Mexico Trip - 20 days itinerary

Hello everyone!

I am planning a solo trip to Mexico for 20 days (starting from Cancun and finishing in Mexico City) and I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

The trip will take place between 14-Dec-19 and 03-Jan-20 and I will mostly use buses to get from one place to another.

I was thinking about the following itinerary:

Isla Mujeres 2 Days

Valladolid 2 Days

Merida 2 Days

Xpujil 1 Day

Palenque 2 Days

San Cristóbal de las Casas 3 Days

Oaxaca 3 Days

Mexico City 3 Days

Overnight Bus 2 Days

I know there are a lot but I'm one of those who don't relax on their vacation but after their return. I'm more like a morning guy and I'm not planning to go out at night much.

Also, to be honest I'm not a huge fan of history, so I'm thinking maybe I have to drop one or two ruins so as to make the itinerary more doable.

Maybe I should skip Calakmul which is kinda out of the way?

A few more questions:

  • Should I book accommodation and buses in advance? Since it will be high season (Christmas and New Year's Eve). So far, I have only booked the first two nights in Isla Mujeres.
  • The only way to go from Merida to Xpujil is to get the bus from Merida to Campeche and from there to Xpujil?
  • I know it is impossible to do all those things that I have copied down in Palenque but which of them are the ones that I cannot miss?
  • I've heard there is a tour starting in Palenque and finishing in San Cristobal de las Casas while visiting some waterfalls on the way (Aqua Azul, Misol-Ha). Do they have their own vans or they leave you at the Bus station to get the ADO? Do you have to suggest any tour operator?
  • Any must see that I have missed?

Thanks in advance!
