San Pedro, a day, a week or a lifetime? Every day boats dock in San Pedro carrying tourists eager to sample another Mayan village. They take a quick walk around, maybe buy a souvenir or sample some local food then leave with no particularly outstanding impression. Then there are travellers who maybe come to San Pedro to relax or take part in one of the many activities on offer in the town. They doubtless enjoy their stay and leave with a positive impression of the friendly Mayan and foreign peoples who live there. They may even visit again or recommend the town to fellow travellers. Then there are those who stay a little longer. They fall in love with the Mayan people, with the relaxed atmosphere of the gringo bars and start to see what makes this town magical. They realise it is more than just a place to recharge your batteries but perhaps a little slice of paradise and they stay another week.
when you find it is hard to leave. A lot of the foreigners who live in San Pedro came for a couple of days but now call this funky little town home. In order to survive some of us have set up businesses but don’t be fooled, it’s not easy to eek out a living in a place like San Pedro. Yet those of us who have chosen to live here know that despite our complaints about limited profit margins we would never give up our piece of paradise to return to the rat race. The lifestyle here is amazing, the people are friendly and the sun shines most of the year. Those of you with a tendency towards a laidback lifestyle and a dislike of the daily 9-5 grind beware. Maybe even take the next boat out of town before the vortex sucks you in...
After a couple of weeks in San Pedro, you find you know all the bar and restaurants owners by name moreover the staff know what you drink and they call you by your name. You can almost feel you are amongst family. That’s
