During our trip, we explored Yucatán mainly between Valladolid, Chichén Itzá and the coast near Río Lagartos.

This guide therefore focuses primarily on the Mexican state of Yucatán for the time being, rather than the entire peninsula.

In it, you’ll find our experiences of the places we visited, tips on accommodation and transport, and advice on what’s worth booking in advance.

We’ll help you decide which Mayan ruins, cenotes and natural sites are worth visiting, and how to plan your itinerary without unnecessary travel.
