Peligrozo on vacation in Celestun
The town of Celestun is located on the west coast of the Yucatán, a "short" drive from Mérida. The town has many beach restaurants and they serve the best seafood Peligrozo Azul ever had the pleasure to eat. But be warned, the drive to this beautiful beach town is not for the weak of stomach. There are no highways or big roads, you have to drive through all the quaint small town and there are bout 300 topes on the way there. What are topes you ask? They are the biggest, meanest speed bumps you will ever encounter. Visit Celestun if you dare... I recommend eating at Restaurante La Playita and ordering the ceviche. Also make sure to stay for sunset.

Peligrozo Azul on Vacation
It had been a few years since Peligrozo Azul had gone back to his home-land, the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Since it had been a long time coming he decided to scheduled a 9 day stay in the peninsula. Peligrozo Azul booked a flight, made reservations at a resort in Playa del Carmen and rented a car. He wanted this trip to be pampering, relaxing with some adventures.
The first 4 days he would spend in an all-inclusive, adults only resort,the Royal Hideaway in Playacar. He wanted to make sure it was adults only since all year-round he plays and performs for kids... this was a vacation after all. From his location in Playacar he visited the island of Cozumel, which is only a 30 minute ferry ride. There he went snorkeling in the gorgeous blue Caribbean water of the island with beautiful tropical fishes. He also rented a scooter to drive around the island. Driving the scooter turned out to be more terrifying than wrestling El Demonio Negro, but game him the chance to see a more quiet side of Cozumel.
After his relaxing stay in the Riviera Maya area he boarded his rental car and took to the road to Merida, there he would stay with other luchador friends. The stay in the Colonial city was also very nice and relaxing, it gave Peligrozo a chance to visit less touristy areas and eat more traditional foods... mercado tamales are awesome! Some of the places he visited where the Merida centro, the mercado, government buildings, universities and ruins. He also had the chance to visit Secestun, a beautiful beach town on the west coast of the Yucatan. There he eat at a beach restaurant, La Playita, they had the best seafood he has ever had. This trip to Yucatan Peninsula was almost perfect. The only thing that went wrong was that his rental car (Blueway car rental) broke down twice... well not literally the same car. His first car broke down, he got a replacement and then the second car also broke down. But maybe that was the adventure he needed.

El Peligrozo Azúl Visits Chichén Itzá
El Peligrozo Azúl is a "Lucha Libre" wrestler born in south Florida from Puertorrican parents. He has been retired from the action for a few years, traveling the world is his new passion. Of course he still goes in costume, if not he wouldn't be El Peligrozo Azúl, he would just be José Octavio Rodríguez Maldonado, which sounds pretty exotic but not as exciting.
In his latest adventure, El Peligrozo visited the Yucatán peninsula of México. There he had a tons of fun, he ate a lot, partied all night and drank all day. Hi visited many cities like Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Valladolid, Izamal, Mérida, Uman and a few others that he cannot remember. In this cities he visited many places like the ruins of Tulúm, Cenote Samulá, the Izamal church, the plaza of Valladolid and Mérida a big pyramid in the middle of a town and a few other places. But out of all this places his favorite has to be Chichén Itzá, one of the new wonders on the world.
