Holbox is a small friendly island that is part of the exquisite Natural Reserve of Yum Balam of Mexico. This little -known and remarkably virgin destination sees very few foreign visitors and has only been found on the tourist map due to its excellent possibilities for observing birds and marine life. Visitors can enjoy relaxing on pristine white sand beaches, exploring sand streets surrounded by colorful Caribbean buildings, and incredible bird observation with more than 50 species of birds residing in the area, including large flocks of pelicans, flamingos, herons, pink teaspoons and many more. Ballena sharks and sea turtles are also frequently seen in the waters surrounding this idyllic small island.
Located in the Yucatan Peninsula, in the southeast section of the state of Yucatan, the small colonial city of Valladolid is one of the "magical peoples" of Mexico, a label assigned to peoples with natural beauty, cultural wealth or a notable historical meaning. The narrow cobbled streets of this small and charming city are lined with beautiful buildings of little height of pastel colors and several interesting attractions for visitors. These include, among others: the Bernardino de Siena, an ancient convent and church of the fifteenth century located in a beautiful park; a beautiful city square, surrounded by beautiful colonial -style buildings; and the San Roque Museum, which exhibits a variety of fascinating Mayan and colonial artifacts. Valladolid also serves as an excellent basis to explore a series of nearby Mayan ruins and cenotes, such as Chichén Itzá, Ek Balam, Coba, Cenotes Xkeken and Samula.
Throughout the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Riviera Maya is one of the most popular tourist regions in Mexico. This stretch of 130 kilometers of spectacular coast extends from the tourist city of Cancun in the north to the Mayan ruins of Tulum in the south. The area is famous for its long white sand beaches bathed by the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and surrounded by world -class hotel complexes and boutique hotels. While travelers looking for tranquility can explore the jungle and the dreamy towns of fishermen, those who seek to enter the action can go to Playa del Carmen, a vibrant tourist city with some of the best stores, restaurants and nightlife that Mexico has to offer. In the area you can practice activities such as snorkeling, diving, aquatic motorcycles, zip lines, horseback riding and swimming in cenotes.
