The Yucatan Peninsula provides a wealth of cultural treats, but particularly the magnificent Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Edzna and Tulum where you can discover all the secrets of this ancient civilisation. Also worth visiting is the 16th Century colonial city of Vallodolid, the picture postcard Mexican town of Campeche with its cobbled streets and pastel coloured houses, the white City of Merida with its limestone buildings or hop on a boat at Celestun and explore the lagoon.

All the resorts are a beach lover's dream with miles of white sands giving way to sparkling turquoise seas. Cancun is a great family resort with a range of watersports on offer and a number of sheltered areas, bordered by a gorgeous lagoon on one side and the turquoise sea on the other. Cancun's shops have a strong American influence and at night its bars and restaurants burst into neon life. Playacar is a more sophisticated resort, with higher standards of top notch hotels and providing a range of sporting opportunities including diving and golf. The Riviera Maya is dominated by the commercial resorts of Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras, with great beaches and a majority of all inclusive hotels. Tulum is a beautiful up market area with Mayan ruins, drop dead gorgeous scenery, the world's second largest coral reef and fabulous restaurants.

Cancun provides great shopping from American style malls with designer stores to wonderful traditional markets.

A tour of the Mayan ruins is a must and many tours can be organized either pre departure or at your hotel in resort. Diving opportunities are fantastic for the enthusiast, with Tulum boasting the world's second largest coral reef. If its adventure you are looking for, why not try a jungle trek or speeding along the lagoon to the Caribbean sea in your own mini speedboat. Nature's Secret Paradise at Xcaret is an eco–archaeological park with a range of wild animals, including jaguars and sea turtles, all based around a natural coastal inlet.
