There was definitely an ulterior motive in our choice to head to Playa Del Carmen, though.
After all, it’s probably the top digital nomad destination in all of Mexico. Flights from NYC (where we were for Phish New Year’s) were super cheap to Cancun, so we decided to head to the other side of Mexico and give Playa del Carmen a try. That one definitely stung a little!Įstoy feliz! Everyone is happy at Phish Riviera MayaĪfter finishing up our year-long party by spending the holidays at home, we knew we had to get out of the country and head somewhere warm. As such, we had to settle for streaming the shows from our Airbnb.
We were on our way to our new home of Puerto Vallarta and were pretty strapped for cash. It’s pretty hard to care about missing some concerts when you live in paradise!įor the 2nd go around of Phish Riviera Maya, we were actually in Mexico City. It was disappointing, but we quickly got over it. Being on the complete opposite side of the world and living on a meager student stipend, there was no way we could make that one happen. The first time happened in 2016 while we were living in Bali. This was actually the third time that Phish Riviera Maya happened. So… how did we manage to pull it off? Third Time’s the Charm I’m just saying that for those of us who live in Mexico, it’s a bit of a stretch to be able to attend. I’m not saying it’s not worth it, because it totally is if you’ve got that kind of cash to burn. With the cheapest package for two going for around $4,500, it’s a tough event to pull off for those used to living on pesos – like us. Fine for people on vacation, but not so much for people who live in the area. The only way to get in the door is to buy a very expensive package that also includes airport shuttles, accommodation, and a swag bag of merch. One gripe that many have about these sorts of events (myself included) is that there’s no way to just buy tickets for the shows. A look inside the Barcelo for Phish Riviera Maya
