Anyone know Mexico?

[MoMack]

I'm thinking about heading down after NYE - flying into Cancun and then going somewhere else... anybody familiar with the area?

Do I need to pre-book accomodations that time of year?

Where should I go?

Help!!!

Go see the pyramids at "Chetzin Intza"(sp). It is a totally touristy thing to do but it's really neat to and a whole days activity.

This one's visa all the way. (Damn I wish I would have won in Vegas...)

on the west coast south of Acupulco: Zipolite (clothes optional beach where the party never ends) is fun! It's near Escondito and Puerto Angel too if you want to go surfing. (and Mezunte where the giant turtles go to lay eggs)

You might want to avoid Oaxaca at the moment, even though it is one of the coolest towns I've ever spent time... there's some violent shit going on there at the moment.

Chiapas: San Cristobal De Las Casas, it's near the amazing ruins of Palenque which I highly recommend.

The Yucatan: Tulum is a paradise with amazing ruins on white sandy beaches. The natives feel it is the centre of the universe.

I would avoid the touristy areas like Cancun, Acupulco etc... everything's more expensive and the experience is different (tainted)

Try to learn some Spanish before you go.. it makes a lot of difference.

hope that helps a bit, have fun!

if scuba diving is your thing my friends own a place that's a 4 hour drive south of cancun. check them out. they'd be able to tell you some really good places in the area to check out.
