Thanks for this video, I’m going to Bacalar (as well as Merida and Campeche) in May and have been watching a lot of videos like this and it has taken me a long time to find a travel vloger who’s not a total douche. Finally just a down to earth guy in a band t-shirt exploring, like me.

Nice video, thanks for the information. You mentioned Piña miel, which is a very sweet pineapple; miel means honey in spanish.

[myleneavend]

Thanks for this video. I’m planning to do a trip to Bacalar and the ruins. Your trip is my kind of vacation too, not the touristy noisy party. I hope they don’t turn Bacalar like Tulum.
