Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

Maya pyramids, turquoise cenotes and colonial towns painted every color of the sunset, all an easy flight from most US cities. Best from November to April.

Latin America

November to April

Why we love it

The Yucatán packs a lot into a short trip. Mornings at Maya cities like Chichén Itzá and Ek' Balam, afternoons swimming in cenotes, evenings on the plaza in Valladolid or Mérida with a plate of cochinita pibil.

When to go

November to April brings dry, warm days and cooler nights. Summer is hotter and wetter, but quieter and kinder on the budget.

Good to know

  • Most visitors fly into Cancún or Mérida.
  • Pack reef-safe sunscreen; many cenotes require it.
  • Start ruins early to beat the heat and the tour buses.
