I'm especially interested in the idea of visiting places that are off the beaten path a bit and not so overly touristy. Besides the ethical piece, I've really loved the reactions you get from people when they find out you are a tourist in their non-touristy town. I feel like they go out of their way to help you find the coolest hidden gems in town. Interesting also to read about Bacalar in the Matador article. I was lucky enough to swim in their gorgeous lagoon and it's one of my fondest memories. We had a local guide who was so proud to teach us everything about the place. I really want to go back so I can do another tour he offers where he takes you to his grandma's house to make tacos.
