ABOUT US

Fausto de Dalmases Sandra Salvadó

We are Faust of Dalmases and Sandra Salvadó, some hobbits that we went out in the 2003 of our Region with the curiosity of showing ourselves to new experiences and cultures.

We have been sharing more than half of our lives, we met at school when we were 15 years old and we have always been great friends. Our first great trip together was by train through Scotland and England, stopping in Amsterdam and Paris; I remember turning 21 that summer because of a photo where I go out showing my age with my fingers. It was the year 1993 and we returned unbearable from the good time we had.

Over the years we realized that more than friends we wanted to be life partners, so we tried to be a couple and to this day we are still testing. There are things that have not changed since then, and I am not referring to the physical of course.

Jodhpur, India 2004

Over time we did not lose the passion and curiosity about the trip, We have always agreed on this aspect. 10 years after the interrail that marked us so much, and from other trips together and separately, we left our beautiful Barcelona at the end of the 2003. We went to travel through the great playground for a year and three months: A one-way ticket to Nepal led us to tour part of Asia with the camera and backpacks, which came back loaded with experiences that extended us.

We continue to accumulate experiences for the backpack of living and carrying the camera on the shoulder, such are the passions.

We arrived in Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula in the 2007

What brings us to Mexico and what do we do here?

It was during the trip through Asia that we decided to continue walking around the world, so we look for possibilities to work in a foreign country, which took us in 2005 to the Dominican Republic, and in 2007 to Mexico. This meant starting to work in the tourism sector from the 2005, where we do not find a true passion for travel in the sector, but we do have the necessary experience to create our own travel company.

We are dedicated to organizing tailor-made trips in Southeast Mexico, Mayan Mexico

Since the year 2017 we made it more difficult and decided to take a leap and start on our own, so here we are involved in this wonderful adventure of working on our illusions. We usually say that this work is the reflection of our traveling soul united to the knowledge and love for this land and its people.

          Hello Luis, the first time we crossed into Belize we went with the permission of the owner of the car, in our case it was in Spanish and we had no problem. Notice that I had not even thought of that detail. On the border, the majority speak Spanish and English.

          Hi Marian, sorry for the delay I'm traveling.
          Spaniards without a work permit can be 6 months of tourism in the area. In those months is to look for life, but it is difficult to hire foreigners without residence permits. And the residence without work is not achieved, the fish that bites its tail. Years ago it was easier, right now it is not easy. The jobs tend to be precarious as well. Without wanting to discourage, I pose the current reality. I leave the link to a website where you surely find more information than I can give you. https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/vivir-en-mexico-extranjero/
          I wish you the best of luck,

    Hello Sandra and bona tarda.
    I am trying to organize a trip to Yucatan with my wife. We have already traveled a good part of Mexico and now we want to know La Península exclusively. We are thinking about dedicating 12 / 13 days including 3 in a resort, visiting the main locations and places. Even though we already have some information, we will complement it with the one I am seeing in your blog and I think it will be very useful for me.
    Certainly the country is very attractive for any traveler somewhat restless but at the same time want to find some calm and appreciate the Slow tourism.
    I'm glad you found paradise and enjoy your passions.

    hello sandra and been reading your blog and it is impressive all the information you give us I have a question now in August I have a trip to Belize I want to do some shopping and visit some friends I think about being a month in Belize. In that time I can enter Mexico to visit other friends who live near the free zone, what I have to do, what documents I have to present at the embassy of Belize or at the border they give me some document that endorses me and how much in your opinion I have to pay if they accept me I must be in Mexico for 2 days more or less thank you very much and congratulations for such an interesting and useful blog

    Reply
    • Sandra Salvadó

      Hello Rene, if you are in Belize on vacation and want to go to Mexico, if you do not exceed 24 hours, you can go in and out, like a day of free pass, with your passport you have enough, it is usual among the population to cross by a few hours to the other country. If it is for more days, you must make the necessary procedures and payments each time you leave and enter. At the customs they advise you themselves, they were always very kind in my case. I leave the border link to help you: https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/frontera-mexico-belice/

I plan to go to Guatemala to the areas that you describe and following that route I would like to get to Honduras, because it is part of the Mayan culture, but I can not find a blog that will guide me. Can you recommend me one? thank you keep it going well.

    Hello Sandra,

    I thank you very much for the information you provide in your very informative blog. You have given me good tips for Tulum since my trip is in 8 days! My question is if the rainy season is very strong at this time and that you advise me to see if the day is very rainy. You also want to know what tour you would recommend me or do you think it would be better to explore the archaeological sites yourself.

    Thank you,
    Gaby J

    Reply
    • Sandra Salvadó

      Hello Gaby J, I'm sure you enjoy the area a lot, thanks for the comment. In this rainy season the rains are usually late night, so I do not think you should change the plans. It is likely that dawn covered and after a while the sun rises, so do not despair if it goes cloudy, it changes constantly. If it rains, you can visit closed cenotes, more or less close, like the Multum Ha or Cho'oj Ja '. At least to an archaeological zone I find it interesting to go with a guide, which you can hire at the entrance. Offer of tours you will find insurance that adapts to your needs, there is variety.

      Very good,
      I do not know how you propose the holidays, but maybe I would do 4 or 5 days of circuit by car by Peninsula Yucatan, and 2 or 3 somewhere on the coast: if you want to go out, you can rest on the beach. Personally I think it's a more interesting trip, but I do not know if you take the all-inclusive option. In this case better a hotel in the area of ​​Playa del Carmen, because it is more intermediate. I leave this entry that maybe helps you choose the place of coast: https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/que-poblacion-costera-elegir-en-el-caribe-mexicano/

    Sandra:
    Just say that I have fallen in love with your blog.
    I am a traveler and I love the archaeological ruins and especially the cenotes, especially those that still retain their natural, unspoilt charm.
    As you say, enjoying them alone is a gift from the gods.
    I always travel by public transport and I almost cry when I see you have included how to get to the places without your own car.
    I know about some 80 cenotes and I always suffer to investigate how to get there, so I appreciate the detail.
    There are some that you mention and I do not know so my next trip to Mérida already has a date, to go to my favorites and to know three that I have seen in your blog.
    I also appreciate the way you talk about my country. There is nothing lower than complaining about the country or place in the now reside. On vacation, temporarily or permanently, that place is giving you opportunities and experiences and considered rude to speak ill of the place, especially because there is no perfect place.
    I have also lived in Spain and Ireland and I never complain or mention unpleasant things because I know that good things are more and better.
    Poverty, lack of signaling, ignorance of people from their own environment, garbage, etc. Thank you very much for being aware of it and pointing it out objectively and directly, without criticizing or devaluing.
    Also thanks for the blog. I have known many countries and places thanks to people like you who take the time and dedication to explain what to see and how to get especially for the independent traveler who does not travel on tours.
    In short, a greeting from Mexico City.

I laughed when I read you because I've also been always moving around in local transport, except now that I got used to the car, but it was clear that I would worry about including the independent traveler information. From December to February I will visit Yucatan to finish discovering cenotes, I hope to surprise you with some new ones for the next one, or you to me.

      Hi Pepi, delighted to be able to help you with the experience.
      No et posa pegas com bé dius, podreu passar. Com ara is a time of pluges és quan the road is pitjor: es de sorra i és is full of sots. Així that a poc a poc i bona lletra, but if you can agree with a normal cotxe, do not call an 4 × 4.
      Des de Muyil also have lanxes to visit the Reserve, et deixo the note per si us interes: https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/como-visitar-reserva-biosfera-sian-kaan/
      Qualsevol thing that calgui m'escrius i amb gust us ajudo.
      What happens when you get ben xules per per 🙂
      Salut i bon camí,

    Congratulations on the blog, very useful! We would like to see jaguars and toucans but we do not like animals in captivity ... is there an animal recovery center in Rivera Maya where we can get to know the fauna of the area in a respectful way ?.

    Dear Sandra. I found your article about Sian Ka'an very interesting. I just give you a precision. Friends of Sian Ka'an is a non-profit organization. We work for environmental conservation and sustainable development throughout Quintana Roo; not only in Sian Ka'an. We do not offer lodging or tourism services. These are offered by local communities and owners of houses and land. I would appreciate very much correcting that information to avoid confusion among your readers.

    On the other hand, the very low construction density allowed on the coast of Sian Ka'an is legal, in accordance with the international principles of the Biosphere reserves, and protecting the rights of landowners and the health of ecosystems. These densities are allowed on a surface that covers only 2% of the 650,000 hectares of the reserve. I thank you for your attention and I send you greetings.

      Dear Gonzalo, an apology for answering late, I wanted to do it calmly. Thank you very much for your correction, rereading the writing I realized the incorrect information and the poorly expressed, I got the colors. So I ask you for an apology. I correct it today.
      On the construction, knowing that the data that you give me without doubt are good (and evidently it is also corrected), I am aware of the legal traps What is done is the protected areas, in a regrettable way. We are going to be in the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, and we see how the legality in construction issues is ignored. We are greedy and predatory, and those things happen.
      Again I thank you very much for your correction, and my apology. A pleasure to interact with you Gonzalo, thank you for your time. I send you a hug.

    Hello Sandra, Soc Ricard Pons, from Barcelona, ​​I wrote to you yesterday on the Blog and I also filled out a form. I do not know if they speak Catalan, but I imagine I sure that l'entens, but to make it easier for others to read I continue in Spanish.
    We are 2 couples a bit madritas who will make a trip in January, as I told you from 10 to 30, Barcelona-Cancun round trip. We know something about Yucatan (we have already been twice, so the most typical places (Chichen-Itza, Tulum, Scaret, Xaa-là, alun cenote, Isla Mujeres, etc.) already know them. We already have accommodation (all included for rest) in Cancun the last 4 days and 2 previous days in Valladolid. We have the night from 10 to 23 approximately to get to know Chiapas and something in Yucatan that you think is essential. We would like you to help us plan that trip (we thought we would include something from Guate, but it seems that they are a bit slow in vaccinating Covid19). I usually do it on my own, but depending on which countries I have sought the help of someone local, I did so in Costa Rica, Peru and New Zealand that I found an Argentine couple who did the same as you and it was great. I await your news

    I look for tips for the roads in Chiapas and a photo appears... I thought:

    Hello, I discovered this page a while ago and now that I have had to improvise a trip to Riviera Maya (which I already know from other occasions) I was seeing information about different cenotes. I always travel with crutches and despite this I was able to see the Gran Cenote, Palomitas, Agua Azul, Cenote Maya, Xcanahaltún and the Santa Bárbara cenotes on other occasions.

    Now the cenotes Azul, Cristalino, Edén, Fantasma, Choj-Há, Secreto Maya, Oxman or Taak Bi Ha have caught my attention. How are these cenotes in terms of ease of going down, hundreds of stairs or distance from the parking lot? ? It doesn't catch me now in my best physical condition.

      Hello Miguel Ángel, nice to greet you.
      I see that better than anyone you know the difficulties of accessing the cenotes, but none of the ones you mention are more complicated than Xcanahaltun, for example. Azul, Cristalino and Eden are easier to access. Taak Bi Ha I recommend you go very early, the access would be Gran Cenote type. Secreto Maya, Fantasma and Oxman have more stairs. And Choj Já, the one on the way to Valladolid, not the one in Cobá, is a beautiful cave cenote, but the staircase is not so steep or complicated. The furthest from the parking lot are Secreto Maya, Fantasma and Oxman, it will be about 100 meters or so away.
      Enjoy the Miguel Ángel cenotes very much, if I know anything I will be happy to inform you.
