Surviving the Tropics

Remember to bring bug repellent and bio sunscreen, keep in mind that regular sunscreens have oils that pollute the water, therefore check for an environmentally friendly one to use.
Mga paraan para makatipid

Buy groceries at the Mercado

You can get good food at the market place, I would recommend Darlenys to buy groceries, as well as Dunosusa

Wednesdays is navigation free

Take in consideration that on Wednesday all boats are restricted from operating tours. This is in order to maintain the fragile water ecosystem.

Best for groceries: Chetumal

If you fancy some nice proteins like meat or sea food, for cooking, then Walmart or Chedraui are the best options to get them. You’ll have to drive 25min to Chetumal.
