It may take some time to get there but it\u2019s surely worth it! Picture impressive Mayan temples, add a white Caribbean beach and waving palm trees and you can relax and enjoy a great holiday with the whole family. Colonial cities are hidden in the tropical rain forest and they\u2019re full of wild animals. So Mexico really caters to everyone\u2019s needs: action, culture, nature and relaxation. The travelling mothers of RiksjaKids gladly share their highlights in\u00a0Mexico with kids<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Highlights in Mexico with kids<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 Lost temple city Calakmul<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Hidden in the tropical rain forest are the jungle\u00a0temples of Calakmul<\/a>. The temples are not the only impressive sight, so is the road that leads to them. With a little luck you might spot some jaguars. And for those of you that aren\u2019t as lucky, not to worry, you\u2019ll surely spot some spider monkeys, foxes and toucans. The temples are about 55 meters high and that makes them the highest Mayan-temples of Mexico. Once you\u2019re up there you can look out over the jungle and you can even see El Mirador, a temple in the neighboring country Guatemala. On your way to the temples you\u2019ll pass a bat cave where close to three million bats swarm outside during dusk, a most impressive sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 Peddling on Blue Lagoon Bacalar<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Mexico with kids is not just climbing temples and hiking through the jungle but a little relaxation fits in perfectly well. Be sure to visit Bacalar on the way, check into a nice hotel and enjoy an ice cold Sol. The Bacalar Lagoon is crystal clear and because of the white sand on the bottom the lagoon has an impressive turquoise color. You\u2019re best off exploring the lagoon by kayak with a guide. You\u2019ll navigate past mangroves and watch the sun come up. The lake will change color every minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Indiana Jones in the jungle<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Palenque<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is one of the most well-known and therefore crowded Maya ruins. While most people enjoy visiting the smaller cluster of exposed temples we like to venture a little further into the jungle. You\u2019ll spot wildlife and see other, less crowded temples there. OK, so you will have to wade through a few rivers and you may get startled by the roars of howler monkeys but as soon as you arrive at Templo Olvidado (the lost temple) we surely thought it was worth the trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 At home with the Mayans\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Together with a guide we venture into an authentic\u00a0Mayan village<\/a>. Because the guide lives here he can explain everything very well to you and is greeted by everyone! At Guadalupe you can join at the dinner table and learn to make your own tortillas with corn, water and salt. Meanwhile the neighbor is busy weaving hammocks. They sleep in these too because there are no mattresses or beds here. The famous Chichen Itza temple is very near and is certainly worth a visit too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 Caribbean taste<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Last but not least you can\u2019t travel through Mexico without discovering the Caribbean beach! Just half an hour by boat, that\u2019s all it takes to get to the pearly beaches of\u00a0Isla Mujeres<\/a>There is a laid back ambiance, wavy palm trees and the water is a deep turquoise blue. Here you can look for shells in the surf and enjoy a nice cocktail or two. We went underwater too! During summer you can snorkel with whale sharks… And at night?\u00a0 We enjoyed a beautiful sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
