Solo female traveler, mid 30s. I want to spend about 4 weeks in Mexico or Latin America. I’d like to not rent a car. I’m okay with using public transit, colectivos, hiring a driver or taxi. I’d like to be able to walk to restaurants, stores, activities. My Spanish is good, but not fluent. Where should I go?
I'm a cyclist, and was considering biking around Cozumel. It seems like scooters are more popular, but aside from the heat, I wasn't sure why that is. I'll be visiting in January. I know Playa del Carmen did have a bike theft problem.
Biking would be fun. The roads are 2 lane and only really just loop around the island outside of town. Would make for a nice bike ride. It's also where I saw fireflies for the first time. Really cool as I didn't realize what they were at first. Also the frogs are big.
