling gear on and try to spot rays and sea turtles, or just settle down on the sand with a good book.
