Mariordo


Some of the world’s most famous ruins can be found in this expansive, steamy lowland peninsula covering the southern Mexican states of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo (as well as, many people don’t realise, northern Belize and the Guatemalan state of Petén, home to Tikal). The “Big Three”, Chichén Itzá, Tulum, and Uxmal, are celebrated for a reason.  But if you’re particularly fascinated, as I am, with the Mundo Maya, you’ll want to add several more days to your visit here, as there dozens more ravishing ruins - many of them within an hour or two of tourist destinations such as Yucatan capital Mérida, as well as holiday meccas Cancún and the Riviera Maya.
