Ca doit avoir une incidence sur le prix du billet ? Non ?

En faisant le tour de ce forum, (seulement en Asie du Sud-est, je précise), je me suis aperçu que le nombre de discussions sur les Philippines était un des plus faibles ! (982 exactement à ce jour). Non pas que ces discussions ne soient pas de qualité. ! La palme revient à la Thaïlande avec 18640 discussions, loin, très loin devant le Vietnam(3906) puis l'Indonésie (3854), le Cambodge (2726), la Malaisie (2161), le Laos (1662), la Birmanie ..!(1324) et enfin les Philippines....! Ces discussions ont toutes débutées au printemps 2003. Et l'on peut constater (mais c'est une lapalissade) qu'elles sont directement proportionnelles aux nombres de voyageurs allant dans ces beaux pays. Tout le monde sait que la France est au 1er rang mondial (bientôt la Chine va lui piquer cette place!); mais savez-vous que les Philippines se classe au 50ème rang avec 3 millions de touristes ? (chiffre 2007), loin derrière la Thaïlande (18ème avec 14, 5 millions) et la Malaisie (11ème avec 21 millions) et l'Indonésie (37ème avec 5, 5 millions) Exception avec le Laos (76ème avec 842000 touristes) donc bien moins que les Philippines mais plus de discussions… !? Conclusions, moins de discussions = moins de touristes. … ?? Faut’ il s’en plaindre ?, je ne crois pas. Les philippines restent donc pour l’instant préservées du tourisme de masse. Mais la tendance est en train de changer, vu l’exaspération des touristes bloqués à l’aéroport de Bangkok. A propos, sur les 3 millions de visiteurs, 59% viennent d’Asie de l’Est et du Pacifique…et seulement 300.000 viennent d’Europe….et sur ces 300 milles, exactement 19.273 viennent de France. ..en constante augmentation depuis 2004. (les Allemands sont 3 fois plus nombreux !)

Bref, si je fais un ratio idiot, cela fait moins de 3 français par île…hihi.. !

Donc, ne vous privez pas, venez visiter les Philippines, et vous serez conquis par la gentillesse et le sourire permanent de la population. 😉 Au passage, merci à tous les forumeurs qui alimentent ces rubriques et merci à voyageforum.

Je lis les news sur la Georgie, et je suis surpris par ce qui se passe et la violence aux portes de l'Europe. Quelqu'un est il deja alle en Georgie et connait il un peu l'histoire et la realite la bas? Ca semble etre une histoire de gaz ou petrole. Pourquoi ont ils attaque l'ossetie du sud, et pourquoi les Russes ont ils une reaction demesuree a ce point??? Ca montre encore que la CE n'est pas suffisament credible. Pourquoi je poste cela sur VF? Car bien souvent les personnes sur place n'ont pas la meme vision que ce que les medias montrent.

Bonjour, Ma fille travail à Air France, je bénéficie donc des billets GP. J'ai vu ceci sur un site

Billet accompagnant:Un quota pour tous ( que l’on soit marié, pacsé, concubin, conjoint) de 4 R1 ou R2 A/R, pour les accompagnants de son choix. Avec comme obligation de voyager avec l’ayant droit, mais la possibilité de le faire en fonction ou en MEP, et utilisables pour 2 personnes maximum, et par voyage.

Comment cela marche ? Puis-je faire voyager n'importe qui avec moi en lui faisant profiter de mon tarif GP ? Et si oui comme obtenir ce billet ? De plus j'ai plus de 60 ans savez vous s'il existe d'autre avantage pour moi ? merci à vous et bon weekend

Voici le récit de 3 merveilleuses semaines passées au lac. Avec Laurent, ça fait déjà un mois et demi qu'on est à Moscou pour nos études. Histoire de profiter d'être déja si loin, on s'est dit " Pourquoi ne pas bouger plus loin après ? ". Et en regardant la carte, on a vu le Baïkal. On ne savait vraiment pas tout ce qui nous attendait là-bas, toutes les merveilles que nous allions découvrir...

Le Transsibérien

Tout a commence à Moscou le 20, avec ce fameux train dans lequel on pensait s’ennuyer comme jamais auparavant. En plus de 90h, il y avait vraiment moyen ! On a eu peur en arrivant de nos voisines, 2 russes qui pouffaient entre elles dès qu'on leur demandait quelque chose, se disant l’une l’autre « je n'ai pas compris... Ah Ah » . La perspective de longues conversations avec elles était donc impossible... Heureusement, de l’autre côté nous avons eu des voisins plus loquaces, tous originaires de Sibérie et parlant volontiers des us et coutumes du coin, en particulier Marina, devouchka de notre âge, fort charmante et énigmatique. Le paysage sinon était assez sympathique : forêt, forêt, forêt, et parfois une ville, tous les 100km des qu’on est entré en Sibérie, une fois passé l’Oural. Les arrêts, 20-30mn toutes les 7 ou 8h, étaient par contre plus intéressant, car chaque ville a son combinat spécialisé et donc sa production particulière. Ça se voit en descendant du train au nombre de babouchkas qui vendent la même chose : poisson séché, noix de cèdres, laines... Idéal pour tester la gastronomie locale ! Le tout accompagné de thé noir, la boisson préférée des russes, préparé à l’aide du samovar, grosse réserve à eau chaude dont sont équipées les maisons russes mais aussi notre wagon. Le 2ème soir, nous avons eu droit a un spectacle d’une rare beauté : à travers les vitres du train, nous avons assisté pendant plus de 5 heures à un déluge d’éclairs. En moyenne toutes les 4 ou 5 secondes, un éclair tombait et illuminait la taïga d’une lumière électrique et irréelle. Notre contrôleur, grand sexagénaire chauve et à la dentition émaillée d’or, est originaire de Severobaikalsk et nous invite à prendre le thé. Nous passons d’agréables moments avec lui à l’écouter parler du lac qu’il connaît bien. A un arrêt, Laurent, grand amateur de photographie, en profite pour réaliser sa plus belle photo, et nous échangeons nos adresses. Au final le voyage est passe très vite et nous ne l avons pas vu passer, excepté la journée a 35 degrés dans le wagon ! Pourtant, aux descriptions de voyageurs que j’avais pu lire auparavant, je m'attendais à une rude épreuve, nerveuse et olfactive, mais pour nous le voyage fut comme un enchantement, entraîné que nous étions vers l’inconnu et la nature a n’en plus finir.

Enfin, le lac !

Après, arrivée à Severobaikalsk. Enfin, le lac ! Un peu déçu au début, sûrement parce que j’habite à 2km de la Manche. On a trouvé un logement par l’intermédiaire de Natalia Raspoutina. Elle travaille à la toute nouvelle office de tourisme et s’exprime dans un français excellent. Nous avons passé une nuit assez sympathique dans le bungalow qu’une famille de NijniAngarsk a tout juste fini de construire pour accueillir des touristes. On a pu profiter de leur « bania », le bain russe. Il consiste en une pièce chauffée par un gros poêle à bois sur lequel sont placées des pierres. Pour faire circuler le sang, on se fouette avidement de branches de bouleaux, puis on sort dehors a défaut de douche froide, mais pas trop car des qu on a repris une température normale les moustiques arrivent. Seule déception, le comportement trop intéressé de nos hôtes :

- Venez manger ! - Merci il est 15h on a mangé à midi on n’a vraiment pas faim. - Ouh là là impossible ! On est en Russie, ça ne se refuse pas ! Vous êtes nos invités, on ne refuse pas une invitation !

...

- 100p chacun SVP. - Mais on n’a mangé qu’une soupe tellement on avait pas faim ! - Ah oui mais il a bien fallu qu’on aille au produkti et qu’on prépare et ici c’est une gastinitsa il faut payer, vous êtes Français de toute façon qu'est-ce que ça peut vous faire de nous donner ça c’est rien pour vous !

Expérience un peu décevante donc et nous avons rapidement passé notre chemin !

😕j'ai un problème et j'espère que quelqu'un peu m'aider! Celè fait un ans que j'ai rencontrer mon ami de coeur, c'est un cubain et il vit à cuba maintenant nous prochetons de nous marié mais je ne sais pas ou m'adresser ici pour avoir les info dont j'ai besoin! Par où je commence ???? J'ai entendue parler d'une lettre d'invitation mais je ne sais qu'est-ce que sais! Qu'est-ce que j'ai comme papier pour le mariage les cout? Je suis totalement perdus!

😄🤪 Bonjour à tous.

Hi there,

I’ve been reading some really conflicting info about the best ways and advantages of exchanging euros for Mexican pesos. For those with recent experience, could you shed some light? Is exchanging at the airport currency exchange offices more worthwhile? Other advice suggests that withdrawing with an international bank card is the best option. Thanks for sharing your experiences on this! Philippe

Hi there,

I’m planning a trip around Mexico and looking for the best way to get from Mazunte to San Cristóbal de Las Casas by bus.

Has anyone done this route before?

Thanks in advance!

Philippe

Arrival at Chetumal Airport - Car rental - 3 days in BACALAR: Magnificent lagoon. The edges of the lagoon are private (so paid access!). From the road, you can't see the lagoon. You have to take one of the many unpaved trails and walk about 2 km. You get a beautiful view of the lagoon from the Bacalar fort, a charming little lively town. Los Rapidos: A really beautiful spot (paid entry, of course!). It's definitely worth spending a few hours there. You just let yourself drift gently with the current in turquoise, warm water. Hard to find—it's very poorly signposted. Cenote Azul: Very close to Los Rapidos. It's a round lake with deep blue water. Nothing extraordinary. We have the same in Auvergne! A little restaurant by the edge is nice. Cocalitos: Beautiful viewpoint over the lagoon and the submerged cenote. Developed shoreline (large field to lay your towel, hammocks, bar). Mayan ruins ICHTIKAL, recently discovered. Recent developments, and one of the few places still free (parking is paid). A lovely walk in the woods, but as everywhere in this region, there are very few animals! 1 night in Pisté to visit Chichen Itza at the first light. Hire a French-speaking guide and go at opening time to enjoy the site before the tourist buses arrive. It's an exceptional place! At the end of the visit, check out the Sacred Cenote. It's inside the site at the end of a small path lined with souvenir vendors. Just to see—no swimming. Cenote TSUKAN: A recently discovered cenote, so still not very crowded (12 km from Pisté). Very peaceful environment. Swimming (water max. 22°C). Life jacket mandatory. Good restaurant. 2 days in Coba - Visit to the Coba ruins. Very busy site. Paid parking + tax for the Mayans + site entry. Punta Laguna: A 3-hour walk in the woods with a guide. We saw just one pair of howler monkeys high up in a tree, 25 m away! As I mentioned earlier, we saw few animals and birds in this region (except for iguanas, which are everywhere). I imagined trekking through the jungle surrounded by monkeys and toucans—nope, no jungle, just undergrowth, and no toucans (they come in July during the rainy season, apparently!). 4 days on the island of COZUMEL: Car ferry taken from Calica (Punta Venado). Bookings on the Ultramar or Transcaribe websites. Sargassum invasion on the beaches (same, if not worse, in Tulum and Playa del Carmen, according to tourists we met). All beaches are private. Access to Beach Clubs is expensive. You have to book entry to Playa Palancar if you want to be sure to get a spot (it was full for us!). The El Cielo beach to see the starfish is only accessible by boat! Near El Cielo, many stingrays swim in the shallow waters of El Cielito. That's where all the boats stop, and we enjoyed ceviche with water up to our knees and rays looking for food! Poor rays!!!

Hi, We’re planning a trip to Mexico this summer (loop through Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche). We’re thinking of using public transport or possibly renting a car. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website has a lot of recommendations. Are these states safe for solo travelers? Are there any precautions we should take or areas to avoid? Thanks,

This one-month trip, from January 18 to February 17, 2026, allowed us to visit Mexico City and travel through the states of Puebla, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. We mainly used buses (ADO company) for medium and long distances and colectivos or taxis (or Uber) for shorter trips. Before leaving, I had contacted several people on the ground: Harry, a Vendéan settled in Oaxaca offering, among other things, discoveries of artisan villages or the Monte Albán site, and Oscar in Comitán de Domínguez. I’ll come back to our meeting with Oscar, who runs a local agency (CVL Travel Turismo Alternativo & Corre la voz) and owns a very pleasant hostel, a real highlight of our trip. Our journey took place in 8 stages on a loop starting from Mexico City. The connections between each were made by day or night buses depending on the trip duration. I had booked our seats in advance, either directly on the ADO company’s website or through booking platforms depending on the rates offered. Note that by planning ahead, I was able to benefit from very interesting "Early Booking" rates. There are several comfort classes. For all our trips, I had booked seats in Primera class buses, except for two in GL (Grand Luxe) class. The rates are very reasonable, and the buses turned out to be comfortable or even very comfortable (only the basic seat recline might surprise you).

Our itinerary and number of days per stage: Stage 1 – Mexico City: 4 days Stage 2 – Puebla: 2 days Stage 3 – Oaxaca: 4 days Stage 4 – San Agustinillo: 4 days Stage 5 – San Cristóbal de las Casas: 3 days Stage 6 – Comitán de Domínguez: 6 days Stage 7 – Palenque: 4 days Stage 8 – Mexico City: 2 days If I were to do it again, I’d remove one day from Palenque and add it either to Puebla or San Cristóbal to visit nearby sites or villages, or to San Agustinillo to enjoy one more day by the Pacific Ocean.

Stage 1: Mexico City (2,200 m / 9.2 million inhabitants) We arrived in the Mexican capital around 10:00 PM. The simplified customs process was very quick. After exchanging some money at the airport, we took a taxi to our youth hostel. We got around the capital on foot, of course, but also by metro. Signs are very rare, and we took the train in the wrong direction several times. After a few mistakes, we systematically asked on the platform if we were going the right way. The metro is very affordable. You need to get a rechargeable card (the Tarjeta de Movilidad Integrada) and top it up as needed. This card (less than 1 €) isn’t personal, so there’s no need to get one per person.

Mexico City: Day 1.



Visits and walks of the day (note: many museums are closed on Mondays): The Zócalo or Constitution Square: it’s one of the most beautiful, largest (195m x 240m), and oldest squares in the world. This is where Cortés decided to build the center of the new Spanish city on the site of the former Tenochtitlan market. Stones from the pyramids were used to pave the esplanade and build the surrounding colonial churches and buildings. During our visit, the huge square was covered with (resin) cacti, the theme of the temporary exhibition at the time. Indeed, temporary events or exhibitions take place here throughout the year. It’s also the endpoint for many protest marches.











The cathedral: it’s sinking by one centimeter per year despite massive stabilization work (the collapse of many Mexican buildings—30 cm/year—is due to groundwater pumping). It was built starting in 1571 and completed in... 1813. The modest remains of the Templo Mayor (exterior view): they have high symbolic value, as this monument was the most important in the Mexica Empire.

We then walked through the streets of the historic center to the Santísima Church, unfortunately closed for renovation work. Next, we took the metro to visit one of Mexico’s most important pilgrimage sites: the Insigne y Nacional Basílicas de Santa María de Guadalupe, as well as the Capilla del Cerrito on the hill. The first, dating from the colonial era, is really leaning a lot.



The second, shaped like a rotunda, is very impressive from the inside.



In the basement, there’s a sacred tunic where, in 1531, an image of the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared. A real mystery for scientists, the garment has never deteriorated since that date. Slow-moving conveyor belts allow pilgrims to admire it, preventing crowds from gathering in front of the image for hours. Well thought out!

From the top of the Capilla del Cerrito, you get beautiful views of huge Mexico City.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.

Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!

Hi there,

We’re planning a road trip in Mexico.

Is it feasible to rent a car from Mexico City to Oaxaca? What’s the road safety like?

After that, we’d like to take a domestic flight to the Yucatán. Same question—especially about safety when visiting Palenque.

We have a child, so we don’t want to take any risks with safety.

We speak Spanish and have already lived in Nicaragua for two years.

What’s the weather like in August? We’re a bit unsure.

Thanks for your help and tips!

Hi everyone, happy to be back on this site. I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol) 1. All-inclusive 2. Adults-only 3. Beautiful beach and pool 4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels") 5. One-week stay in February 2026 6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace

Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.

Thanks to all of you for your recommendations! Adjou

Hi, I’m heading to Cancun next January and I’m looking for a rental car. I’m overwhelmed by all these cheap offers from sites like Booking, Carigami, and others... Some reviews mention extra insurance fees that had to be paid on the spot. I’d love to hear about your experiences—what company did you use? Were you charged any additional costs? A lot of ads redirect to Touracancun, but they don’t seem trustworthy to me. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi everyone!

That was about all the Spanish I could speak before we left... Luckily, Tom, 15 and in high school, gets by just fine! And Caroline did a year of Duolingo before we took off... Anyway, after 55 days in the American West three years ago, it’s Mexico’s turn for this second long adventure.

A quick intro to the crew:





- Oscar, 10, a sporty and lively little boy who loves swimming and basketball, - Tom, 15, a high schooler, sporty and tall, who loves swimming and American football, - Caroline, 47, a PE teacher, sporty , loves hiking and snorkeling, - and me, Sylvain, 50, a science teacher, sporty, loves traveling and always has a possible next trip in mind

We mostly travel by swapping our house to discover beautiful France and the world: 135 swaps over the last 13 years.....

Our itinerary is pretty classic since it’s our first time in the Yucatán, and we’ll make a little 10-day detour to Belize...

See you soon...

Hi,

My son is finishing up a year of working holiday in Canada soon. His plan is to take a bus from Montreal to Florida on 10/26, stay there for a few days, then fly to Cancun, Mexico. From there, he doesn’t have a precise plan yet, except to head down to Panama if the security situation in the countries he’ll cross allows it. Then, in March 2026, he’ll take a flight to Martinique, where he’d like to either find a sailboat (as crew) for the return transatlantic crossing (option 1) or do a sailing internship that includes the crossing (option 2).

So my questions are: - Will he be able to re-enter Mexico without an exit date or proof of a flight back to Belgium? Would being able to prove his return by sailboat with a specific date (option 2, the sailing internship) make things easier? - Are there any countries to avoid between Mexico and Panama? He’s traveling backpacker-style on a small budget.

Thanks for your answers.

Hi everyone, absolute travel lovers after our 20 trips to the USA, we’ve decided to head to Mexico in February (flight already booked: Nice to Cancun on February 20th, returning on the evening of March 1st).

I’m mainly hesitating about trying to do too much, as usual when discovering a new country. Here’s my itinerary—I’m unsure about a few things: - **Day 1**: Should we stay relaxed at the resort we booked, or should we do Isla Mujeres instead? If we stay, when’s the best time to visit the island? - **Day 3**: If we visit Chichén Itzá right at opening, will the Ik-Kil cenote be quieter in terms of tourists? If not, which cenote nearby would you recommend? - **Big decision**: Should we go all the way down to Bacalar or not? After that, it feels a bit rushed. **Day 6** is mandatory, or are there other options? Honestly, I’m counting on your advice!

For context, we’re a family of four (with very grown-up kids who are used to traveling), and we’ve already rented an SUV for this period. Thanks in advance for your help—it’ll be invaluable!
