YUCATAN PENINSULA
Mexico |
|
|
|
I've been to the Yucatan Peninsula several times on 2 and 3 week bike trips always between the months of January and March. I explored the Gulf Coast, the Caribbean Coast and the ruins and villages around Merida.
The weather at this time of year can vary considerably. It can be cool and overcast but mostly its warm and sunny. It's never too hot to ride a bike. Its usually just right.
Except for the area south of Merida the roads in this region are very flat. Any hills are short and not steep. Traffic is light and the roads I travelled on were all paved and in good condition.
Finding food and water along my routes was not a problem. I often ate at road side food stalls or in markets. Bottled water and Coke is readily available everywhere. |
