Creator's Key Takeaways

We did Cabo last week. Um so we are on a Mexico kick to try to get through this country and all of Charlie's tours.

This is a 7-day active tour but if somebody has eight days or nine days they may say hey you know what give me just one free day and play out delarin to do nothing and give me one free day in Cancun.

The engineering behind it and the calculations behind it is very sophisticated.

It can all be given to you. Um so on this catamaran ride uh we take you to the center of um Islamis as well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't wing it; have a planned itinerary to see everything.
Use tours to avoid dealing with police and rental car issues in Mexico.
Stay in centrally located hotels in Playa del Carmen and Cancun.
Watch your drinks and use the buddy system for safety.
Avoid talking to people trying to sell you things at the airport.
