class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Trip length:<\/strong> Give yourself 2\u20133 weeks for the full Yucatan loop, ideally as a road trip with your own car from Canc\u00fan via Bacalar and Campeche back to M\u00e9rida.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When to go:<\/strong> The best weather runs from December to April; watch out for the American spring break in March, the highest prices at Christmas and Easter, and for sargassum, which plagues the Caribbean beaches in summer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transport:<\/strong> Besides a car, the ADO long-distance buses (longer routes $25\u201340) and local colectivos come in handy; never drive at night and factor in mandatory car insurance (TPL), which your credit card won&#8217;t cover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Main stops:<\/strong> Canc\u00fan, Playa del Carmen with a trip to Cozumel, Tulum, the lagoon of seven colours in Bacalar, colonial Campeche and M\u00e9rida, plus Valladolid with cenotes nearby.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayan ruins:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t skip Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 (opens at 8:00, avoid Sundays when Mexicans enter for free) or the smaller and quieter Ek Balam, where you can still climb the acropolis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cenotes and swimming:<\/strong> Suyt\u00fan, Dos Ojos or the authentic Hom\u00fan cluster are among the unforgettable experiences \u2013 entrance fees are usually 250\u2013350 pesos and regular sunscreens are banned to protect the water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holbox and the whale shark:<\/strong> This car-free island is a beautiful finale to the trip, and from mid-May to September you can swim with the whale shark here under strict rules (snorkel only, two people in the water).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Money and practical tips:<\/strong> Pay in pesos and decline DCC (an 8\u20139% surcharge), keep cash for markets and colectivos, drink only bottled water and don&#8217;t forget travel insurance (EHIC doesn&#8217;t work in Mexico).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2

you&#8217;ll be glad to set off for three weeks. The extra time lets you explore less touristy spots and spend a few days in the cenotes and on the beach. And it is worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Before planning your trip, we recommend checking whether the invasive seaweed sargassum is currently running wild (track it in real time <a href=\"http:\/\/seas-forecast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>). In recent years the beaches have suffered from it more and more often.

It links the main spots on this itinerary \u2013 <strong>Canc\u00fan airport, Playa del Carmen, Tulum airport, Valladolid, M\u00e9rida, Campeche<\/strong> and on to Palenque in Chiapas. If you don&#8217;t want to deal with a rental car and mandatory insurance (TPL), it&#8217;s a comfortable and cheaper alternative for hopping between stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Keep in mind that <strong>stations are often a fair way out of town<\/strong> (you&#8217;ll need a taxi or colectivo to reach the centre) and that the project is still fairly new, so <strong>timetables and prices change<\/strong> \u2013 check current connections and buy your ticket in advance on the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trenmaya.gob.mx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tren Maya<\/a> website.

It&#8217;s a 1.5\u20132 hour drive through the jungle, but it is worth it. Calakmul is little-visited but a gigantic Mayan city that was once hugely important. You can still climb the majestic pyramids, including the second-tallest pyramid ever discovered, standing at 55 metres.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During our visit we met only a handful of tourists, and we had most of the views entirely to ourselves. Because of that, you might even spot families of howler monkeys (extremely loud primates) while you explore. <strong>Spend another night in Xpujil \u2013 a longer transfer awaits you in the morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Xpujil\"><\/span><strong>Where to stay in Xpujil<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xpujil isn&#8217;t much of a tourist town, so expect simpler accommodation and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We drove all over town and can recommend just one little hotel with a clear conscience: <strong>Casa Kaan Calakmul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"San_Francisco_de_Campeche_1%E2%80%932_nights\"><\/span><strong>San Francisco de Campeche (1\u20132 nights)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A town we came to for one night and stayed three.<\/strong> We expected nothing from San Francisco de Campeche, but we discovered a Yucatan gem.
