It’s a long, pothole-riddled road ahead and I’m fresh off the plane from an 11-hour flight from London to Cancun – the perfect conditions for a three-hour drive to reach a small, remote fishing village in the north of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
Locals assure me the trip to El Cuyo will be worth it. Particularly, for anyone wanting to experience the quieter side of Mexico’s coast during its busier months. After several warnings from friends saying I should avoid the peninsula altogether due to overtourism, I’m on a mission to discover less-frequented spots. If I can find them.
