Travel route: Laredo crossing to the Yucatan
We're planning on crossing the border in Laredo. Our goal is to get into the Yucatan but want to avoid the northeastern route (apparently boring and slow roads). Since I'd love to visit Teotihuaca...

we're planning on entering the Yucatan via Villahermosa >>> Bacalar (supposedly nice lake) >>> Uxmal (ruins) >>> Merida >>> side trip to see flamingo's at Celestun (?) >>> Chichen Itza >>> Valladolid (cenotes) >>> Coba (ruins) >>> Tulum (ruins) >>> Xcalac (Costa Maya) >>> Chetumal >>> ... Belize and further south ...
Bacalar would be after Xcalak. No decent beach or campground in Xcalak. I would stop at Blue Bay Bar/Hotel in Mahahual. Nice malecon & beach. Very small. No campgrounds in Tulum.
Nothing good in Belize, but you can get through in one day to get to Guatamala and Tikal.
Map & Driving times for your route But in reverse order from your plans.
You can camp at ruins of Uxmal and stay & see the night show. Rainbow Park in Merida is closed sometimes. Use entrance off the main road not from mall.
