The Yucatan Peninsula consists of several Mexican states which I visited two of them. I felt it is best to put all my photos and tips on this page.

The Yucatán Peninsula - Estado de Yucatán

We started this trip with only a hotel reservation for the first night but we had no problems finding rooms during the trip as we drove and spend nights in different places on the Yucatán Peninsula. I have a tip for each hotel we stayed in. I made each of my trip a short story about what we did and saw.

Please take a look what I have so far and come back if you like what you see. I hope everything you see and read is interesting. I tried to make it that way.

So far I have tips for each hotel we stayed in along with some other useful tips. I plan to add more tips, travel logs, photos and stories soon.

Day 1: Cancun Area
Day 2: Cancun Area

I love it how you admit shamelessly that you are a late sleeper. It is actually good sometimes. I went to Tulum after all group tours left and we had it all just for us. I got the best guide (Pek) and he told us many secrets.

Excellent Estado de Yucatán travel page with lots of interesting tourist attractions such as Mayan Ruins, underground water cave, Chichen Itza and Izamal. Thanks for the virtual tour. ~ho & pang

Excellent tips on Yucatan. The Chitchen-Itza is ranked as one of seven new world wonders. Must be surreal to be there. Someone I know saw someone falling over when rushing down the steep steps.
