Surrounded by the glittering Caribbean Sea on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, the Yucatan Peninsula is a must-visit in Mexico. It offers sweeping white-sand beaches to relax on, impressive ruins to get lost in, and crumbling colonial cities to explore.
This is the cradle of the ancient civilization of the Mayans, with ruins scattered across the state, from the impressive Chichen Itza through to virtually unexcavated sites hidden in the jungle. On Yucatan trips you can experience Mexico’s colonial heritage at the beautifully converted haciendas, before heading to the Caribbean coast to relax. There’s a vital energy to the region, matched by the zingy flavours of the food here.
Lost civilizations, Spanish colonial heritage, natural beauty and a rich and unique culture
Few countries can compete with Mexico when it comes to unleashing the inner Indiana Jones in each of us.

Uncover the country’s historical and cultural layers as we journey from the highlands of Mexico City to the jungles and beaches of the Yucatan via the lands of Aztecs, Zapotec, Mayas and Conquistadors.
