El Potrero Chico

most information on MP is in the destination section, so I thought a thread in the forum would be worthwhile.

I'm thinking of going down to El Potrero Chico the second half of June for several days.

Also, trying to combine that with some days on the Carribean.

Looking for recommendations on somewhat quiet resort areas that would be a relatively easy flight or maybe drive? from Monterrey.

What is Tampico or nearby areas like for some beach relaxing and maybe mayan ruin sight seeing. Or is somewhere like Veracruz a better option?

Also, am I crazy going there in June.

Thanks.

No, you're not crazy for going in June. You'll have to be in summer mode, though, climb early, take a swim and a siesta from 1 to 4, then climb 'til dark at 9 pm.

The only problem you might have is finding someone to climb with.

As far as beach resorts, don't bother with anything in the Gulf or you will be disappointed--better go to the Carribean, say Tulum. If you want to see the best Mayan ruins, and a very cool all-around place, go to Palenque in Chiapas.
