Do yourself a favor...land in Cancun, spend a night and day there, and

overdeveloped, overpopulated, overpriced, et cetera. There are also
some nice "colonial"cities in the Yucatan inland areas.


Sounds like it has changed a lot since I was there 12-15 years ago.
Cozumel was a tourist trap and a crappy one at that.



Cancun is the very definition of tourist trap. If you've not been to
Chichen Itza, a good place to explore on the way is Valladolid and the
nearby ruins at Ek' Balam.



I would like to see the pyramids and ruins. Too bad Cancun went to hell.
