Then we decided to go through small villages. Our goal was Cenote, in the area where we went were more of them. From one guy we get recommendation for Cenote Sambulá. We had the cenote just for ourself which was great, the disadvantage was that it was really in the middle of nowhere. When we got to Muna, it was already quite late and getting all the way to Campeche, which was our first plan was impossible. One guy started to talk to us on the street and we used this opportunity to ask him, if we could stay at his house and luckily he agreed.Baca selengkapnya
