What to do in Yucatan?

• Travel to the capital, Mérida: Oh yes! You have to visit the most important city in the state, the 'White City. Merida is famous for being the safest area in the country, having deeply rooted traditions and delicious food. So we suggest that you take the gastronomic tours that usually last 3 to 4 hours, visiting the street carts or small premises, in the surroundings of Parque Hidalgo. Get ready to enjoy tamales, seafood tacos, panuchos and juicy cochinita pibil, which is a slow-roasted pork dish. After this, you will understand why we say that Yucatan has one of the best dishes in the country.

On the other hand, you have the option of taking a 'city tour' to know about the important monuments and buildings, as well as the famous Paseo Montejo which is considered the main road and has French influence. You will not need a visit to the Monument to the Fatherland and a stop at the Government Palace.

• Tours of the Yucatecan beaches: It is worth mentioning that whatever beach you go to, you will find that it is a true oasis as they all have turquoise waters and fine white sand. As a first option, we suggest you travel to Playa Progreso or Playa Chicxulub located just 35-40 minutes from the capital. Here you will find places where you can read a book in peace and areas with a lively atmosphere and music that will make you dance with a beautiful sunset.

If you are looking for an exotic beach with the best scenery you can find, we suggest you take a tour to Celestun. You will usually find departures from Merida to get to this Biosphere Reserve. Here you will be able to swim in its crystalline waters, observe elegant flamingos, reptiles and more than 300 species of birds! To say that it is a beautiful spectacle is an understatement. In our opinion, this visit should be a must on your trip.

• Guided tours to the Mayan ruins: Starting with this sector, we have to tell you that to visit all the Mayan ruins in Yucatan you should set aside 2 to 3 days just for this, since in the peninsula you will find the largest number of archaeological sites, for example, you will find guided tours to Uxmal and Kabah, two of the most important ancient cities of the peninsula. For this, you will travel to the Puuc area where you will learn about the history, culture and even gastronomy with touches of the past.

If you don't have much time to visit all the ruins, we suggest you choose Chichen Itza, since it is considered one of the 7 new wonders of the world (when you are there, you will understand why). This guided tour is available any day of the week, and the guide will tell you all about its temples and ceremonial centres.

We suggest you go when there is a light and sound show, an impressive spectacle where the legends of the sacred book of the Mayas - the Popol Vuh, will be told. If you are travelling with children, this activity is one hundred percent recommended.

• Tours through the towns of the peninsula: Yucatán offers more than beautiful beaches. Visit Yucatán's Magical Towns such as Valladolid, where you will find many walking tours. You will see the Church of San Servacio, the Central Plaza and the Franciscan Convent from San Bernardino, located in the Barrio el Sisal. We also suggest you visit Cuzamá where, in addition to picturesque streets, you will find cenotes that will captivate your gaze with the mystery that surrounds them.

Yucatán is synonymous with natural beauty, legends, culture and a thousand traditions, which makes it even more attractive for any tourist not only internationally, but also for Mexicans.

Visit this jewel and discover each of the Mayan treasures that it has to offer. Explore its cenotes, the caves and paradisiacal beaches, your vacations will be the envy of all.
