​

Cost

I travelled for about 20-25$/day (2008). For today's prediction visit this website.

How long do I need

It always depends on your travel speed, but 1-2 weeks for a specific region and at least 3-4 weeks for the entire country.

Personal Highlights
I have only visited the south of Mexico, so my personal highlights are only base on my experiences.
  • Palenque: Discover the Maya civilization. 
  • Tulum: You can see ruins while swimming in the ocean.
  • Chichén Itzà
  • Mérida: A city that worths the stop.
