Mexico overview
The magic of Mexico lies in a dazzling cocktail of ancient and modern, the everyday and the exotic, the simple and the sophisticated. Its sunlit stage spans glorious Caribbean beaches and dense tropical jungles. Cancun, stretched out along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is a true holiday capital; a row of glitzy hotels bounding miles of soft, white sands and twinkling blue waters.Behind Mexico’s exuberant Latin pulse, the Yucatan Peninsula reveals a completely different face; you’ll discover the ancient enigmas and legends of an epic past.
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula offers endless dazzling beaches washed by shimmering Caribbean seas. Cancun, the best-known resort, sits on a 7-shaped belt of land with lagoon waters to the west and the Caribbean to the north and east. Along its eastern and northern edges, powder sands and azure seas beckon whilst the more sheltered northern coast
offers calmer waters perfect for watersports lovers and children. Watersports facilities also focus on the placid waters of the lagoon, which are perfect for canoeing, jetskiing and sailing. Further south, the beaches of Playa del Carmen and Playacar feature sun-bleached sands fringed by resort hotels, beach bars and lush palms and stacked with watersports rentals such as parasailing, deep sea fishing and kayaking.
