Yucatán

Once the center of the Mayan Empire, the Yucatán Peninsula today is among Mexico’s most popular holiday destinations. The region still contains many of the historic sites that capture the essence of this past such as the ruins of Uxmal, Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam, and Chichén Itzá. Additionally, the Yucatán features cultural institutions that reflect its more recent history, like the Teatro José Peón Contreras, Palacio Cantón, the El Atrio del Convento de Izamal, the Paseo de Montejo, and the Museo Fernando García Ponce-Macay. Numerous national parks and nature preserves showcase the region’s beauty including the Reserva de la Biósfera Ría Celestún, the Reserva de la Biósfera Sian Ka'an, and the Parque Nacional Isla Contoy.
