The Yucatan peninsula in Mexico offers stunning cenotes (fresh water sinkholes), vibrant cities, colonial towns, and rich Maya ruins in the jungle or along the coast, not to forget the delicious Mexican food, probably the best one in Central America.

Best regards from far, 
great post! 🙂
Thanks! Happy you find it useful 🙂
Oh this is a good summarized view of how we can do Yucatan. Are there other major pyramids besides Uxmal and Chichen Itza?
Yes Mel & Suan, in Yucatán, you can also visit the temple of Tulum, the only maya temple overlooking the Caribbean Sea. And there are others on the Yucatán peninsula but in Guatemala: Tikal & El Mirador. We wrote about all these and you can find photos on this website to give you a better idea of the sites.
Yeah we are thinking of starting from Mexico city and end in the Yucatan. Tulum was in consideration once when we were on the cruise but it was too far and the ship did not offer it. Some day we’d do Honduras, Belieze and Guatemala, but we’ll go for Mexico first!
Very nice! A few years ago I went by land from Yucatan to Mexico City. Palenque and San Cristobal de las Casas were my favourites! Have a good trip!!
