Backpacking Adventure 2010 – Week 1

The group's current location: Nuevo Durango/Mexico

After their first day in Cancun’s hotel zone and some Spanish lessons with their guide, Cris, we planned some fun at night for our group of backpackers. On Saturday they went together to the most famous nightclub in the Riviera Maya, the Cogo Bongo. There, they could enjoy the amazing show and a lot of Latino-nightlife.

The next day, the group went on their bicycles to famous Isla Mujeres, a rather small but relaxing island a few kilometers away from the mainland. Because of its crystal clear water, Isla Mujeres is a really famous snorkeling spot.

After a free Sunday and further Spanish classes, our Danish visitors headed to Mexico’s third biggest island, Cozumel. Located approximately 20km away from Playa del Carmen on the mainland, this island is worldwide popular for its marvelous diving opportunities. So actually there would be no better place for our group to do their PADI diving certification course than Cozumel. During three days of practical and theoretical training with experienced dive instructors they finally passed the tests which was rewarded with a great certification party.

Right now they should be on their way to Nuevo Durango, a Mexican community north of Cancun where they will participate in the local life and gain great experiences.

Catch up on them on their way through the Mayan World. Read about the different destinations, about their experiences meeting other people and about all the adventures on their way. In the following weeks we will publish articles about their tour right here in this blog. Check out their photo album on Facebook, too.
