Mexico, January 2003
The following pictures were taken during a visit to Xcaret, an ecological themepark
Flamingo's and parrots
Worshipping the Sun God
Spinning down, upside down!
The aquarium...
A crocodile...
...jaguar...
...panther...
...and many, many butterflies!
Replica of an old Mayan village
In the evening there's a magnificent show!
The following pictures were taken in Coba, a Maya site recently discovered and not yet renovated. If you decide to go there some day, be aware that it's in the middle of the jungle and requires a fair bit of walking on uneven terrain.
Tulum, an old, renovated Mayan city on the sea. Hint: don't by souvenirs here, it's about 3x as expensive as at other places!
Our hotel (highly recommendable): Iberostar Tucan in Playa del Carmen
One of the many excellent restaurants
The hotel has it's own flora and fauna, with peacocks, many different birds, monkeys etc.
The beach at the hotel
And the swimming pool...
This waterfall can also be found at the hotel...
The beautiful hotel rooms, with towel art!Last, but not least, the beautiful sunset at Playa del Carmen...
