The Yucatan Peninsula was, and still is, home to the Maya; Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Kabah and Tulum are just a few of the many fascinating archaeological sites strewn throughout the area. Interlaced are local Mayan villages and farms.
The Spanish also left their mark with the walled port town of Campeche, the colonial gem that is Merida and the beautiful henequen Haciendas that are now luxury places to stay. There are underground caves perfect for swimming, wetlands excellent for bird watching and a Caribbean coastline with beaches and activities to suit even the most demanding visitor. The Yucatan has something for everyone.
