Adventures of a Family Vacation in Cancun

Image
One of four posts My wife and I have been to Cancun once before and did zip lining during that trip. When we decided to take the kids with us on this trip, zip lining was at the top of the list to do. I reached out to Martha from Cancun-BestDiscounts.com and booked our Selvatica excursion through her. Before I talk about Selvatica, I need to let you all know about my experience with Martha.
