The Yucatan Peninsula Offers Something For Every Type of Traveler

Whether you enjoy learning about ancient cultures, prefer basking in stunning sandy beaches, you have a sense of adventure waiting to be unraveled, or the party animal in you needs to get out, the Caribbean Coast of Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula has something for everyone.

Comprising of three Mexican states: Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo, you will no doubt find something interesting, exciting and suitable for your travel style in the Yucatan Peninsula.

For the Sun and Sea Lover

The beaches on the Mexican Caribbean coast are out of this world. The contrast between the soft white sands and the bright turquoise waters will have you hypnotized with pleasure.

If you prefer to be underwater without the crowds, Isla Contoy (Contoy Island) is what you are looking for. Approximately 30 kilometers north of Isla Mujeres in the state of Quintana Roo, Isla Contoy allows a small number of people to visit each day. Here, you will enjoy snorkeling along the beautiful coral reef, bird-watching, and savoring a delicious meal.

For the Adrenaline Junkie

If spending hours sitting at the beach is not your thing, don’t fret… There is an adventure park on the Riviera Maya where you can experience the fastest zip-line network in Mexico and then go off road on a 4×4 across the rainforest. And if that is not enough, you can follow it by taking a dip or rafting in a cenote, an underground clear water hole.

On a different day, you can go out to sea with experts on a boat and swim with whale sharks!

For the Culture Lover

Chichén Itzá in Yucatán, is one of the new seven wonders of the world. These ancient Mayan ruins won’t disappoint. Get up close to history by checking out the El Castillo Pyramid, the Temple of Warriors, the Great Ball Court, the Temple of Xtoloc and many more archeological sites.

Finish your tour with a tasty lunch buffet of traditional Yucatán cuisine and recharge energies to visit the colonial town of Valladolid where you can wander across colorful streets and pick some souvenirs at the markets.

For the Party Animal

Look no further, Cancun is your place. After a long, engaging day at the pristine Cancun beaches and adrenaline fueling activities, Cancun will meet your needs to unravel with a drink (or two, or ten) and enjoy the nightlife. Packed with hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants, Cancun isn’t lacking on energy at night.
