Quick trip to Cancun, Mexico. What an awesome place.  The history there is just mind boggling. We climbed a temple that had been build 3000 years ago from an ancient civilization. Mexico continues to amaze with the food, art, and culture.

Snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico with an underwater art exhibit.

Snorkeling around a sunken ship from the early 20th century. 

Chichen Itza was beautifully restored, the main temple, El Castille, aka Temple of Kukulkan, was an amazing sight to see. Our tour guide was one of the best we've ever seen. He is an archaeologist and professor that does this for extra money for his family. He is also a native Mayan descendant.  We highly recommend using mayan explorers. It was a small group and he answered all questions and was very informative. http://mayans-explorers.com/mayan-tours/chichen-itza-ek-balam/
