Ahhh, embrace the warmth of Mexico! The Yucatan Peninsula offers gorgeous white sandy beaches, and world-famous archaeological sites from the ancient Mayan culture, but there's more! The history, architecture, and gastronomy of the Yucatan also speak to its more modern history as part of the Spanish empire. Beautiful land formations and turquoise coastal waters provide fantastic opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Today, the urban centers offer vibrant night life, a variety of shopping and many ways to taste the unique flavours of the region.
