The Yucatan Peninsula is quite
different from the rest of Mexico. A distinct change is noticeable in the landscape,
people and architecture as one crosses into the remoteness of the Mayan realm.
The atmosphere is more relaxed and tranquil and the legacy of an ancient people
is evident in the scattering of ruins within the encroaching jungle. It is an
area famed for its white sand beaches, magnificent off-shore coral reefs and
diving opportunities on the Caribbean coast, as well as for the region's
splendid ruins: the extraordinary Mayan temples and ceremonial centers of an
ancient kingdom.
The peninsula is an area of great
diversity, from tropical jungle and rainforest, flat and hot countryside dotted
with Mayan villages, a superb coastline with popular resorts and islands,
numerous archaeological sites, and colonial towns. Once distant and inaccessible,
tourism has made determined advances into the Yucatan Peninsula, especially
around the major places of interest, like the Mayan sites of Chichen Itza and
Uxmal, and along the most visited stretch of the coast incorporating the 'party
resort' of Cancun and the islands of Cozumel and Isla Mujeres. These resorts
and islands have become highly sought-after package tour destinations with
renowned vacation facilities. The traditions, religious beliefs and ancient
customs of today's Mayan culture are still a natural part of the Yucatan's
character and appeal, although the culture has become somewhat commercialized
in certain areas.
The Yucatan Peninsula is serviced by
regular first and second-class bus services that connect Merida to Cancun and
the Caribbean coast along Highway 180, via Chichen Itza. Frequent buses also
travel along the coast between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Taxis are the
preferred way to get around most of the resort areas, and can also be hired to
visit nearby sites, although several tours are offered to the main sites of interest
on the peninsula or the islands. There are also frequent ferry services to the
islands of Cozumel and Mujeres.
