My plan is to arrive at Cancun airport, rent a car, and then immediately head towards Ek Balam. I had planned on stopping by wally world in Cancun to stock up on water and snacks. However, after searching for directions it looks like it's a good ways in the city and naturally the opposite direction of Ek Balam. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are. Would you make the trip to walmart or are there any other places along the way I could stock up at (that aren't ridiculously expensive.) When I say along the way I mean from the airport to Ek Balam and then also from there to Piste/Chichen Itza. Thanks :p

don't waste your time on WalMart. You'll find plenty of mom and pop shops on the way and they don't tend to price gouge in Mexico since all the locals shop there.
