Where to go in Yucatan Peninsula

Riviera Maya

The Riviera Maya is synonymous with sun, sea and sand; blessed with beautiful blonde-sand beaches and blue-eyed waters, it is best enjoyed at any number of leading resorts.

Isla Mujeres

The tiny island of Isla Mujeres is a magical experience for the thousands who come to seek out the marine life of the Mesoamerican reef, the second longest in the world.

Uxmal

Uxmal is one of the Yucatan's finest examples of the Puuc architectural style, a site featuring buildings of classical proportions with wide stone mosaic friezes of geometric patterns.

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza is the most famous, visited and extensively restored Mayan site in Mexico.

Merida

The ‘White City' of Merida (named so because of it's sparkling limestone buildings) is the capital of Yucatan state and the peninsula's leading town.

Campeche

The attractive walled city of Campeche is ablaze with immaculately kept pastel-coloured houses; the city is one of Mexico's colonial gems, the narrow streets full of elegant 18th and 19th century houses giving it a distinctly European feel.
