*****ACTIVITIES****
About an hour`s drive east of Chabihau is the village of El Lagartos where you can visit the bird and ecological preserve. To the far east is Cancun, if you need a bigger city from time to time.. . Scattered throughtout the Yucatan are the famous ruins, the largest of which is Chichen Itza, approximately half way between Merida and Cancun. In San Crisanto, a village just west of Chabihau, you can catch a tour to an underground `sweet water` river or cenote and a small ruins area.
*Golf courses are located between Chabihau and Progresso and between Progresso and Merida.
*Lots of water activites available for rental in nearby cities- for snorkeling, sailing, boat tours, deep sea fishing.

***AT the house, birdwatching ( some flying so close you can almost touch them)
-star gazing- incredible view of entire sky, because you are so secluded no competing city lights- would be great to have telescope!
- the upstairs deck, overlooking ocean, is big enough to house a table and chairs and lounge/sunbathing chairs.
-snorkel,kayak, swim -right off your front steps, in seclusion!
***WE ALSO HAVE: a caretaker living in chabihau, whom we pay only $30.00 usd a month, takes care and looks after property when we are away. He and his family have been wonderful in helping with any of our needs, including help when needing hands to remodel house, finding any person you might need help for at a moments notice, almost anything you could need!

***As far as safety in Mexico is concerned,:
we have been visiting Mexico for 15 years, have driven many times and flown many times both to Cancun and Merida, and we have never encountered any problems with safety. We never travel at night in areas we are not familiar with and always cross the border in the morning. We don`t stop until we are about 70 or so miles from the border. We have visited many beautiful cities and sites on the way to and from Mexico, including the city of Tampico where we stay at a Holiday Inn; Tuxpan - where our favorite restaurant is on a barge in the bay and has great quality food; Lake Catemaco, a huge and beautiful lake - between Veracruz and Cuidad del Carmen; Villahermosa, a bustling city and good stopping place before heading north through Champoton and Campeche to Merida. Once you have gotten through the border at Brownsville (where we have never felt unsafe), you are probably safer than being in the United States. The people are very friendly, gracious and helpful.

*****If you wish to get away from the rat race and night life, then Chabihau is a great place for you to settle in a beautiful, tranquil setting. !!!*******
