My Toes In The Sand In Mexico
"The fish are biting" is not in fact a slang phrase in Spanish (locals are apt to grasp you quite plainly if you say it and tell you to stay out of the water), but the reality remains that the ancient native soil of the Mayan civilization on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is one of the leading deep-sea fishing regions in North America.
There are actually numerous kinds of saltwater fishing that is accessible from one of the many beach rentals or other retreat rental facilities on the eastern shores of the Yucatan, and offshore deep-sea fishing is just one of them. Nearby are scores of charters that sail into the Caribbean from the coast's three key cities (Playa del Carmen, Cancun and the nearby island town of Cozumel). These azure waters are full for marlin, tuna, dolphin (the fish, not the mammal) and wahu. Credit to the temperate temps, many of these fish swim within a few miles of the beach, meaning you will not have to waste nearly all of the daylight hours just to get to the best fishing.
You won't have to go off to sea to have a great angling experience, however. The Mayan Riviera is well-known for its exceptional inshore flats and fly fishing as well. Indigenous fishing guides will be happy to take you to any of the native reefs in search of a distinct fish; the Yucatan in reality is home to the second-largest organism of reefs in the world (after Australia's Great Barrier Reef). These reefs are prime hunting grounds for snapper, barracuda, grouper and mackerel. And don't discount fly fishing; there are many underground rivers flowing out of Yucatan's flourishing jungles into mangrove swamps and salt marshes that are habitat to snapper and – for the especially adventurous - small shark. A vacation rental near Ascension Bay presents some of the finest saltwater fly fishing in the world; try going to the web site Pesca Maya for more information concerning close lodgings and what kind of fish are copious at different times of the year.
When you and the relatives would like to reel in a break from fishing you have other options. Followers of Indiana Jones might enjoy touring the close by ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza, home to a advanced, literate Native American society ca. 600-1100 AD. Found in the northern part of Yucatan, Chichen Itza includes several of the best-preserved illustrations of Mayan buildings in the zone, counting the mystifying Temple of Kukulkan, the Mayan serpent deity.
Of course, there are additional recreational possibilities that you would think to stumble on at a Caribbean seaside resort; the flat, sandy seashores are fantastic for family and there is some exceptional snorkeling in nearby Cozumel. Afterwards, try out indigenous foods and music at one of the area's numerous first-rate dining places. As far as shopping goes, jewelry as well as arts and crafts stores are plentiful, featuring works by resident artisans. These people are not scared to negotiate over value, so be primed to do some enthusiastic bargaining with these merchants in order to get the best prices on souvenirs.
