Hotels in Yucatan Mexico

The Experience

The Yucatan Peninsula is possibly the best Mexican destination for tourists who wish to immerse themselves in the richness of Mexico's history and culture. The region, which comprises the states of Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo, is well known for its numerous Mayan archeological sites. Many of the ancient traditions of the Mayas persist; for example, many women wear a traditional blouse called a huipil, and some homes are still built with straw rooftops. There are also the regional henequen haciendas, many of which have been converted into posh hotels. And then there are the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea that wash onto white-sand beaches, where you'll find world-class hotels. You can also visit Mexico's hidden treasure, Campeche, a historic fortified city declared a World Heritage site. Nearby Campeche are archeological zones Edzna and Calakmul, the latter forming part of the biggest biosphere reserve in the country.
