Yucatan Peninsula

The Yucatan Peninsula is located in southeastern Mexico between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Its spectacular coast, white sand beaches, enormous biodiversity, and fascinating history make it a magnificent holiday destination and a must-see on any Mexico itinerary. Visit picturesque colonial towns such as Campeche, stunning landscapes, thriving Mayan villages and archaeological sites, including the cherished Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Uxmal ruins. This vibrant peninsula is also one of the most ecologically important regions in the world. Explore dense jungles teeming with flora and fauna, horse back ride, go deep-sea fishing or scuba dive in an underwater paradise of corals and exotic marine life. Accommodation ranges from luxurious beachfront resorts to exquisite rural haciendas, which have been lovingly restored into boutique hotels.
