The Found World of Quintana Roo: A 600 mile trek off the beaten path (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540754035)

Have you ever visited Canc n or the Mayan Riviera, and wondered what was on the other side of the all-inclusive resorts, all-you-can-drink bars, and lavish swimming pools? Have you ever imagined the small, colorful, and cultural pueblos of coastal real Mexico? This is a true story about the adventures of a father/daughter team trekking the Mayan Coast of Mexico. They recently hiked 600 miles along the coastal Yucat n Mexico, from Canc n to Belize. She decided to donate the last 100 miles to cancer research at Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems through a fundraiser once they crossed the Central American Border. While trekking the entire coastline enduring 110 F, in the sun, over miles and miles of limestone, sandy beaches, and mangrove swamps, they encountered obstacles, such as an inlet that required constructing a raft to get across, Montezuma's Revenge, a Mayan curse, and tropical storms. However, working together made those challenges worthwhile by rewarding them with exciting highlights like exploring remote cenotes and ruins, sleeping in a shed owned by a Mexican fisherman and his family, gathering wild coconuts as their sole source of hydration and food, and hiking the dangerous cliffs at Tulum. Follow this daughter and father team as they trudge through the sand and overcome their obstacles.
