We are going on a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico starting in mid-December, and wondering what the average on the ground cost per week ranges from. We are trying to get away from the vacation hot-spots (Cancun, Cozumel, etc...) and plan on making our trip as bare-bones financially as possible. If anyone has vacationed there in the last few years could give us a good ballpark figure (and any amazing destinations ^_^ ), that information would be invaluable!

I am a retired American living in Mexico in the state of Veracruz. Have not been to Yucatan, but my Mexican friends tell me it is fantastic. Gasoline is about the equvelent of $2.50 a gallon .If you stay at Mexican roadside hotels, they are usually about the equivelent of $20.00 a nite. The big U.S. type hotels are $6o.oo to $1oo.oo a nite. Eat at the little tiny Mexican restaurants you will see everywhere and ask for the "comida corrida" ....the fast meal of the day. Usually equivelent of $2.50. If I can help you with any other info...insurance, visas, etc., you can email me. Hope you have a great trip. You will have to pass within a few miles of my house as you drive so maybe you can say "hi." Also...best place to cross is at McAllen , TX. DO NOT cross at Laredo! Oh, and my Mexican friends say that Merida is an absolutely beautiful city to visit.
