Yucatán, Mexico

Located in the southeast of Mexico, Yucatán has a wealth of pyramidal ruins lurking among the wild undergrowth, a legacy of the ancient Maya civilisation that has left its mark on the Mexican landscape. These ruins are fascinating whether you are a history buff or not, and honestly, there is something for everyone in the region regardless. A number of eco themed parks are thrilling escapes for children, couples can enjoy the buzzing nightlife of the beach towns, and Yucatán’s diverse landscape, encompassing lush jungles, underground rivers and collection of cenotes (natural sinkholes) make for an incredible experience. Mayan and Spanish flavours are bursting out of the cuisine in Yucatán – you must try their traditional Yucatec Mayan cochinita pibil dish.

Best time to visit Yucatán

Yucatán enjoys a tropical climate year-round where temperatures during the day hardly drop below 25oC. The dry season runs from December to April, and you’ll be greeted with near uninterrupted sunshine with the odd passing shower.

Towards the end of the dry season, around May, the humidity and temperature start to rise and between July and September temperatures of 30oC can be experienced. June to November is the official Caribbean hurricane season and while the Yucatán dodges many of the hurricanes that Caribbean islands can often encounter, storms (though rarely destructive) are not uncommon. The silver lining? Whale sharks and dolphins appear off the coast of the region from mid-May to mid-September.
