Highlights
Choice: wide selection of resorts and boutique hotels
History: ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Tulum are well worth exploring. Chicken Itza has remarkably preserved ruins of one of the most powerful Mayan cities on the peninsula. The ruins of the walled city of Tulum date back to 1200-1500AF and are perched above white sands and aquamarine waters.
Culture: Mexico City is exciting and has plenty to discover
Food: regional cuisine is diverse
Los Cabos: this Pacific coast resort has beautiful bays and beaches
Underwater wonders: the waters between Cancun and Isla Mujeres off the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula offer an underwater paradise of magnificent reefs, pristine coral gardens, freshwater caverns and wrecks as well as the world’s largest underwater sculpture museum. Whale sharks, dolphins and turtles are just some of the incredible marine life that can be spotted here.
Weather and when to go
On Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, December to April is the dry season, with a wetter season from May to November. Central Mexico – including Mexico City – has very small seasonal changes while rainfall usually falls between the months of June and October. June to November is the hurricane season throughout the Caribbean.
