Adventure awaits in the Yucatán!
If all Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula offered were pearly beaches, dazzling turquoise waters and nonstop sunshine, it would be enough. Yet this semi-tropical region also boasts Mayan sites, amazing rainforests filled with exotic animals— and some of the most delicious food around!
Adventure is the name of the game in the fun-loving Yucatán! Picture walking onto the set of Indiana Jones, and you’ll know exactly how it feels to explore the ancient, vine-covered pyramids set deep in the Quintana Roo jungle . . . or imagine being with Jacques Cousteau as you navigate underwater caves and shipwrecks in Banco Chinchorro, the largest coral atoll in the northern hemisphere . . . or Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous as you enjoy a healing soak in candy-pink, salt-filled lakes on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
Eager for a culture fix? You’ll find it in traditional villages like the colonial capital of Merida with its rainbow-hued central plaza and the fishing village of Isla Holbox, where walking barefoot is encouraged—the streets are lined with soft sand! Ready for something livelier? Envision dancing to a salsa beat in a Cancun nightclub . . . touring the coastal wetlands in Sian Ka’an, where pumas and spider monkeys roam free . . . then shopping for huipiles (Mayan dresses) in local crafts markets.
And to cap off your getaway? Imagine checking in to Hacienda San José, a historic plantation turned luxury hotel, to sleep in the Mayan style, nestled in a woven-cotton hammock! Whatever you do on your fantasy escape, you can’t go wrong in the Yucatán!
