Playa Newbie from CT

cbrund1079 · 04-01-2008

We have recently become Negril junkies but thought we would try PDC...we really love the beach getting a little concerned about erosion.

We are looking forward to an ATV ride that visits cenotes any suggestions ? Do they rally not celebrate Cinco de Mayo???

Cinco de Mayo is rarely observed in Mexico, since the date has no particular significance except in the state of Puebla. The big celebrations are in th US. Many people are under the impression that the 5th of May is Mexico's independence day, which it is not.

Welcome! Check out the Trip Planning Section. There are tours listed that include ATV rides.
Where in CT are you? I'm in Vernon, outside of Hartford. You are going to love Playa! When are you going?

Hi Newbie-
September 16th is the big mexican holiday, equal to the US 4th of July. They won Independance from the Spanish . I was in Valladolid just this September 15 & 16- Two days of live music in the town square, fireworks and a great parade (for Mexican standards.) All the marching bands were terribly off key but what the heck- everyone was having a great time and it was loads of fun. On Isla they had lots of lighted decorations, but didn't see much in Playa.
Have fun on this site- Everyone is really great and there's lot's of good info.- RangerDon

Cinco de Mayo is a lot st paddy's day, an american (other countries as well) created day for celebrating mexican heritage. Or more likely, a day to sell more corona and jose cuervo.
