On the northern coast of the Yucatn Peninsula is a place called Uaymitn, where just a thin strip of land separates the ocean from a swampy coastal lagoon. But the swamp is not just a swampclimbing a roadside tower, you discover it's also home to thousands of flamingos, their bright-pink feathers a stark contrast to the gray-green surroundings. Behind you are the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, a favorite spot for windsurfers and kiteboarders. To the east is a small Maya ruin. To the south is the great colonial city of Mrida, and just down the road is the spot scientists believe a meteor smashed into the earth 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and ushering in the age of humankind. Uaymitn is not a major tourist destinationexcept for the flamingos, it hardly rates a mention. But that's just it: The Yucatn has so much history, culture, and natural wonder, even a dusty roadside town is rich with stories and possibilities.
It's hard to exaggerate the number and variety of attractions here: stunning Maya ruins, vibrant colonial cities, wildlife-watching, a web of caves and underground rivers, and ideal conditions for kiteboarding and sportfishing. For divers, there are world-famous reefs at Isla Cozumel and eerie inland cenotes. And if you're looking for a beach vacation, well, you know you've come to the right place.

The Yucatn is also a place of many stories. Maya hieroglyphics tell complicated tales of gods, kings, and conquest. The exploits of its pirates and buccaneers are still the subject of fairy tales and feature films. The colonial era was rife with the boom and bust of products like henequen and chicle. The Maya have suffered unspeakable exploitation, but not passivelyin the Caste War, they nearly drove European settlers off the peninsula for good. More recent is the remarkable story of Cancn, which in a matter of decades was transformed from a mosquito-infested sandbar into one of the world's top resort destinations.
The Yucatn Peninsula is all this, and even morea place of endless mystery and beauty, fun and fascination. Enjoy!

ONE WEEK: Visit Cancn, Isla Cozumel, or Isla Holbox; take a side trip to Valladolid and the ruins of Chichn Itz.
TEN DAYS: Add Mrida and the Puuc Route; go to Campeche City for a couple of days.
TWO WEEKS: Add Tulum, the Riviera Maya, and Cob ruins; join a one-day excursion in the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve.
THREE WEEKS: Add the Costa Maya, the Ro Bec region, and Palenque.
Cancn has two parts: The Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) has Cancn's top resorts and nightclubs, plus miles of beautiful beaches. But if you don't mind hopping a bus to the beach, downtown has cheaper food and lodging, plus some unexpectedly cool bars and cafs. Most travelers visit Isla Mujeres, a sliver of an island offshore from Cancn, as a day trip, but nice hotels and a mellow ambience make it a tempting place to stay. Isla Holbox is even smaller, with sand roads and virtually no cars. The beaches aren't glorious, but the tranquility is sublime.
Cozumel's pristine coral reefs and crystalline water attract divers the world over; fewer people realize the island also has a scenic national park, numerous beach clubs, a tournament golf course, even an important Maya ruin. Beat the cruise ship crowds by heading to the east side's isolated beaches and dramatic surf. Most people arrive by ferryit's just a half-hour ride from Playa del Carmenbut there's also an airport with international arrivals.

Stretching 130 kilometers (81 miles) from Cancn to Tulum, the Riviera Maya has megaresorts and boutique bed-and-breakfasts, busy cities and quiet villages, great reef diving and amazing cenotes (freshwater sinkholes). Playa del Carmen has the area's largest selection of hotels, food, nightlife, and services; try Puerto Morelos and Akumal for something a bit smaller, or isolated clusters of beachfront hotels like Tankah Tres and Soliman Bay for even more R&R.
Tulum is justly famous for its stunning beaches, eco-chic bungalows, and namesake Maya ruin, with a dramatic view of the Caribbean. An hour away is Cob, boasting the second-tallest Maya pyramid and a lovely forest setting teeming with birds. Directly south of Tulum is the pristine Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve and beyond that the isolated towns of the
