Tailor Made Holidays to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula

Jutting out between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, the Yucatan Peninsula is, thanks to its broad appeal, the number one destination when it comes to Mexico holidays.

Comprising three separate states – Yucatan, Campeche & Quintana Roo – the vast majority of Mexico holidays to the Yucatan Peninsula are based around the beautiful beaches and turquoise waters that line much of its east coast.

Cancun is the region’s most famous beach resort but there are far better beaches, and more appealing hotels, further south along the Riviera Maya and Tulum as well as on the islands of Isla Mujeres & Holbox.

However, it is inland from these beaches that more adventurous visitors will be richly rewarded.

Home to the enigmatic Mayan civilisation that stretched into neighbouring Belize, Guatemala & Honduras, the Yucatan Peninsula is home to a simply staggering number of ancient archaeological sites that range in size from great city-states such as Chichen Itza & Uxmal to smaller, lesser known settlements such as Kohunlich, all the way down to tiny, often un-named ruins hidden away from public view on private estates.

In tandem with these fascinating Mayan sites, the Yucatan Peninsula also bears witness to hundreds of years of Spanish, colonial history in the form of attractive towns such as Valladolid, Izamal, Merida & Campeche together with a number of beguiling haciendas, many lying abandoned, the lucky ones now converted into luxury hotels. No holiday to the Yucatan Peninsula should miss this experience.

Geographically, the Yucatan Peninsula is almost entirely flat, with the dry, scrub-like terrain of the north gradually giving way to the dense jungles of the south. As the Yucatan Peninsula is almost entirely comprised of porous limestone, away from the coast there are few visible signs of water.

What the Yucatan Peninsula does possess is an incredible system of underground rivers and lakes which, where the ground has caved in, become what is known as cenotes, another key feature of the region.

Although much of the east coast has been given over to tourist development, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere is still home to a variety of flora and fauna while Rio Lagartos on the north coast and Celestun on the east coast are also home to a wide variety of birdlife.
