There is lots to see outside of Merida. Campeche is a great walled city not to be missed. Outside of Merida is progreso and from there one can ride thru the beach towns on the way to El Cuyo which is like Holbox was 20 years ago. From el cuyo or Holbox go to Valladolid which is a charming colonial town and much more manageable than Merida. There is lots to see outside of Valladolid. From there drive thru Tulum (which I am not a fan of) thru the sian kaan biosphere to Punta Allen. I have seen panther twice on that road so keep your eyes open. From Punta allen there is a dock where you can contract a launch to take you across Bahia espíritu to vigia Chica. From there a jungle road takes you to puerto Morelos then on south to Bacalar. Bacalar is 15 miles from chetumal/Belize.

If you will be in Morelia you may want to spend some time on the roads around Tacámbaro, " la puerta de tierra de caliente." It was once the capitol of Michoacan. When in the area ping me if you need anything. I will be on the road in January but plan to return home to southern Jalisco early February.
A town nearby Tacámbaro, Ario de Rosales, is a little hot at this time so you may want to avoid that area and roads to the south of Tacámbaro.
Que le vaya bien paisano!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
