We spent eight days on a self-drive road trip around the Yucatán, and it was the perfect way to explore ruins, cenotes, and tacos on our own schedule. Here's how to do it right—without losing a tire to a hidden speed bump.

Swimming in cenotes near Valladolid was the highlight of our Mexico trip—cool, clear water in underground caves and open-air pools, each with its own personality. From rope swings to lily pads, it was part adventure, part chill, and 100% unforgettable.

We beat the crowds, wandered the ruins, and still made it back before lunch. Here’s our no-nonsense guide to visiting Chichén Itzá—when to go, what to expect, and how to actually enjoy it without turning it into a marathon or a tourist trap.

Join us on a culinary side quest to find the best cheap lunch in Cancun—hidden in a white shack outside Mercado 28, where Rafael's legendary mole changes everything.

What’s it like to swim with a creature the size of a school bus? In Cancún, we found out. Gentle giants, plankton buffets, strict rules—and one unforgettable day.

On our first night in Cancún, a local recommended something called huitlacoche—corn smut. It sounded questionable, but we ordered it anyway. Turns out, it was one of the best things we ate in Mexico.

This was our last trip with all five of us. A road trip through Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula gave us whale sharks, cenotes, ruins—and a chance to hold on just a little longer.
