Where to Find It: La Habichuela is a legendary spot in Cancun, known for its exceptional seafood, including its ceviche. You can also find excellent ceviche at El Fish Fritanga, a beachside eatery where you can enjoy your meal with a view of the lagoon.

Cochinita Pibil: A Yucatán Speciality


Cochinita Pibil is a traditional dish from the Yucatán Peninsula, made by marinating pork in achiote (a bright red spice) and sour orange, then slow-roasting it in banana leaves. The result is tender, flavorful meat that melts in your mouth.

Where to Find It: For a taste of authentic Cochinita Pibil, visit La Parrilla or La Destilería, two restaurants known for their dedication to traditional Mexican flavors. Both spots offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for savoring this local delicacy.

Marquesitas: A Sweet Treat


When wandering through the streets of Cancun at night, you’ll likely come across vendors selling marquesitas—crispy, rolled-up crepes filled with a variety of sweet and savory ingredients like Nutella, cheese, and jam. This local street snack is beloved by both locals and tourists alike.

Where to Find It: You’ll find marquesita carts in almost every major park or plaza in Cancun, but for the best ones, check out the vendors at Parque de las Palapas. These sweet treats are the perfect way to end your day of exploring.

Tamales: A Taste of Tradition


Tamales are a classic Mexican dish made from masa (corn dough) filled with various ingredients like chicken, pork, or beans, and steamed in corn husks or banana leaves. They’re a perfect example of Mexican comfort food and can be found in both street food stalls and restaurants.

Where to Find Them: For some of the best tamales in Cancun, head to El Cejas in Mercado 28, a bustling market filled with local food vendors and shops.

Exploring the Depths: Swimming with Whale Sharks in Mexico

Mexico's crystal-clear waters are home to one of the ocean's most majestic creatures: the whale shark. These gentle giants, known as the "gentle giants of the sea," attract adventurers and nature enthusiasts from around the world to experience the thrill of swimming alongside whale sharks in Mexico. In this blog post, we'll delve into the unforgettable experience of swimming with whale sharks in Mexico.

Despite their impressive size, they pose no threat to humans, feeding primarily on plankton and small fish. Their distinctive markings and graceful movements make them a sight to behold underwater.

Location:


The Yucatan Peninsula, particularly the waters around Isla Holbox, Isla Mujeres, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Banco Chinchorro, is one of the best places in the world to swim with whale sharks. These areas provide ideal feeding grounds for the sharks, attracting them in large numbers during the summer months.

The Experience:


Imagine slipping beneath the surface of the turquoise waters and coming face to face with a massive whale shark gliding effortlessly through the ocean. Guided tours offer the opportunity to snorkel alongside whale sharks in Mexico, allowing you to observe them up close in their natural habitat. As you swim alongside whale sharks in Mexico, you'll be awestruck by their peaceful demeanor and the sense of wonder they inspire.

Conservation Efforts:


While swimming with whale sharks is an incredible experience, it's important to prioritize their conservation. Responsible tour operators adhere to strict guidelines to minimize the impact on the sharks and their environment. By supporting sustainable tourism practices, visitors can help ensure that future generations have the opportunity to encounter these remarkable creatures.

Embracing the Spirit of St. Patrick's Day: Celebrating Irish Heritage and Traditions

Embracing the Spirit of St. Patrick's Day: Celebrating Irish Heritage and Traditions

St. Patrick's Day, observed annually on March 17th, is a vibrant celebration of Irish culture and heritage. Initially a religious feast day honoring St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, it has evolved into a global phenomenon marked by lively festivities, traditional foods, and a sea of green.

History and Origins:


St. Patrick, born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, was kidnapped by Irish raiders and brought to Ireland as a slave. After escaping, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, spreading Christianity and eventually becoming the country's most beloved saint. St. Patrick's Day commemorates his death on March 17th, around the year 461.

Irish Traditions:


St. Patrick's Day is synonymous with various Irish traditions. Wearing green is a nod to Ireland's lush landscapes and is believed to bring good luck. Parades, a hallmark of the holiday, originated in the United States but are now held in cities worldwide, showcasing Irish pride with marching bands, floats, and dancers. The tradition of pinching those not wearing green adds a playful element to the festivities.

Irish cuisine takes center stage on St. Patrick's Day, with dishes like corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, and hearty stews enjoyed by many. Libations flow freely, with Guinness, Ireland's famous stout, often at the forefront of celebrations.

Global Celebrations:


While Ireland hosts some of the largest St. Patrick's Day parades, including Dublin's renowned festival, the holiday is celebrated with equal fervor around the globe. From New York City to Tokyo, cities of all sizes embrace Irish culture with parades, concerts, and pub crawls. Some unique celebrations include dyeing rivers green, as seen in Chicago, and the turning of iconic landmarks, such as the Sydney Opera House, green for the day.

Activities and Crafts:


Families and individuals can partake in a variety of St. Patrick's Day-themed activities and crafts. Crafting shamrock decorations or leprechaun traps can be a fun way to engage children and get into the holiday spirit. Baking Irish soda bread or whipping up a batch of shamrock-shaped cookies are delicious ways to celebrate at home.

Music and Dance:


Irish music and dance are integral to St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Traditional Irish tunes, such as "Danny Boy" and "The Wild Rover," evoke a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie. Many communities host ceilidhs, lively gatherings featuring Irish dancing and music, where participants can join in the fun and learn traditional steps.

As the echoes of St. Patrick's Day festivities begin to fade, and the emerald hues of the celebrations linger in our memories, why not keep the spirit of the holiday alive with Nomads Experience? Just as St. Patrick's Day bridges cultures and brings people together in celebration, Nomads Experience offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures and create unforgettable memories.

So, as you reflect on creating memories and the joyous moments shared with friends and family, consider extending your celebration with Nomads Experience. Cheers to new adventures and cherished memories!

Spring Equinox at Chichén Itzá: Everything You Need to Know

Spring Equinox at Chichén Itzá: Everything You Need to Know

The spring equinox at Chichén Itzá is a fascinating phenomenon that draws travelers from around the world. This event not only marks the beginning of spring but also holds deep cultural and astronomical significance for the ancient Maya. Each year, around March 21st, the sun aligns perfectly with the Kukulcán pyramid, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle that has captivated people for centuries. This unique phenomenon is just one part of the rich history and traditions surrounding the spring equinox at Chichén Itzá.

What Happens During the Spring Equinox at Chichén Itzá?


During the spring equinox, thousands of people gather at Chichén Itzá to witness a unique phenomenon: the visual effect of the feathered serpent descending the Kukulcán pyramid. This spectacle occurs due to the position of the sun and the shadows cast on the structure, creating the illusion of a serpent descending the pyramid's steps. The ancient Maya considered this event a sacred moment that marked the balance between light and darkness, and they performed rituals to honor their gods and request good harvests.

Additionally, the spring equinox held profound significance for the Maya in terms of their calendar and cosmology. It represented the beginning of a new agricultural cycle and the rebirth of nature, as well as the transition between the earthly and spiritual worlds.

The spring equinox is also an opportunity to connect with nature and the universe. The alignment of the pyramid with the sun during this period reflects the deep astronomical knowledge of the ancient Maya and their relationship with the cycle of life.

When is the Spring Equinox in 2024?


The Spring Equinox 2024 at Chichén Itzá refers to the moment when the sun's rays create a triangular shadow on the northern staircase of the Kukulcán Pyramid at Chichén Itzá. The shadow appears to descend the staircase until it reaches the head of a serpent carved at the base of the pyramid, thus marking the beginning of a new agricultural cycle for the ancient Maya. For them, this event signals the arrival of the rains and the opportune time to begin planting, symbolizing fertility and prosperity for the upcoming harvest.

This phenomenon of Light and Shadow is of utmost importance to Maya Culture and attracts thousands of visitors from around the world each year. In 2023, approximately 20,500 visitors were recorded, while in 2022 around 12,000 visitors were received, demonstrating the growing interest in witnessing the incredible spectacle of Kukulcán's descent.

The time when the Feathered Serpent "Kukulcán" will begin its descent in Chichén Itzá on March 21, 2024, will be at approximately 3:24 pm (Yucatán time) (4:24 pm Cancún time). If you decide to travel to Chichén Itzá on this day, it is important to arrive at least two hours in advance. You will need to park about 1-5 kilometers away from the pyramids and walk to the entrance. It will be a day you will remember forever, full of mysticism and connection with one of the most fascinating cultures in history.

Fauna marina en los arrecifes de mexico

Where to Stay During the Equinox?


If you are planning to attend the spring equinox at Chichén Itzá, consider staying at Nomads Experience hostels in Cancún and Isla Mujeres. Our hostels offer a convenient location, friendly atmosphere, and modern amenities at affordable prices. Additionally, you'll be close to other important archaeological sites and beautiful Caribbean beaches to complete your experience in the Riviera Maya.
