Hey there, I am sharing my i
Day 1:
Reach Cancun
Rent a Car in Cancun- I would recommend renting a car which is fully insured rather than having a taxi because that would be more economical.
Spend a day in Cancun
Day 2:

Merida
Drive from Cancun to Merida- 3-4 hours
Tip: Start early morning from Cancun, this way you can spend some time in Izamal and still reach Merida by 3pm to roam around the town of Merida.
Izamal (the yellow town is great to have a stop) since it is on the way from Cancun to Merida.
Izamal:
Things to see:
Convento de San Antonio de Padua
Lunch (if you want to have lunch in Izamal)
Merida:
Note- Merida is in Central time zone
Reach by 3pm
Food:
- Lunch: La Chaya Maya (authentic Yucatan food)
- Dinner: Bella Chella – a great Pizza place
- Ice cream must
have: Dulceria Y Sorbeteria.
Must go for Drinks:
- Hermana Republica – I recommend going there at night. You can see a complete review of this place under my instagram IGTV highlights.
Places to see:
Hotel In Merida:
There are lot of great hotels but we stayed here, which was simply beautiful:
Day 3, 4:
Holbox is in Eastern Time Zone
Drive to Holbox and take a ferry.
Holbox has no cars on the island, so you will need to park your car at Chiquila (3.5 hours) from Merida. You will find a lot of overnight parking places right outside the ferry station (100 pesos per night).
Ferry from Chiquila to Isla Holbox (Every half an hour)
Hotel:
Lunch:
There are many other great lunch and drinks places listed on my blog so do check it out there for more options.
Must see:
Beach hammocks near Zomay hotel and Villas Tiburon (Hammocks)
Sunset at Zomay hotel
Punta Mosquito (flamingos)- Flamingos are only visible during certain time of the year.
Other beach clubs:
Coquitos Beach Club and Restaurant
Barquito Mawimbi Beach Bar & Restaurant
If you need an ATM in Holbox which gives you Pesos- Bancomar, it is located near the police station.
Day 5:
Drive back to Cancun and Fly back.
