Erick del Castillo embraces the live like a local phenomenon. Castillo befriends the locals, who have insider knowledge about the cool, less touristy attractions.
Eating and living like a local! That’s the way to avoid the tourist expenses ;) mingle for the best local hotspot, the best local bar, those usually are much cheaper than tourist places and way better experience!
