day trip from mérida: uxmal, cenotes, lunch, and much more..!
Lawson's Original Yucatan Excursions的点评
点评:We took a last minute day-trip with Ralf and had an amazing time - the bulk of our day was uxmal (with another amazing guide, Gladys — she is local to the area, so knowledgeable, and provided deep historical and cultural context), followed by a tastefully sized + but absolutely stunning cenote cooperatively run by the surrounding village. Our favorite part of the tour, however, were the many small but impactful stops along the way; a few cemeteries, a local market in Uman, a tortilla factory and former hacienda… Ralf clearly had a deep familiarity with the area, and a real connection with the people he introduced us to. We filled up on many delightful seasonal fruits (chinas, mangoes, grapefruit with chamoy, fresh juices), and roadside treats like tamarindo and sweet fried cookies). We felt so pleased with our day and enriched by the tour - so lucky that we had a chance to experience the breadth of regional culture that ralf showed us! Ralf also gave us several fruitful recommendations for the rest of our trip in Yucatán, and was generally fun to talk to and easy to be around (he got our sense of humor from the beginning). We would happily spend another day, or several, with Lawson’s!
翻译:我们临时决定参加拉尔夫组织的短途一日游,玩得非常开心。当天的大部分时间都花在了乌斯马尔(由另一位很棒的导游格拉迪斯带领——她是当地人,知识渊博,为我们讲解了丰富的历史文化背景),之后我们去了一个规模适中、景色绝美的天然井,这个天然井是由附近村庄合作经营的。不过,我们最喜欢的还是沿途那些虽小却意义非凡的停留点:几处墓地、乌曼的当地市场、一家玉米饼工厂和一座旧庄园……拉尔夫显然对这片地区非常熟悉,而且和介绍给我们的当地人也建立了真挚的联系。我们品尝了许多美味的时令水果(金桔、芒果、配着酸角酱的西柚、鲜榨果汁),以及路边小吃,比如罗望子和甜炸饼干。我们对这一天的行程非常满意,也从这次旅行中受益匪浅——我们很幸运有机会体验到拉尔夫向我们展示的丰富多彩的当地文化!拉尔夫还为我们接下来的尤卡坦之旅提供了许多有益的建议,而且他为人风趣幽默,很容易相处(他从一开始就很懂我们的幽默感)。我们非常乐意再去劳森餐厅待上一天,甚至几天!
