Arsgan House Mystery
So, I'm planning a trip to this gorgeous-looking chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. The photos online are stunning, but they don't show much about the surrounding area. I'm curious about the local wi… more
Cancun's wildlife is mostly pretty chill near the tourist areas – iguanas sunning themselves, maybe some coatis poking around for scraps. But yeah, you're closer to the jungle than you might think. Jaguars are a possibility, but incredibly rare near populated areas. More likely to see a raccoon or a opossum causing mischief. As for "terrifying," that depends on your definition. Mosquitoes are relentless, and the occasional spider might give you a jump scare. Legends connected to Arsgan House... that's intriguing! Cancun has a rich Mayan history, and local stories are often woven into the landscape. I'd suggest asking around – maybe some locals have heard tales about that specific house. Don't be afraid to strike up conversations with people you meet. You might just unearth something amazing... or mildly unsettling! Either way, it'll add to the adventure. Enjoy those margaritas!
Secrets of Dreams Vista?
So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancún Golf & Spa Resort next month. I've heard the beach is amazing, but I'm also a big foodie. What are some MUST-try local dishes or restaurants outside the resort… more
For authentic Mexican food, ditch the tourist zones and head into town. There are tons of smaller fondas (small, family-run restaurants) tucked away in the neighborhoods. Look for places packed with locals – that's usually a good sign. You'll find amazing tacos al pastor, cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork), and fresh seafood that's way better and cheaper than anything you'll find in the resort area. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye. Also, check out Mercado 28 – it's a bit touristy, but you can still find some really good, inexpensive eats there amongst all the souvenirs. Just be prepared to navigate a bit; it can get crowded. Have fun!
That's awesome advice! Thanks so much. I'm definitely up for a little adventure and exploring beyond the resort. Tacos al pastor are my weakness, so that's a must-try. Mercado 28 sounds interesting too – a little touristy is fine as long as the food's good and cheap. I appreciate the heads-up about the crowds though, I'll be prepared for a bit of a scramble!
