Where We Are Going.

The map to the left shows the area where we are going to be spending most of our time in relation to where Mexico City is located and in relation to the whole country. We will be spending 17 days in the Yucatan Peninsula and 4 days 3 nights in Mexico City on the way back home.






The map below shows the highlighted section on the right hand side of the first map. The cities highlighted are those that we will be staying in.
Puerto Morelos is the Caribbean beach town where we have booked 12 nights. It is a town of roughly 3,000-4,000 people.We chose it for a quiet couple of weeks on the beach.
We head from there to Merida for 2 nights. Merida is the capital of the state of Yucatan and is an old colonial town which was founded about 450 years ago and has been inhabited for centuries prior to the arrival of the Conquistadors.
Then back to Cancun for our final 3 nights in the region. I guess it is like Surfers Paradise on steroids for all our Aussie readers. It is the heart of tourism in Mexico with more visitors per year than any other place in the country.

                                                                                                                                                                                              




















Last but not least we will have 3 nights in Mexico City. A city with as many people as all of Australia.
