I have listed three hotels in Mexico City all near the Zocola and Templo
Major, the ancient pyramids and temples now underground here. Some areas have
been excavated and the rest is covered with buildings and roads, the hotels are
over the site of the central pyramid and temple area and vortex and star
alignment of Antares (brightest star in Scorpius) the gate keeper to the Inner
Realms there and though the Inner Earth.
IN MEXICO CITY
For Monday 9th or earlier? ...Tuesday
10th, Wednesday 11th...2 nights for the group but 3 nights preferable to start
4pm 10th June
and 15th
June.
Or more nights prior if
you wish to come to Tepoztlan with me on 9th and as a group we will be back
in Mexico City on Sunday 15th after being at Teotihuacan.
You may also want to stay the night of the 16th if
you decide to stay the extra night in Mexico City and fly morning 17th to
Cancun.
Please read below in Internal Flights and Transfers.
The actual group starts 4pm on June 10th Tuesday, I am arriving on evening of
Saturday 7th June and on Monday 9th I will be going out to
TEPOZTLAN.
You may want to arrive by 8th to come if you feel guided.
A day trip to the pyramid and town of Tepoztlan, south of Mexico City.
Tepoztlan is the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl and the pyramid is on the cliff
above the town with a one and half hour walk to the top for those fit and
willing. The pyramid was built in honour of Tepoztecatl, Aztec God of the
harvest and fertility. Those who do not want to walk can enjoy this interesting
town with alternative and arty appeal and ambience.
This is a major vortex point and crystalline grid cross-over point, with
Mothership and many Light Ships through the doorway here.
I
can do a group booking at a hotel I have stayed before with a group that is
right near the Zocalo and was only $20USD a night in 2005, but they are only
contactable by phone or fax and language is a problem so I would need to know
by May 22nd if you want a room there and if single, double or twin.
Or you can try yourself HOTEL SAN ANTONIO 20 Callejon 5 de Mayo No.29 ph +52 55
5518 1625 or 1626 Fax 5512 9906 I am going to try and pre-book 2 singles and 3
twins before I go to Asia.
We want to stay in this area there are a lot of hotels nearby and if you have a Lonely Planet guide
book you can see them all, Hotel Canada is right next door for a little more.
You can check with www.hotelclub.com or other hotel booking sites that you can
google and book a hotel near the Zocalo the area is termed Centro Historico.
Across from the San Antonio is the Hotel Canada which was in 2005 $30USD
Av.
5 de mayo no.47 tel: +52 55 18 21 06 fax: +52 55 55 12 93 10
or just up the road the Holiday Inn
Av Cinco De Mayo 61 Col Centro Mexico City, 06000 right overlooking the Zocola. It is not that expensive at
$76USD/night or $83.10AUD and $97.22AUD with taxes you can book direct online
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/660/en/home or google
hoildayinn.com in
the search box.... and it will come up for your country, there will also be a
free phone number
I have been guided to stay here so trusting to have a room big enough to do
group meditations in private, they do not have a conference room. but the location is
fantastic, at the San Antonio the rooms are very small and no space to use
that is private. You may want to stay also or see if you can share, otherwise it
is only walking distance. I have always stayed at the San Antonio's but keep
getting to stay at the Holiday Inn this time.
Let me know which place feels right for you energy wise/money wise.
See below for summary hotel dates of costs for accommodation, travel.
If you do not want to book on line and want to stay at one of the budget hotels
I will be arriving evening of 7th so can see if I can book you a room when I
arrive as well.

and
http://www.cancuntravel.com/hotelrooms.asp?id=487 … European plan

book them.
In Tulum
Saturday 21st Sunday 22nd and longer if you want to chill out
after we finish.
You can
book your room on the internet to save hassles or try your luck when we arrive.
But on the beach the cabanas are stretched for some distance and on the website
here you can see them all and their location.
http://www.hotelstulum.com/beach_hotels.htm
I have found one that is budget
at $30USD a night for single/double with share bathroom and electricity in the
evening only, pretty basic. We will only be here two nights unless you want to
stay longer after we finish. There are 20 of these cabanas so we could all be
together, there are also 3 cottages with 2 double beds $100USD a night so $50USD
each if you want to share.
http://www.hotelstulum.com/Papaya_Playa/
If you want some where better then
here is the place i stayed last time
http://www.hotelstulum.com/Paraiso/rooms-rates.htm after I finished with the
group. The price
has gone up since 2005 and also places along the beach are expensive but its
nice to be there and in town is not exactly suitable for our work. Also our
currency exchange is in our favour, $1AUD = .9156 cents US

INTERNAL FLIGHTS AND TRANSFERS
When you arrive at Mexico City it is easy to get a safe taxi from the
Airport.
As you come out into the public area of the airport turn left and go out the
doors there are two taxi booths there. One is a lot more expensive so check out
both prices which are up on boards. You will be going to the Historico Area, you
pay at the booth and get a ticket and give it to the next cab inline.
Do not let
anyone take your bags and put you in a taxi, get your ticket first.
In Mexico City we will be using the tube, taxis and either bus out to Tula or
van and I will
organise a van to take us out to Teotihuacán when we go there on the 12th June
and return 15th. I can also organise a van to the airport if we are flying at
similar times to Cancun and also Shuttle from Cancun Airport to Coba.
I am not
sure of exact costs of all this as it depends on per person etc but allow
$300AUD for transfers and shuttles.
i am flying at 8am Monday 16th to Cancun and going to Isla Mujeres for the night
of 16th. There is a Goddess temple at the end of the island and
I took the group there in 2004 in our vans, but do not feel we need to be
there as a group this time, but if you feel to join me then book a
flight at that time and day.
The best place I find and cheapest to book my flights is on
www.jetaboard.com which is an
Australian based company and they can get you anyway with lots of choices of
costs and airlines. My flight to Mexico City from Auckland NZ was $700AUD
cheaper than what it was on the Qantas site, even though I am still flying with
them and Mexicana from LA to Mexico City return. It does not matter what country
you are booking from.
On jetaboard there is a 7.50am flight out on 16th with Mexicana airlines and
return say 24th for $442.40AUD
My Flight to
Cancun is below, I am not on a return fare so its a different airline to
the return fare above
Mon 16 Jun 8:00 AM
Mexico City Aeropuerto Internacional (MEX) Aviacsa 6A473 Mexico City-Cancun Economy
arrives Cancun at 10am
(I am/we can book a shuttle from the Airport to the
ferry for the island if ypu feel to join).
SHUTTLES DO NOT HAVE TO BE BOOKED UNTIL 2 DAYS BEFORE
Or if you want to stay somewhere else on 16th
like Cancun or Playa Del Carmen or Tulum then it would still be good to be on
the same time flights for shuttle to Mexico City airport and shuttle to where
you want to be on the Mexican Caribbean.
You may want to fly on 17th from Mexico City to Cancun and just get a shuttle to
Coba, it is a bit of a journey with public transport, as you would need a taxi
from Cancun Airport to the Bus Station in Cancun, then bus to Tulum and then
depending on when there is a bus from Tulum to Coba, in the afternoon,
I cannot get times on the internet, and you book bus tickets at the bus station.
Distance of Cancun to Tulum which is down
the Coast is 131km and approximately one hour 30 minutes car or van time.
Then inland from Tulum to Coba is 46kms and 30 minutes.
For those who may want to stay an extra day 16th in Mexico City and
fly on 17th then we can meet you at the airport in a shuttle van on our way to
Coba.
If you could be at the Cancun airport by 1.30pm for
pickup on 17th or 1pm from Cancun.
Tune into what times and day you want to fly to
Cancun and let me know so I can organise the Shuttles once I know how many of us
there are.
For this to happen if you could book your flight at
8am 16th June or around 11.30am on 17th June to arrive at
Cancun at 1.30pm for pick up to Coba.
From Coba to Tulum I should be able to organise a transfer to our cabanas at
Tulum Beach.
We will probably need to travel to the ruins in taxis unless we are close or you
enjoy walking along the beach to the ruins.
We can also share hire cars or vans for further travels or from Cancun Airport.
WE ARE IN OFF PEAK...HIGH SEASON STARTS IN JULY AND WE ARE
BEFORE CYCLONE SEASON
AIRFARES
Your airfare will be from your home to MEXICO CITY to arrive by
noon the 10th
June at latest,
if you are long hauling then try and arrive on 9th just so you get a rest
before we start.
Or arriving by evening of 8th June if you wish to come to Tepozltan on the 9th.
MEXICO CITY TO CANCUN on the 16th or 17th June
Aero Mexico and Mexicana as well as a few others fly everyday at many times and
your return ticket on 23rd June or
after.... if you want a day or more at the Caribbean,
then leaving from MEXICO CITY
back home.
Or you may want to travel south or to Guatemala or Honduras and fly out from
another country back to Mexico City or USA or Central or South America.
Unless you are going other places
before or after..
We will be meeting in Mexico City on Tuesday afternoon 4pm 10th June and
finishing evening of Sunday 22nd June at Tulum.
