The Yucatan Peninsula juts north into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, boasting 700 miles of coastline. It is 76,300 square miles in size and is home to parts of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. The region is diverse and the climate varies from hot and dry in the North to cooler temperatures in the South. The peninsula was never completely colonized by the Spanish, so there is a diverse mix of races, as well.

The Yucatan Peninsula is the most popular travel destination in Mexico. Its particularly rich culture and history, and warm climate makes it a great vacation spot. The land is dotted with Mayan ruins and archaeological sites such as Tulum, Coba and Chichen Itza that make for fantastic exploration and adventures.

This peninsula is quite different from the other parts of Mexico. It tends to be more tranquil, and the way of life is a bit more relaxed. Mayan and colonial life intermixes on the peninsula, but the Mayan legacy creates a unique world to explore and admire.
