Hi All
I'm a 60yo male travelling alone. I will be flying into Can
Cun next April and flying out of Mexico City nine days
later. My main interests, apart from simply enjoying Mexico
and it's people, will be to see the ancient Mayan and Aztec
sites.
I seem to have three choices.
1. Spend a few days based in Valladolid or nearby and do day
trips to Chichen Itza and similar places, then fly to Mexico
City for a couple of days at Teotihuacan and similar; or
2. Wander independently using local buses without
pre-booking from Can Cun to Mexico city, seeing places like
Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Kabah, Palanque and similar on the way.
3. A mix of those two, spending three days each at
Valladolid, Palanque and Mexico City and using luxury buses
between them.
I've never been to Mexico before but those who have are
warning me against option 2 for security reasons.
I'd appreciate any comments or advice, particularly on the
difficulty of finding local bus timetables, routes and
departure points and on security for a non-Spanish speaking
single traveler.
Cheers, Alan, Australia
