<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Innovative Hotel Clásico located on the corner of 58 and 53 in Oxkutzcab has a selection of accommodations that are very competitively priced. Oxkutzcab is a fun place to visit and also very affordable. <br /><br /><b>Miguel Pacheco has returned to the U.S.</b><br />Miguel Pacheco spent more than twenty years of his life as a chef in the U.S.A. He has brought back to Oxkutzcab Italian style culinary delights that have world class quality but Mexican prices. A few years ago, he opened Café la Cocina on the north side of the market in Oxkutzcab. <br />Miguel’s Italian specialties and his Mexican breakfast burrito creation combined the very best of two worlds. They were not only savory but nutritious and sustaining. <br />Miguel’s business was good but the cash flow wasn’t. His old boss from the restaurant where he worked on Lombardi Street in San Francisco begged him to come back to San Francisco. He closed Café la Cocina in Oxkutzcab and returned to his old job in the U.S. His family is still in Oxkutzcab and Miguel intends to return in a year to stay and home for good. We look forward to his return.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> This is the heart of Yucatan’s fruit and vegetable marketing where most transactions are for crate and truck load size sales.

new modest little motel is directly across the street from the Lol-Tún

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">From November until May northern Yucatan is parched by its annual dry season. Looking at this photo of the Puuc hills and the tinder dryness it is hard to imagine that a place like this could sustain life, but it does. This area was recently torched and set ablaze in anticipation of the welcome June rain which signals that it is the season for planting and raising corn.<br /><br /><b>Read more of Oxkutzcab</b> and other fascinating stories about the places of Yucatan that tourists miss most in the books: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yucat-ns-Magic-M-rida-Side-Trips-Treasures/dp/1466371684/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1434062802" target="_blank"><i>Yucatán’s Magic - Mérida Side Trips</i></a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yucatan-Travelers-Trips-Valladolid-Tulum/dp/1482013134/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-3&qid=1434062858" target="_blank"><i>Yucatan for Travelers – Side Trips: Valladolid to Tulum</i>. </a><br />They are available in paperback and digital editions worldwide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">According to Wikipedia<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">,
</b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chapulines</i>, plural for<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> chapulín,</i> are grasshoppers that are
commonly eaten in certain areas of Mexico. The term is specific to Mexico and
is from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Natuatl</i>, the indigenous
language of that region. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They are collected only at certain times of year (from their
hatching in early May through the late summer/early autumn). After being
thoroughly cleaned and washed, they are toasted on a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">comal</i> (clay cooking surface) with garlic, lime juice and salt
containing extract of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">agave </i>worms,
lending a sour-spicy-salty taste to the finished product. Sometimes the
grasshoppers are also toasted with chili, although it can be used to cover up
for stale<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> chapulines</i>.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of the regions of Mexico where <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chapulines</i> are most widely consumed is Oaxaca where they are sold as snacks at
local sports events and are becoming a revival among foodies. It's debated how
long<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> chapulines</i> have been a food
source in Oaxaca. There is one reference to grasshoppers that are eaten in
early records of the Spanish conquest, in early to mid 16th century. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A special treat for us while visiting the sea shore is to
prepare our own <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ceviche</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We carry a small cutting board and a sharp knife, spoons and
forks…all that is needed. At the local market we buy limes, an onion, tomato
and chili pepper – serrano, jalapeño or habanero. In the afternoon we purchase
a fish fresh from the fishermen, fillet cut it in very thin slices, place it in
a plastic bag or bowl along with chopped tomato, diced onion, and chili pepper
(cilantro is a good addition to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ceviche</i>
but hard to sanitize on the road).Liberally squeeze lime juice over this
mixture. It is ready when the fish flesh turns white and is delicious. Eat on
soda crackers or with tortilla chips.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This delicious meal is convenient, requires no cooking and can
be prepared with limited equipment.</span></div>

white pelicans are silent giants equal in size to the great California condor.
They are graceful and powerful flyers with a nine foot wing span and among the
world’s largest aquatic birds. They migrate each fall from as far north as the Hudson Bay of northern Canada all the way here to Yucatan. Unlike their
brown pelican relatives, these huge birds do not dive for their fish, but wade
in shallow waters using their large bill as a fishing scoop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>N<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">orthern Yucatan’s tidal
estuaries are home to thousands of pink flamingos that fish the shallow salt
flats for shrimp and other <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mariscos</i>.
Their distinctive pink color is a result of a diet rich in these salt flat
marine creatures that impart the pink pigment directly to the birds. They
appear larger than they are because of gangly legs and an extremely long neck.
Adults have a 60 inch wing span and are 46 inches long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being sparsely populated and with good quiet roads and

You can do it by car, bus or taxi, but cycling is by far the most rewarding
especially with the wind on your back. Remember that this is the land of take

somewhere else. This is only a fishing village not geared to tourism or
travelers. The only hotel has a lack luster attitude with no off season rates.
Finding something to eat is the same story. The waterfront is smartly painted,
and the town is very clean.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">San Felipe makes an interesting stopover on the way to
somewhere else. This is only a fishing village not geared to tourism or
travelers. The only hotel has a lack luster attitude with no off season rates.
Finding something to eat is the same story. The waterfront is smartly painted,
and the town is very clean.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There was one thing that could be of interest; a boat ride
across the bay to the Gulf of Mexico beach could be procured for one hundred
pesos, and the guide said he would wait for you up to one hour for that price</span>. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Two hour express bus service to Mérida and less then half an hour to Valladolid make the out of the tourist loop town of Tizimín an ideal staging place for several seldom visited delightful side trips, which include:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Panabá, San Felipe, Rio Lagartos, Las Coloradas and return.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nearly all the above side trips can be made by bus/bike and/or car. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tizimín’s location is extraordinary with excellent eating options and diverse choices in accommodations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are no strangers to this one-of-a-kind getaway town. It is linked to Gulf Coast fishing villages, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cenotes</i>, plus ecological and biosphere reserves and situated in Yucatán’s only true cowboy country. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tizimín with a population of 46,971 (2010 census) is the second largest city in eastern Yucatán. Tizimín, whose Mayan name means place of the tapir, is a quiet easy going and friendly town central to the many dairy farms and cattle ranches in the area. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the center of the city is the 16th century Parroquia Los Santos Reyes de Tizimín (Church of the Three Kings) and its former Franciscan monastery. They are worth a visit. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The church is outwardly spartan, but inwardly mammoth and ornately adorned with interesting gilded statuary, the most impressive being the glass case containing the three kings or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Los </i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Santos</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Reyes de Tizimín.</i> Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6 of every year in Mexico. In Tizimín the celebration is a fair and festival that last over a week and starts the end of December. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The clean and well maintained municipal market on Calle 47 has a large food court featuring a wholesome variety of local specialty foods. Nights the parks have a wonderful selection of street venders selling Mexican traditional foods that include a wide variety of exquisite tamales.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The area is prosperous and growing rapidly. Bus and taxi service is excellent to Valladolid, Mérida and area towns. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Biking north and east of Tizimín is best in early mornings with the offshore sea breeze. Easterly mid morning onshore winds build through the afternoon. Take advantage of these winds and put the sun on your back with a tail wind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the book<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Incidents of Travel in Yucatan</i> published 1842, the author, John Stephens, listed the following as export items from Tizimín: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tortoise shell, skins, timber, logwood, India-rubber, incense, tobacco, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">achiote</i> (a substitute for saffron and a very rich dye), starch from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">yuca</i>, cotton, wax, honey, molasses, sugar, rum, castor oil, salt, amber, vanilla, hogs, and cochineal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According to British Admiralty charts from that time the northern coastal area of Yucatán was densely forested with 70 feet tall mahogany and zapote trees harvested for rubber. That solid forest survived over three hundred years of Spanish occupation but would not survive another century. The tropical timber completely vanished into a lumber mill at nearby Colonia Yucatán. Today the timber has been replaced by dairy farming and cattle ranching. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This trip can be made by bike or bus. If you wish to bike and have time constraints or prefer a more leisurely trip, take the bus from Tizimín to Panabá and then bike the 30 kilometers to San Felipe. Spend a night in a San Felipe hotel or take a swim and then bike on another 12 km to Rio Lagartos. Another consideration is to get an early start on your bike before the onshore sea breeze that begins near ten a.m. This wind can be used to your advantage when returning from Rio Lagartos where you will want to spend at least one night. To return to Tizimín you can take the bus or bike the 56 kilometers. </span></div>

The name implies river of alligators but there are no rivers in Yucatán only alligators. Situated within the nearly 150,000 acre Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, the topography is low coastal scrub, mangrove marshes, lagoons, sand spit barrier islands and sandy beaches. Guided boat tours include lagoon trips, flamingo watching, seasonal migrating birds and sea turtle observations. Guides speak Spanish, English and Italian.

The topography consists of a unique coastal ecosystem of mangroves, dunes and lagoons that is semi-arid making it ideal for solar dehydrating sea salt. Sea salt production has been done here since ancient Mayan times when huge trading canoes transported this heavy product to ports as distant as Central America, Florida and Veracruz. Today that production continues and the product is loaded into trucks, ships and railway cars. Las Coloradas can be reached by bus from Tizimín and Rio Lagartos. There are accommodations at nearby Rio Lagartos. Bicycling is good with limited but quiet roads. </span></div>

This is a chapter from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yucat%C3%A1ns-Magic-M%C3%A9rida-Side-Trips-Treasures/dp/1466371684/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318194536&sr=8-1">Yucatán's Magic - Mérida Side Trips: Treasures of Mayab</a>, by John M. Grimsrud.<br />
<b><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Buses and Bus Terminals of Mérida, Yucatán</span></b><br />
The intention of this chapter is to assist those adventurers and bicyclers who wish to incorporate bus/taxi transport into their travel adventures in and out of Mérida. <br />
First class and luxury buses will definitely get you there fast and efficiently, but for fun, excitement, and adventure, second class will take you to the places that tourists miss most. They travel to the out of the way villages where you will meet the people that live there. Second class buses stop on demand, and take longer than first class buses, and they are perfect for eccentric penny pinchers.<br />
The following information does not give a complete list of all the destinations that the numerous Mérida bus companies service. However, that current information can be found by visiting the websites or calling the phone numbers below. <br />
Not all buses have space for full-sized bicycles. Folding bicycles that are folded are best because they will go on or in all buses and <i>colectivo </i>taxis (vans), and even if there is no storage space below or luggage rack on top, many will accommodate your bicycle inside. You might have to buy an extra seat for the displaced space.<br />
Full-sized bikes usually can be stowed below in the baggage compartment on first class buses and on the second class bus lines of Mayab and Orienté. There is sometimes a charge for a bicycle. On second class buses, the driver decides if you pay and on first class buses, the baggage handler will decide if there is an additional fee for a bicycle in the luggage compartment.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Vans - Colectivo taxis or Combis</b></span><br />
These fast moving multi-passenger vans park on the street or have terminals at numerous designated spots in downtown Mérida, near and around the main municipal market and also in the Parque San Juan located between Calle 62 and Calle 64 and Calle 69a in downtown Mérida. <br />
There are <i>colectivo</i> taxis to almost all villages in Yucatán. <br />
Most <i>colectivo</i> taxis take departure when they have sufficient passengers.<br />
The nice thing about these colectivo taxis is that you can flag them down anywhere, and they are numerous throughout Yucatán. So, returning to Mérida is quick and easy. We often times bus out to our biking area, and then we return by colectivo taxi, which will get you back to Mérida fast.<br />

The first one is from Mérida to Acanceh and Tecoh.<br />
The vans will stop anywhere, but full sized bicycles could be a problem unless you find a taxi with a roof-top rack, and in that case the sky is the limit. Expect to pay an extra fare for your bike if it is loaded top-side. Almost all of these taxis have room for a couple of folding bicycles inside behind the rear seats. They rarely charge extra for the folding bikes.<br />
The possibility of end destinations with these <i>colectivo</i> taxis is extensive.<br />
You haven’t seen the real Yucatán until you bike and bus it. <br />
After more than a quarter century of doing these excursions, we still have a long list of end-destinations to explore.<br />
What are you waiting for? Come on and have the adventure of a lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is curious that with the advent of the automobile and the airplane, the bicycle is still with us. Perhaps people like the world they can see from a bike, or the air they breathe when they're out on a bike… Or because they like the feeling of being able to hurtle through air one minute, and saunter through a park the next, without leaving behind clouds of choking exhaust, without leaving behind so much as a footstep. ~Gurdon S. Leete <br />

The Green Expo is an annual event in Tulum with an ever expanding collection of talented and dedicated contributors all helping to make this planet a better place to live.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Little Tulum, the jewel of the Riviera Maya has become more than just another Caribbean Sea coastal town, it is a one of a kind heaven for life loving people seeking a slice or paradise. <br />
Like my wife Jane says about Tulum, "Tulum is a hard place to leave."<br />

Muyil, located in a dense jungle setting, is an inland seaport connected to the Caribbean Sea by two man-made canals. Muyil is also known as Chunyaxché and still exists as a noteworthy testimonial to the engineering achievements of this remarkable Mayan civilization. <br />
Muyil is a wonderful place to take a nature hike, mingle with tropical nature and witness some unusual examples of the Mayan advanced infrastructure that still exist within this archeological zone.<br />
This is a big place so plan to do a lot of walking. To enjoy Muyil to its fullest, a half day of leisurely poking along will enhance your pleasurable experience immensely. <br />

After a short ride from the bus station in Tulum, the Mayab bus will let you off near the entrance. It is only a short walk to visit El Castillo, one of the tallest Mayan ruins on the east coast of the Caribbean.<br />

After a short ride from the bus station in Tulum, the Mayab bus will let you off near the entrance. It is only a short walk to visit El Castillo, one of the tallest Mayan ruins on the east coast of the Caribbean.<br />
In the late 1950’s when this area was a territorial part of Mexico with literally no infrastructure and only accessible by a five day jungle horseback ride past the end of the railroad line from Mérida or by coastal sailing vessel from the Caribbean island of Cozumel.<br />
Pablo Bush Romero led one of the first expeditions to this “Lost City of the Maya.” In his book, <i>Under the Waters of Mexico</i>, he wrote about his remarkable adventure:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
After about thirty minutes of navigating through the channel, we entered the impressive lake of Chunyaxché, a marvel of archaeologists specializing in Mayan civilization. Precisely at the mouth of the channel, on the left side, we discovered a temple of Xlabpak… <br />
Let us go to Chunyaxché. After crossing the lake, with its exquisitely blue water, we went through another canal. After several hours of navigating on the canal, we arrived at Lake Muyil, which was wide and not very deep. After landing on the dilapidated pier, we started our exploration by walking along a trail through the jungle, which ended in a clearing where there were two small huts inhabited by natives…” </blockquote>

<b> <i>El Castillo</i></b><br />
On your jungle walk you will see the seventeen meter or nearly sixty foot tall partially restored Mayan temple that has the significance of being an observation platform and signaling station. On the pinnacle of <i>El Castillo</i> is a platform that allows a view of the distant Caribbean Sea and all waterways linking it to Muyil. There is evidence that signal fires were built on its peak that may have been used to guide in the Mayan seafaring merchant vessels. Muyil began to populate by 300 B.C. This was centuries before such ancient Maya cities as Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Tulum.<br />
Explorer Pablo Bush Romero describes in his book <i>Under the Waters of Mexico</i> what he and his colleagues encountered at Muyil’s El Castillo, a pyramind with steep steps and an oratory on top:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Under one of these steps we found a tunnel which led to another temple situated in the heart of the pyramid. According to Segovia, this temple was dedicated to the high priests. Along the passage were a series of niches. We put our hands deep into each niche to see if there were any archeological relics. When we reached the most important one in the center of the tunnel, Alfonso Arnold, by chance or though some kind of intuition, thought to turn on his search light on first. He got such a scare that he recoiled almost as far as the front wall. Instead of archeological relics, what he saw there was a nest of deadly nauyaca or “sorda” or “four-nosed” snakes, the most poisonous in the Mexican paradise. <br />
It was a good thing that we frightened a few of these serpents because if anybody’s hand had been bitten, it would have been necessary to resort to a primitive surgery technique of the “chicleros”.* Since we carried no antidotes, this involved immediate amputation of the bitten limb with a machete without sterilization or anesthesia.”</blockquote>
Built with a purpose, El Castillo is but one of nearly a hundred structures erected on these premises. Muyil was on one of many Mayan trading routes. Though some distance from the sea, the Maya excavated straight canals, one of five kilometers in length and the other one kilometer cutting down into bedrock with nothing but hand tools to accomplish their enormous goal. This is a real seaport in the jungle. <br />
Seagoing sailing freight canoes of the Chontal Maya from Tabasco plied these waters ranging from distant Vera Cruz, Cuba, Florida and Central America. The cumbersome sea salt from northern Yucatan could have only been transported by seagoing vessel. Other cargo items included cotton, cocoa, copper, dyes, fish, honey, jade, and more. <br />
In this area the seagoing Maya with their trading canoes utilized natural inlets and beaches along this coast, such as Tulum ruins, Tankah, Akumal, Xaac, Paamul, Chakalal, Xel-Ha and Xcaret. All of these landing ports had Maya temple ruins. <br />

Leaving the area of El Castillo your next jaunt is through a canopy jungle on a boardwalk. This segment of your visit will take you a minimum of forty minutes. To get the very most pleasure out of the boardwalk, take your time to sniff the flowers and admire the exotic jungle trees. <br />
If you are tempted to venture off of the walkway, remember the venomous snakes. The pit viper <i>nauyaca</i> is found in this lowland habitat. Together with the rattlesnake it is the chief cause of snakebite in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.<br />
<br />
Midpoint on your boardwalk trip is an observation tower.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEjQvLS8Ct7GL6vDM7mCNgNTc3HFz8_6zzn9bbqe_OCsxyxOmYp7UbUVmsNAVupb5A8KSaqJrXbrITX1Ikg_-mMTmQU6EP9IiPZHm_t6R-mFc19M0enqJeROxk-Cc_9-woBwmSbEwqvEyq/s1600/Muyil+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEjQvLS8Ct7GL6vDM7mCNgNTc3HFz8_6zzn9bbqe_OCsxyxOmYp7UbUVmsNAVupb5A8KSaqJrXbrITX1Ikg_-mMTmQU6EP9IiPZHm_t6R-mFc19M0enqJeROxk-Cc_9-woBwmSbEwqvEyq/s320/Muyil+%25286%2529.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The observation tower offers a splendid view of the expansive surrounding jungle, lakes, lagoons, mangrove swamps and the distant Caribbean, but climb at your own risk. The steps are steep and are for the young and adventurous.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Muyil is under the jurisdiction of the federal agency INAH (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia), but is partially within the Sian Ka`an Biosphere Reserve. <br />

Emerging from the jungle boardwalk you will find yourself at a lovely beach on Muyil Lagoon where guided tours are available. Several different excursions are offered including traversing the ancient Mayan canal system. There is nothing like this anywhere. If nature is what you came to see, this is your place. Don’t miss your opportunity.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Strolling back from the lake you will find yourself on an ancient Mayan sacbe road that has remnants of pre-Columbian ornate stone carving. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Pablo Bush Romero exclaims in his book <i>Under the Waters of Mexico</i>: “What amazing road engineers the Maya’s were! I have traced from a helicopter one of those roads called “Sacbe” [white road] for over 100 kilometers. Undoubtedly, Tulum was the focal point of a coastal artery because every seven or eight kilometers there is a temple. The temples offered refuge to travelers, thus establishing centers of protection against cannibalistic Caribe Indians…”</blockquote>
<br />
The jungle diversity here is positively amazing. Your path around the Muyil Mayan ruins site gives you a look at the area’s range of topography.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZn-kj2LKJhziiVTIzNXGaUm1dzJcXke2B-HHMm8pUWmyQ3JqQ14d14lc5-ND5iJ-Om99VpEbpGxE9fmogLyoLEWTxXVWZKuyp2r3XmxRI_CTgQVzrEDcmkznANd1xk_d1DQ1q8ONFtpbF/s1600/Muyil+%25288%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZn-kj2LKJhziiVTIzNXGaUm1dzJcXke2B-HHMm8pUWmyQ3JqQ14d14lc5-ND5iJ-Om99VpEbpGxE9fmogLyoLEWTxXVWZKuyp2r3XmxRI_CTgQVzrEDcmkznANd1xk_d1DQ1q8ONFtpbF/s400/Muyil+%25288%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The jungle is literally full of temples in varying stages of restoration and degradation. Trees of considerable size have embedded themselves in the ancient structures. If unchecked, the trees with their invasive root systems will pull them all down. It has been over five hundred years that the jungle has had a free hand to do its destruction here and yet these structures stubbornly stand. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
For the return trip to Tulum, walk out to the main road, then to the bus stop a short distance south of the entrance to Muyil ruins and wave down a bus or van (<i>colectivo taxi</i>) for the short trip back to Tulum. This side trip is recommended to all those who truly want more than just another tourist trap.<br />

One of the all time best one-day Yucatán get-away excursions we have found.<br />
This is an easy and pleasurable trip if you take advantage of a tail-wind and cold front. We are down-wing sailors. (With a northerly wind start from Izamal. Contrarily with a southerly wind begin your trip from the other end at Kantunil.)<br />
To maximize the pleasure of this adventure we recommend taking the <a href="http://bicycleyucatan.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-bike-and-bus-from-merida-yucatan.html">Centro bus</a> that departs at 6:45 AM from their terminal on Calle 65 two blocks east of the main market, adjacent to and east of the Casa de Pueblo.<br />
There are faster ways to get to Izamal but this quiet back road route, though slow, is a pleasant look at Yucatán that most tourist miss. <br />
Our bus route took us east first to Tixkokob, famous for hammock makers, while the early morning shoppers were still packing the quaint colonial streets. <br />
Being a local bus we were steadily acquiring more and more passengers heading to the remote villages that lay ahead. As we passed our next town of Cacalchén the road narrowed perceptibly and each of the upcoming towns in turn grew smaller and smaller heading to Bokobá. Tekantó, Tixcochó, Teya, and Tepekán, were all typical quiet quaint Mayan villages where many of the homes were palapa thatched huts commingled with the remnants of colonial era haciendas. At rural Tepekán we made our final turn and headed into Izamal on a road as straight as a die and we knew that this roadway had to be a remnant of an ancient Maya sacbe road built countless centuries before. <br />

<br />
As tourist end destinations go Izamal is one of Yucatán’s finest and well worth a day or two of your time to explore and get to know. I have mentioned previously the book, <a href="http://www.colonial-mexico.com/Yucatan/izamal.html">Mayan Missions</a> by Richard and Rosalind Perry as an indispensable field guide. You will want the book because it answers a multitude of questions explaining history and gives intriguing facts regarding Mayan temples as well as the mysterious old Yucatecan churches.<br />

<b>Izamal</b> has a rich Mayan and conquistador history. Huge temple pyramids are still part of the town. A 16th century Franciscan monastery is situated atop one of them. The statue in the photo above of Bishop Diego de Landa faces the monastery he directed to be built. He is the man responsible for destroying the Mayan books. Take a carriage ride, it is memorable.<br />

Down the road from <b>Izamal</b> we arrive at the small village of <b>Cuauhtémoc </b>where the ruined church of <b>Pixilá </b>stands upon the mound of a ruined Mayan temple. <br />
As you can see little <b>Cuauhtémoc</b> is rural and on the verge of being desolate. Time has silently passed by here with little notice.<br />

This is the unhurried main street of <b>Cuauhtémoc</b> where we can hear a car coming from kilometers away. The contrast to Mérida’s push and shove commotion makes us want to whisper.<br />

Some attempts at restoration and upkeep are visible to this 18th century church which was a satellite of Izamal dedicated to the Virgin of Candelaria.<br />

Still roofless. the Pixilá church was originally built with a thatched roof.<br />
Amazingly the forlorn little old church is in use. Some attempt at restoration is evident in the side chapel and altar that are freshly plastered and painted. They have a long ways to go.<br />

As we visit the hushed little village it is hard to imagine a time when enough eager souls diligently put forth the effort to construct this church. <br />
A plaque above the front door is inscribed; Se acabo año 1797, “Work was finished in the year 1797”.<br />

The church of <b>Pixilá </b>is indeed forlorn. After more than two hundred years of deterioration someone is making attempts at restoration. This seems to be moving ahead at a pace similar to the rate that the mail is delivered in Mexico.<br />

Continuing south down the quiet road with a tail wind, we arrive at quiet and clean<b> Sudzal</b>. There is a beautifully pleasant overpowering aroma of orange blossoms filling the fresh country air and it makes us want to drink it in. It is a shame we couldn’t take a photo of the perfumed fragrance. Observe the thousands of white blossoms hanging over the wall that will soon become oranges.<br />

<b>Sudzal</b> is conspicuously devoid of visitors and traffic. The 16th century church has been renovated with a new roof and paint job.<br />

Other than some power poles, the vista around <b>Sudzal</b> has changed very little over the centuries. These gems of the past are becoming few and far between but here along this road are several towns still bypassed by the hurried tourist crowd. It makes for a perfect bicycle day trip. <br />

The <b>Sudzal </b>city building and church seem abandoned with little street traffic and just the few chickens and turkeys left to pluck unhurriedly their way along. Jane and I have found another slice of bike paradise. <br />

<b>Xanaba</b> though on the way to <b>Kantunil</b> is barely a wide place in the road. The rural countryside is little disrupted by its presence.<br />
This place seems to be made to order for cross-country bikers like us who positively love the quiet bucolic countryside. <br />

The only asphalt road in town surrounded the church and as you can clearly see the quaint country setting picks up where the pavement ends. The view down this city street perhaps hadn’t changed in centuries along with the pace of life. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As small and insignificant as <b>Xanaba</b> was this centerpiece of town on the main road put on a fresh and maintained appearance.<br />
A surprise awaited us when we ventured south headed into our day trip’s next stop of <b>Kantunil</b>.<br />
A real bicycle obstacle course awaited us. Evidently the transportation department had taken little notice to the fact that bikers may want to pass between these two towns. Just before entering <b>Kantunil</b> we encountered the new approach to the toll road, it was barricaded with a huge barrier accompanied by a no bicycles sign. We had to hoist our bikes over the obstacle, pass through the woods on a small walking path and then ascend a high drainage curb in order to traverse the next two lanes of highway. We persisted.<br />

<br />
Persistence prevailed and we arrived at the outskirts of <b>Kantunil</b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This little town had every appearance of being upscale. It is on the bus route to Mérida!</div>

<br />
<br />
Jane enjoys the shade of the meticulously kept city park along side the bust of Miguel Hidalgo, a Mexican priest and leader of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810. Notice that the parking problem in the city center is nearly non-existent because of the conspicuous lack of motor vehicles; bicycles prevail.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This lovely morning was made even better by connecting with the Mérida bound Oriente bus that arrived with perfect coordinated timing.<br />
We stowed our folding bicycles below, climbed aboard in air conditioned comfort and I didn’t awaken from my profound snooze until we were rolling into the Mérida bus terminal. <br />
After this outing we were able to scratch one more road trip off our list. As it nearly always happens when we remove one trip from the list we add two more. Well, with this trip we added four new ones as we passed numerous side roads that need exploring.<br />
Twenty five years of cycling around Yucatán and our bicycle adventure list continues to grow larger. <br />
If we could find a better place we would be there.<br />
So, stay tuned as we keep scratching bicycle adventure excursions off our ever expanding list.<br />

Three lovely days in Yucatán. <br />
We invite you to come along with us on our bike-bus tour where we will share this eco-friendly adventure through a captioned photo story.<br />
Beginning in Mérida after our five kilometer bike ride to the Tikal Restaurant for their breakfast special, we next boarded the 9:30 AM Lus bus at the <a href="http://bicycleyucatan.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-bike-and-bus-from-merida-yucatan.html">Noreste terminal </a>at calle 50 y 67 bound for Oxkutzcab. Our folding Dahon bicycles were stowed below and before we reached the outskirts of bustling Mérida the bus was full. <br />
This three hour Sunday morning bus trip is a perfect starter for your Yucatán back country sightseeing adventure.<br />
We traveled the back roads of Yucatán, entered the quaint colonial villages and got a first hand look at the colorful local population, many of whom would be our traveling companions.<br />

Bustling open air markets, festive circus carnivals, wooden scaffold bullfight rings, jubilant marching processions, street venders, people powered tricycles (<i>triciclos de carga</i>), and more all generated a cacophony of bizarre sounds commingled with a tantalizing olfactory enticement of regional cooking generating uncontrollable mouth watering temptations. <br />
This is the real Yucatán that tourists miss most!<br />
Our meandering back road bus route next took us to Tecoh, Telchaquillo, Tekit, Mama, Chumayel, Teabo, Tipikal, Maní, and on to Oxkutzcab. <br />
We are not strangers to these fascinating places and you can see them all in more detail on our web site. We invite you to take a look.<br />

Oxkutzcab is the hub of many interesting adventures that are far too numerous for one visit. Again visit our web site to glimpse these possibilities. They include the market/food court, restored colonial church, hill-top hermitage chapel, plus side trips to the Grutas Lol-tun. <br />
We recommend a taxi to go up to the Grutas Lol-tun and then bike back down the hill making sure that your bicycle brakes are in good working order.<br />

Something else we also find a lot of fun is to rent a tricycle taxi [tricitaxi], (people powered not the motorized kind), by the hour to sightsee the city. <br />
<br />
You will find this a fun thing to do everywhere you go in Yucatán.<br />
Yucatán is a strange and interesting place that makes for an outstanding photo opportunity. <br />
This story presents another side trip adventure possibility. <br />
<br />
Day two of our journey begins before 7 AM when we roll out of our convenient hotel Trujeque across from the city center park with our fully provisioned Dahon folding bicycles bound for the local taxi stand adjacent to the tortilla shop, “molino” , (west side of the main market).<br />
There was no set or posted prices for our destination of Labná so haggling would be required. This can be a lot of fun if done in a good natured way. Six taxi drivers joined in the negotiation and price quotes began to fly around - 100, 200, 150 pesos were mentioned and I suggested 50. Oh no! The banter goes on and someone suggests 120 pesos…we nod yes and were on our way.<br />

Jesús, our taxi driver, and Jane survey the packed and stacked cargo as we ready ourselves to depart Oxkutzcab. One of our folding bicycles would go inside and the other was lashed along with empty orange crates in the trunk. Jesús had come to town with those orange crates full earlier in the morning. <br />
Jesús had an interesting story to tell. He and his family had left the little fishing village of Champotón, Campeche thirty years earlier when the fishing industry collapsed from over fishing and petrol chemical pollution. Jesús has a heritage of large families and was one of eighteen with thirteen children of his own. His mother died at the age of 102.<br />
He must have had some pangs of conscience about the fare or actually got to like us because he pulled off onto a dirt road and picked us a bag of fresh oranges, which were a welcome supplement to our cross-country diet. By the way the angelic aroma of orange blossoms in the Puuc Hills this season makes you want to drink in the sweet air and linger.<br />

Here south in the Puuc Hill we were just far enough away from the semi arid northwestern Yucatán with its low spiny scrub and coastal ciénegas used since ancient times by the Maya for their sea-salt production. Here in these beautiful rambling hills of dry jungle form the transitional land between the northern semi-arid Yucatán and the steaming – teaming tall jungle of Central America. Notice the tall trees<br />

Here we were high up in the Puuc Hills at Labná where we would have our breakfast in the peaceful jungle tranquility before the gate opened at 8 AM. As you can see we travel light on our three day excursion. For this day’s travel we did however pack along eight liters of drinking water and 500 ml. of suero, a solution of essential bodily salts necessary for survival when heavily perspiring. All pharmacies stock this product and have it in flavored liquid form and also in envelopes of powder to mix with water.<br />
Jane is unfolding her bicycle, a process that only takes twelve seconds.<br />

Labná in the early morning is worth the effort. Here you can glimpse the ornate stone work of the ancient Maya and their style of arch building.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jane framed by the famous Mayan corbelled arch of Labná; You can see that the hand work involved in building these structures where each stone was manually shaped and sized to fit before the advent of machinery or even iron cutting tools was an effort of unimaginable proportions.<br />
These buildings had been plastered and ornately painted. <br />

These intricately carved stones were in a style unique to this area. We met a man some years ago that maintained that if you imbibed enough of the hallucinogenic morning glory seeds that you too could envision this type of sculpture. He added that if you only ate four seeds that you would feel good, but if you took forty you would begin building pyramids…we never tried.<br />

With a straight smooth road and a slight tail wind Jane and I were doing at times 38 kilometers per hour heading north to Kabah…biking at its best.<br />
We would recommend that if you are interested in visiting these lovely Mayan ruins that you spend the night in Santa Elena and bike to Kabah very early in the morning. This place is just too good to rush through. You can then leisurely enjoy what this place has to offer without the competition of hoards of tourists that disembark their tour bus with only thirty minutes to climb over everything and snap their photos.

Here is the smooth road that sizzles you along all the way from the Campeche cut off to Santa Elena. Jane got a few second head start on me and she is just a small distant speck in the above photo. I had to huff and puff to catch up.<br />

Our rest stop at<a href="http://www.sacbebungalows.com.mx/"> Sacbe Bungalows</a> in Santa Elena is the perfect place for quiet, tranquility and convenience. <a href="http://www.sacbebungalows.com.mx/">www.sacbebungalows.com.mx </a><br />
After a cool-me-down shower to take the day’s road stress out of our bodies Jane and I relax in the unhurried jungle atmosphere ambiance.<br />
Cycling options here are great. We recommend visiting nearby Uxmal by loading your bicycle aboard the bus that passes Santa Elena at 7:30 AM. That way you will arrive early, beat the crowd and have plenty of time to leisurely cycle back to Santa Elena for lunch.<br />
The Kabah trip eight kilometers south should also be started early to capture the jungle morning ambiance in the Puuc Hills at its finest time.<br />
Another cycling option from Santa Elena is north to Ticul and beyond. A note of caution; make sure your brakes are in top operating condition before you start down the Ticul hill. If you have any doubts we recommend that you walk your bike down.<br />
We invite you to visit our web site for more detailed stories of bicycling and exploring this one of a kind magical tropical paradise…Yucatán and beyond.<br />

That train has been out of service for more than twenty years now and few people even remember it. Read about that trip and many other railroad trips on our web site under the heading; <a href="http://www.bicycleyucatan.com/yucatanroads.html">Yucatán Roadways</a>.<br />
In those days Oxkutzcab was a frontier town with a vast jungle extending south across the Puuc Hills and off into Central America.<br />
One thing that has hardly changed in all those years is that it is still a frontier. We were pleasantly surprised on this return trip. Even though the area has suffered somewhat from a lack of income due to many of its citizens being expelled from the US where they had worked as undocumented workers, the city seemed to have gained a new invigorating attitude.<br />
The returning workers brought with them money, new found skills and a desire to make Oxkutzcab into their improved home. In what seemed to be a reversal of luck these returning workers have made a positive, miraculous and uplifting change for the better. First we look at the recently restored church.<br />

Oxkutzcab is still the market town for area produce. The market here bustles from predawn until late night every day of the week. <br />
So, come along with us and visit the new Oxkutzcab through captioned photos.<br />
After our bike trip through Chumayel, Teabo, Tipikal and Mani, we spent the next two nights and days in Oxkutzcab indulging ourselves in a fun filled fact finding tour, and rediscovering a town we thought we knew well.<br />

Colorful characters help make the Oxkutzcab market interesting and amusing. In the above photo Omar Antonio Barcalar, blue shirt and bushy black hair, who we met several years earlier when Jane and I took a once a day bus trip far up into the Puuc Hills and the end of the road to the little town of Yaxhachen. Omar, of Cuban origin, has amassed a considerable amount of notoriety from publicity he received since newspaper articles were written about his extensive natural Mayan medicinal cures.<br />

Jane and I have discovered that downtown Oxkutzcab has become like a huge food court from early morning till late night. Some of the most interesting things of all are the continuously changing options and diversity of culinary options that await you. <br />
Oxkutzcab’s market still features the local Mayan specialty foods but the newly arrived workers returning from years of expertly gained knowledge in the US make your eating experience more international.<br />

<b>Miguel Pacheco</b> spent more than twenty years of his life as a chef in the US and has brought back to Oxkutzcab the best of the best. His Italian style culinary delights have world class quality but Mexican prices. We fell in love with the place and the owner and dream of a return visit. Jane, pictured with the owner, operator and chef Miguel is in heaven savoring elegant meals especially if someone else has scrupulously prepared them. As she sincerely said; “I will be back”.<br />

Miguel made me happy. You can’t beat a creative chief who loves to satisfy, gratify and please his clients.<br />
<b>Café la Cocina</b> is located on the north side of the main market on Calle 49 and the tables situated at curb side for pleasant people watching. To top it all off, the place is also bicycle friendly.<br />
Morning, noon and night purveyors of Mayan specialty foods that change with the seasonal commodities arrive at the Oxkutzcab market and quickly sell out their inventory. Some of Yucatán’s finest delights are only available as such places. Until you have partaken of these local favorites you haven’t sampled the real Yucatán. <br />

Tamales are a staple food throughout Mexico and are prepared in numerous different styles. This one is called t<i>orteado (t</i>ortilla style and steam cooked within a banana leaf which it is served in). The tamales are then served and topped with as much salsa as you like.

This tamale is referred to as co<i>lado</i>. It has a lighter, fluffier and thicker covering of masa or corn meal.<br />
At the Oxkutzcab market most tamales are filled with chicken meat. Tamales <i>horneado</i>, are baked and can contain either pork or chicken. For whatever it is worth Mexico claims to have more than a thousand different variations of the tamale. <br />

Tamales served with a smile. You can have as much salsa as you like. Habanero hot sauce is optional and you apply as much as you dare.<br />

In Oxkutzcab like all cities of Yucatán tricycle or <i>triciclos de carga</i> are used for transporting anything that will fit in. This sign designates exclusive parking for these people powered freight haulers, here used as taxis.<br />

Just one block removed from the main market this typical narrow colonial style street is a good example of the centuries old buildings that still give Yucatán its old world charm.<br />

<b>Oxkutzcab</b> is proud of itself and this colorful display that adorns the central park plaza depicts an ancient cart. This type was used for transport over the centuries across Yucatán and is still being used in outlying districts. Heaped atop the cart are a representative of locally produced fruits and vegetables. The large red fluted clay vases are the exact same type used to transport water in years gone by. <br />
When Jane and I first visited in out-back rural communities of Yucatán before the arrival of piped to the home water this style vase was manually lugged to and from the village well for every drop of water.<br />
So, there you have a brief glimpse of some of Yucatán that tourists miss most. <br />
If you are interested in an adventure that takes you out of the main-stream and want to explore some of this peaceful, quiet and fascinating world, we invite you to try taking any one of the bicycle tours we have published on our web and blog pages…enjoy!<br />

You may travel the world over and never find a stranger or more interesting adventuresome get-away.<br />
After twenty-five years of exploring the back country of Yucatán we find new quests are still abounding.<br />
Here is the real Mexico that tourists miss most.<br />
This route was the key that unlocked the door to a rarely visited out of the tourist loop places and began our three day sojourn. <br />
We boarded a second class bus from Mérida bound for <b>Chumayel </b>with our folding bicycles stowed below. For two hours we sat back whisked along the seldom traveled back roads of Yucatán witnessing the quiet and quaint Mayan villages unaffected by the passing centuries.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Even at our leisurely pace we were packing a month’s worth of activities into just three days.<br />
So, we invite you to come along with us and share this infrequently visited magical paradise through captioned photos.<br />
Above is the municipal building of little <b>Chumayel </b>and the very small street market clearly out of the path of tourists.<br />
<br />
<b>Chumayel</b> is clean, quiet and quaint plus it is off the main road and seldom visited. The small village is situated in a typical Yucatecan countryside interspersed with centuries old haciendas and ancient Mayan ruins. <br />
Spanish influence here positively dates from before 1557. According to a map uncovered and copied by the famous explorer and author John L. Stephens on his 1842 visit to nearby Maní that designates the church site you see behind me as having already existed. <br />
This was one of a hand full of churches of Yucatán designated on that ancient Spanish conquistador map. Little has changed here over the centuries in <b>Chumayel</b> except for the coming of electricity and recently paved roads. It is a biker’s paradise as you can see by the conspicuous lack of traffic.<br />
Our little Dahon folding bicycles makes this type of road trip possible and a joyful experience. <br />

In Chumayel this street market was the busiest place in town.<br />

No chain or even convenience stores are here, but hourly bus service links north to Mérida and south to <b>Oxkutzcab</b>. <br />
As small as <b>Chumayel</b> is it can claim to have paved roads of access that make this an ideal place to begin our back country bicycle excursion. <br />
This is the town meat market. Though the meat is not refrigerated it is indeed fresh. As you can see when the meat hanging in the shop is depleted business is concluded for the day. In the morning this animal you observe tethered to the pole will be converted into inventory for the meat market. In many small towns across Yucatán this type of meat market is a common sight.<br />

Just four peaceful kilometers down the road we arrive at the outskirts of Teabo. The roads are so quiet you can hear a vehicle coming for many kilometers.<br />
<br />
Teabo is relatively metropolitan compared to its rural neighbors.<br />
After biking in the bustling neurotic traffic of Mérida these lovely country roads where chirping birds and the wind in your ears are the only sounds soothes your mind and the fresh flower scented air makes you want to drink it in. <br />
We feel extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful ecologically friendly and healthy environment so accessible to Mérida. These lovely bicycle places are but a short scenic bus ride away. With our folding bicycles one of the nicest things of all is at a moments notice we can change direction and be home from nearly anyplace in Yucatán in about two hours of less.<br />
The tropical climate is another positive consideration which we happen to love. We do however try to do our cycling before the mid-day heat.<br />
Another plus this time of year from November until March is that cold fronts will come through and hold the day-time high temperatures down in the low 20ºC or 70º’s F…ideal for cycling.<br />

Padre Victor arrived here at <b>Teabo</b> two years ago from the nearby village of Sotuta and earnestly undertook the renovation of this colossal church complex. The project became more than just renovation. Procuring the funds and assistance needed for restoration from the government that in Mexico officially owns all church buildings and their grounds has been Padre Victor’s toughest job.<br />
<b>Teabo</b> was originally an ancient Mayan settlement. A vestige of the Mayan temples are still very evident on the church grounds and nearby one of the colossal temples is still providing building materials for area construction five centuries after the Spanish conquistadors began their occupation.<br />

Within the <b>Teabo</b> church restoration has been superbly done. Wall painted frescoes, altar pieces and retablos are brought back to their century's old state of splendor. <br />
I will not try to give all the details here or explain the history because it is too involved for this story. <br />
However I do recommend for those of you interesting in learning more to read the splendid field guide and reference book Mayan Missions by Richard and Rosalind Perry. <br />

Wood for cooking fires or [leña] is transported in a tricycle or <i>triciclo de carga</i>. The forest is quickly being depleted because of rising cooking gas prices.<br />

The <i>triciclo de carga</i> is used not only for freight but also employed as taxis. They become mini restaurants and purveyors of anything that can be sold on the streets. <br />
Throughout Yucatán you will find many ingenious variations of these tricycles converted to amazingly diverse uses…we continue to be amazed at their creative ingenuity. <br />

Seven quiet kilometers down the road is our next place of adventure. <br />
Today this little settlement has nearly no business.<br />
These people are however self-sufficient producing enough from the small <i>milpa</i> farms to feed them selves but have nothing for export. <br />

Poor to the point of poverty,<b> Tipikal</b>, as you can see, has no extra cash for frivolities like restoration.<br />
Amazingly this church has stood here for nearly five centuries and considering that its condition is remarkably good. The entry gate is of a similar style to those found at the old haciendas across Yucatán.<br />

Thirty years ago when Jane and I first arrived in Yucatán over half of the homes were palapas like the ones you see here…even in Mérida. The palapa was standard home construction for the Maya because all of the materials were available from the land. To this day you will find depictions of these homes carved in stone at area Mayan ruins like Uxmal, thus dating their use back thousands of years.<br />
Five more kilometers down the road took us to the ancient and historical village of Maní. I will not write about Maní here because we have covered that subject extensively on numerous prior visits. See our web site for those stories.<br />
After a brief rest and hydration stop in the shade of the <b>Mani</b> church, we were on our way again. <br />
Eleven kilometers of which most were on a lovely bicycle path adorned by sculpted flowering bushes and we reached our day’s final destination of <b>Oxkutzcab</b>. Thirty-eight kilometers of quiet biking this day was enough for us and it felt good to shower and rinse out our sweaty clothes. Biking we must travel light because the privilege of excess baggage is not an option.<br />
<b>Oxkutcab</b> is covered in the next post. <br />

A twenty minute, seven kilometer bike ride from our home to the Noreste bus terminal in downtown Mérida is a joy with no traffic and a 21ºC salubrious temperature. <br />
At five AM the city streets were nearly deserted and quiet. Under a crystal clear high-pressure sky filled with stars we ventured out onto the famous Paseo de Montejo. As we headed south in the pre-dawn, cacophonous birds were chirping to a crescendo from their rookery trees that lined the median…a perfect start to a tropical January morning.<br />
We were able to sizzle along with no stops and did not see traffic until we passed the main market that was already bustling with busy early morning business.<br />
Our little 20 inch, seven speed Dahon folding bicycles make this type of trip possible and a real pleasure because the bikes roll fast and fold for stowage in just twelve seconds. They will then load into a bus, taxi or airplane. <br />
Our second class bus took us on a very sinuous scenic small village route, off the main road.<br />
At eight-thirty we were off-loading at Libre Unión which is little more than a wide place in the road some ninety kilometers east of Mérida. <br />
Several taxi drivers were there competing for our business. Jane and I had already planned to use whatever type of transport we could to make the next leg of our trip. <br />
This was going to be a long action packed day even with the boost of a taxi ride to Yaxcabá.<br />
We were lucky and got a flamboyant taxi driver who was bubbling over with local knowledge information and tourist guide details. <br />

We were on the quiet colonial streets of Yaxcabá before nine AM. As you can see we travel light. Having our ground transportation with us in these interesting out or the way places opens up exploration possibilities you would never get if you travel by automobile or are on foot. <br />

Jane and I not only received a convenient ride from Libre Unión to Yaxcabá but were informed and entertained all the way by our driver, Mario Briceño Dzul. The straight as a die highway we traveled was built by the Maya thousands of years before and known as a <i>sacbe </i>road. <i>Cerros</i> or over grown mounds lined our way and were unexplored Mayan temples. One of the reasons that this area was so popular with the ancient Maya was that it was a zone of <i>cenotes</i> or sink holes where water was available year-round.<br />
To top off his entertaining and amusing ride, Mario treated us to a lovely ballad as he strummed his guitar with fervent and sentimental passion.

We had our packed along energy breakfast and ate it in the park while quietly watching the city doings.<br />

This <i>campesino</i> or country man lugs in a load of <i>leña </i>[firewood] to cook his day’s meals. The high price of cooking gas has forced many here in Yucatán to go to the woods for cooking fuel. The result has been an aggressive amount of deforestation.<br />

Yaxcabá is a municipal governmental center and thus a crossroads. Because this area has been settled for countless centuries first by the Maya who built a tremendous infrastructure of straight roads between their temple towns, it was only natural that when the Spanish arrived they continued the use of these road right-of ways.<br />

I will not attempt to explain all of the interesting area history or describe the countless splendors of the church you see here because it is done so well in the book, <i>Mayan Missions</i> by Richard and Rosalind Perry.

There are six of these exquisitely restored original side <i>retablos</i> in the church and you will definitely want to take the time to witness these historical works of art that have survived trial and tribulation plus a protracted war that Yaxcabá was the center of.<br />
Note the original wall <i>frescos</i> to the right of the <i>retablo</i> that have survived nearly three centuries.<br />

On the church grounds the vestiges of days gone by are contrasted with some of the unrestored structures visibly and outwardly displaying the cut stone of the Mayan temples that their materials were salvaged from. <br />

Part of the church complex restoration project is this patio which tells much of the story of centuries old splendor. The <i>mamposteria </i>construction with wooden roof beams, the wooden hammock hangers embedded in the cement wall just as they were originally placed, the flat floor stones formerly were facings of a Mayan temple and the Moorish arches copied from the Spanish colonial period are all in a perfect state of restoration.<br />

Our next leg of the bicycle trip took us on this quiet rural road through <i>milpa</i> [cornfields] country. This is a bird watchers paradise and bikers dream come true.<br />

Little Tabi is quiet and quaint in the extreme. Our map did not ever show a paved road though now it is. Tabi is half way between Yaxcabá and Sotuta, both seldom visited places with no hotel accommodations and scarcely any eating establishments. <br />

Tabi has two <i>cenotes</i> and behind this weathered little stone chapel in the city center is one of those <i>cenotes</i>. This <i>cenote</i> has a fanciful legend surrounding it. In the early 1600’s supposedly a statue of the Virgin rose up from it and the rest of that incredible story can be found in the book Mayan Missions.<br />

Our Mérida neighbors have family connections here in Tabi. In this photo is our neighbor’s mother, Doña Chula, with her grand children and their friends. These are friendly, trusting good natured people who do not lock their homes and trust their children to roam the streets unescorted…something not done in the big city.<br />

While we rested in the shade of the church and re-hydrated we were entertained by the local children who inquisitively had to know all about our little bicycles and how we happened to come to Tabi. Shortly this group swelled to many curious kids. Click <a href="http://www.bicycleyucatan.com/tabi_kids">here</a> to see more photos of the Tabi Kids.<br />

From Tabi we biked on this very peaceful country road with gentle rolling hills and a significant lack of traffic. Behind Jane is one of the many little Mayan chapels of three crosses from one of the religious cults that formed during the protracted Caste War as a rebellion against the Spanish conquistadors and the Catholic Church. <br />

On the back streets as we entered Sotuta this little chapel, a relic of the past, caught our eye. This part of the country abounds in such strange unnamed and forlornly neglected curiosities that make for photo-ops. <br />

Nachi Cocom and Sotuta are synonymous. The Cocom family of Sotuta was one part of the warring Mayan faction that fought against the Xiu family of nearby Mani for centuries after the collapse of their northern empire following a two hundred fifty year draught.<br />
The Spanish conquistadors after being totally driven out of the Yucatán peninsula in 1535 returned around 1540 with a new game plan and that was to exploit the deep division between the two warring Mayan tribes. This was enough of a tactic to allow the Spanish to get a foot-hold and by 1542 they put down roots in T’ho now known as Mérida. For the rest of that fascinating story read the book <i>Mayan Missions</i>.<br />

In the center of Sotuta this fortress looking building is known as; “The Palace of Nachi Cocom”. In actuality this building built upon a Mayan temple dates from the 18th century and was a military barracks. <br />
As you can see this is a quiet place. <br />

At the only eating establishment in Sotuta Jane and I are lovingly greeted by this old Mayan woman who craves companionship. <br />
Across from the municipal building is located Los Arcos where we have had lunch each time we revisit the area while waiting for the return bus to Mérida and visit with the owner Doña Margarita. <br />
We returned to Mérida just as the sun slipped beneath the western horizon on this lovely action packed day. <br />
