Mexico -dos and don't

Here's the link to the Mexico City thread (that I had missed before, doh!) with good, detailed Aldo comments on it:

Mexico City

re music in Mexico City...I am not seeing any upcoming gigs there right now by my faves Julieta Venegas or Cafe Tacuba.

Here's a link for the corny but good Folkloric Ballet company that includes mariachi musicians and dancers and more whom wife and I did see at the Palacio de Belle Artes (they perform here regularly)

I read about these Mexico City clubs but uh, never made it to any of them:

La Maraka salsa merengue dance club

Mama Rumba

Mojito Room

Multiforo Alicia - indie

Pasaguero - indie

do: have a blast :)

Near the Mexico City Airport I noticed the Discos Colombia record store but I didn’t have time to go there. It’s on this list from a little while back

thanks curmudgeon! very helpful. i plan to have 1 or ideally >1 blast :)

going to Tulum (and parts nearby) next wednesday for a week! very excited!

We enjoyed our recent time in Tulum. The beach time was nice despite the seaweed issue there ( lots floating to shore). The Mayan ruins are a must to see and going to cenotes is also fun. We enjoyed a tour of the Sian Kaan Biosphere area where via boat we saw manatees and crocodiles and birds. There we also got to float down a tributary propelled by the current. Dinner at Cetli Restaurant was impressive—fancy Mexican in a casual but nicely designed restaurant ( out on a highway and not with the trendy places on the coastal road.

The Mayan ruins at Coba aren't that far from Tulum. worth seeing as well. Chichen Itza is 2 1/2 hours from Tulum (we didn't end up going there but i want to someday)

Tulum food rec: Pollo Bronco, on the main strip in town. So good.

Can you still climb Coba? You could when I was there but then 10 years is a long time ago.
