      I've also heard that Contoy Island is beautiful--ONLY pristine, tropical nature! But my understanding is that only day trips are available there from Cancun, so development has PURPOSELY been avoided. Do you know if that's true?

Only a select few government regulated tour operators are permitted to take a select number of visitors daily. They collect a tax that helps the preservation efforts of the island.

    Glad to see you two finally went there. We were there a year ago & loved it also. There was, however an incredible amount of garbage in the streets as soon we got away from the zocalo, beaches. The locals told us that the government had plans to remove the garbage as well as bring in electricity from the mainland since the island runs on a generator plant. They believed this would wildly increase property prices & make it a great place to invest--of course a highly subjective opinion but... Anyway, great vid. Tks

We have had a lot of people tell us this, honestly we didn't know as we had only heard it recommended by English speaking people, so we've done some research and the correct way to say it in Spanish is Ol-Bosh, but it's actually a Mayan word, so technically both and neither are correct LOL

    Nice video!!! Quick heads up... The X in Holbox is not pronounced like an English "X"... It's more like "Sh"... So it would be more like Holbosh... Just like all the other X's from the Mayan language. Xel-Ha for example... Or Xpu-Ha.. All of them are "Sh" sound not "eks"

    ❤ your videos. We are currently in Vietnam! Travelling for 6 months in south east Asia
    We visited Isla Holbox a few years ago and I got infected with parasites called “cutaneous larvae migrants”. Basically a larva coming from unvaccinated dog poop. It took me three months to resolve with the help of tropical medicine specialists back at home due to the medicine not being available in my country. Treatment is easily available in Mexico… keep your shoes on in shady areas 😁
