Activities
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is famous for beautiful beaches, adventure activities (like scuba diving and zip lining), Mayan ruins, as well as fabulous resorts. Most of the Yucatan Peninsula’s tourism is condensed in the Mexican states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo. The northeast coast of Quintana Roo is Riviera Maya, one of the most popular areas for visitors and where towns like Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are located.
Transportation
By plane Fly in through Cancún, Cozumel, or Mérida. For the best deals, look for charter flight consolidation seats - spare capacity on flights run by package tour operators to Cancún By bus From the west through the Chiapas or Villahermosa states. Buy tickets for long journeys in advance, particularly at busy times such as weekends and public or religious holidays. Grupo ADO/OCC is the major company at near monopoly status operating first and second class buses to/from the area and within the area. Check Ticketbus (their online booking site) for times and prices. Only rule out overnight buses for what you would miss en route. By train There is no remaining passenger train service in the Yucatan Peninsula. After the federal government privatized the railways, most passenger services across the entire nation were discontinued.
Food & Drink
Yucatan cuisine is well known throughout Mexico. Try the traditional Pollo Pibil (tender chicken) and Sopa de Lima (chicken soup with lime juice). Poc chuc is a tender slow cooked pork dish. Chilmole is turkey in a dark spicy sauce. Venison is no longer so common in Yucatan as it was a generation ago, but still sometimes appears on menus and is usually of good quality.
