Cancun, Mexico caching

[Grandma & Grandpa]

Hi –

Gram & I are heading down to Cancun in a week. Of course, we want to do some geocaching. But we are hearing some “serious concerns” from others about the wisdom of venturing out very far from our hotel.

We are interested in 3 general areas:

1) Hotel Zone east of the city of Cancun, plus caches in the town.

2) Renting a moped on the island of Cozamel, and catching a bunch of the caches around the edges of the island.

3) The Paya del Carmen area, about 15 miles south of Cancun, where our hotel is.

There are roughly a dozen caches in each of these areas that appear to be safely accessible, per the write-ups and logs posted. But we don’t want to do something risky, either…

Anybody had any recent caching or travel experiences near Cancun?

Thanks. cYa, Chris & Jim

I found 3 caches in Playa Del Carmen about 2 years ago. Those 3, along with 2 newer ones, are in pretty safe areas.

I was in Playa last year, and Loved it! We rented a jeep on Cozumel last year and got most of them. We walked around PLaya all day one day and got most of them. I wasnt worried one bit. The locals just keep to themselves. I wouldnt be to worried. They live off our tourism money and for the most part are happy we are spending money down there. We have been down a few times, and everytime we stay in Playa, and not at a fancy resort.
