Hotels in Yucatan, Mexico

Yucatan is a Mexican state on the Yucatan Peninsula, famous for ancient Maya ruins like Chichen Itza and thousands of cenotes-natural sinkholes perfect for swimming. The climate is hot year-round, averaging 80°F (27°C), with a dry season from November to April ideal for exploring the Pyramid of Kukulkan without rain, and a wet season from May to October offering cheaper prices for kayaking in the crystal-clear waters of Cenote Ik Kil. You can snorkel in the Caribbean at the port of Progreso during the dry winter, or visit the colonial city of Merida for its Saturday markets and free concerts when the summer rains cool things down.
