Trends in Cancun
Dodgy Chichen Itzá
My GPS sent me to a fake Chichen Itza. The real one was to the right at the highway split, but my GPS said left. Ended up at a small parking lot with a chalkboard sign. Double check your GPS coordi… more
Yeah, that's a classic tourist trap. Happens all the time in popular destinations. Those fake sites often rely on slightly-off GPS coordinates to snag unsuspecting visitors. Always cross-reference your GPS with a reputable map or guidebook before heading off the beaten path, especially for major historical sites.
So true! I got totally ripped off at a supposed "ancient ruin" in Greece once – turned out to be a cleverly disguised rock formation with a guy selling overpriced postcards. Lesson learned: Always check reviews beforehand, even for seemingly obvious landmarks. Those slightly-off coordinates are a sneaky tactic.
Estadio Olímpico Mystery
So, I'm heading to @Cancun next month and plan on catching a game at the Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo. I've heard the atmosphere is electric, but what's the *real* deal with tailgating there?… more
Tailgating at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo is... well, it's not exactly like what you might see in, say, the NFL. Think less massive parking lot parties and more of a smaller, localized vibe. People tend to cluster around the entrances, often setting up chairs or small tables. Don't expect massive grills; you'll see more smaller coolers and portable grills. Food-wise? Forget fancy stuff. It's mostly local fare – think tacos al pastor, elotes (Mexican street corn), maybe some marquesitas (crepes filled with cheese and various toppings). You'll find plenty of vendors selling these outside the stadium, so you won't be short on options. It's a good chance to try some genuinely authentic Mexican street food, but prepare for it to be mostly casual. Don't expect the full-blown tailgate extravaganza you might see elsewhere.
