Yucatan (faded cover) | ITMB 2022

The peninsula of Mexico that juts eastward and upwards into the Caribbean is probably the most popular visitor destination in all of Latin America; it certainly is our best-selling map of any part of Mexico!

A Region Rich in History and Culture

Historically, it was the centre of the wonderful Mayan civilization, the remains of which are still easily visited in Mexican, Belician, and Guatemalan portions of the great Yucatan. Touristically, it is a magnet for sun-lovers, with the Cancun area in particular being a massive concentration of resort hotels. The area south of Playa del Carmen and the nearby island of Cozumel are also touristic magnets.

Must-Visit Destinations

Yucatan is, however, a lovely place to explore. Highlights include:

• Valladolid: An ancient Spanish town, replete with lovely churches and a town plaza to die for.
• Merida: Home to one of the most ornate cathedrals in Mexico.
• Belize: Easily accessible, with its preserved Mayan ruins.
• Guatemala: Accessible via a good road, offering the chance to explore the famous Tikal ruins. Our map actually shows 19 sets of ruins in Guatemala alone.
• Chichen Itza: A must-see destination in the Mexican portion of the peninsula.
• Tulum: Explore the stunning coastal remains.
