Hi everyone,
i just moved to Tamarindo to do an internship here for the next 5 months.
Since I'm new in town I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what do to around here and what I absolutely have to see before I go back to Germany again.

Travelling Mexico and Central America with a Dog - PLS HELP! (08/27/2010)
|
You can bring a dog on most Mexican bus lines, I believe. For example, Estrella Blanca says:
"8. Puedo viajar con mi mascota?
R= S, pero deber de ir en la cajuela del autobs, en jaula adecuada para viajar, sedado en recorridos largos,
bajo responsabilidad del pasajero."
So you will have to have the dog travel in the luggage compartment in a kennel, but at least you wouldn't have to hide him...
And I've seen all kinds of animals on 2nd class Central American buses. You won't have a ...

Mexico in two weeks... what to see? (08/01/2010)
|
One of the reasons I moved to Mexico was for the food! But you really cannot generalize about it, as the regional variations are endless. I recommend Nancy Zavlasky's book "A Cook's Tour of Mexico" as an excellent introduction to some of the different styles of cooking. Her book has kept me from missing out on some real treats more than once..

Best time to visit Mexico? (08/01/2010)
|
The thing to remember about Mexico is that it's a mountainous country with a lot of coastline. Summers can be very hot in parts -- the Yucatn, for instance -- and downright cool in the mornings and evenings in other parts at a higher altitude.
The spring where I live (outside city of Oaxaca) can be brutally hot, dry, and dusty, whereas the summer, after the rains begin, is lush and pleasant.
My suggestion is to go to real weather sites to research the climate of where you want to visit, ...

comparison of playa del carmen, cozumel, tulum, and towns (07/21/2010)
|
By Playa do you mean the town or the area. I have stayed south of there which I believe is the Mayan Riviera, very nic e reorts on good beahes off the main higheway which runs between Playa and Tulum. As a resort area these hotels are great. I would not likely stay in the town of Playa, but visit it to shop etc. The Mayan Riviera is typically quieter than Cancun.
There are small vans that run on the highway you can get to take you to Playa and Tulum, MUCH cheaper than cabs. Just go to the ...

Last year the had 14 different bands that performed live, folkloric dancing, dogs shows, clown shows for ...

Choosing a quiet unspoiled place in Mexico (04/30/2010)
|
I second the veto (can you do that?) about Cozumel with two qualifications.
First, if you're a diver (and I'm not so I am, as it were, out of my depth here), Cozumel is reputed to have some of the best dive sites in the world.
Second, and this was a surprise for us, is the ocean side. We took a rental car and did the circuit of the island and were almost literally blown away! The rocky coastline, the stiff ocean wind and the dramatic vista of the incoming sea make this a wonderful escape ...

Favorite Mayan ruins? (04/30/2010)
|
Palenque truly is amazing. And you're right, the jungle setting makes it even more magical. Furthermore, the history of the site, both in ancient times and the whole fascinating story of its rediscovery and restoration, is absolutely fascinating, and includes virtually all the superstars of Maya studies.
The one downside, and for me it's a big one, is that it can get very, very crowded. In this respect, it's rather like Chichen. Choose your day carefully, and avoid the place like the plague ...
