Highlights

Dig deep into ancient Mayan history at the Uxmal, Chichén Itzá and Tulúm ruins, delve into Mexican culture though the food, markets and artisans of Merida and explore the wilds in underground sinkholes and at the UNESCO world heritage site of Sian Ka'an Biosphere with a naturalist

The top of Uxmal’s grand pyramid rewards you with a breathtaking view. This is what you came to Mexico for—the side of the Yucatan you can’t see from behind a resort’s wall. You’re here to dig deeper and discover the region’s rich archeological and cultural wonders. Fill up on local delicacies and rich culture in Mérida but save space on your camera’s memory card for the region’s white-sand beaches. From the majesty of Chichén Itzá to the ruins at Tulúm, connect with a side of Mexico few travelers get to know.
