Mediocre. no interest in things Mexican. The food at the tequila tasting place was absolutely dreadful, unappealing and cold. Worse fajitas I have had in my life

went on the archaeological excursion to Copalita. Excruciatingly hot and humid. Nothing like Chicken-itza. Mediocre archaeological site. Recommend avoiding

The train ride was great. The only problem were the riots and strikes in the Atlantic side with rioters closing the roads. typical situation inmost banana Republic's.
