    YUCATÁN: ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN’T MISS

    by Royal Holiday Club 14 March, 2025
    written by Royal Holiday Club

    If you’re planning to visit the beautiful beaches of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Cozumel, you’ll be close to another destination that you cannot miss: the wonderful state of Yucatán.

    Just a couple of hours away from the Caribbean coast, this state is rich in culture, history, and unique natural beauty. Today, we’ll share with you all the great things you can’t miss in Yucatán.

    From ancient Mayan ruins to crystal-clear cenotes and delicious food, Yucatán offers an exceptional experience that will complement your beach vacation.

     

     

     

    MÉRIDA: A COLONIAL MASTERPIECE

    mérida

    Mérida, the capital of Yucatán, is also known as the “White City” due to its limestone-based architecture and its warm, welcoming environment.

    Visit the historic downtown and stop by the beautiful Saint Ildefonso Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Mexico, and the Government Palace with its French-style mansions, perfect for a nice evening stroll.

    In Mérida, you’ll also be able to enjoy free performances of Yucatecan music in the Plaza Principal and try some of the most exquisite Mexican dishes like Cochinita Pibil and Panuchos at local markets and traditional restaurants.

     

     

     

    CHICHÉN ITZÁ AND UXMAL: JOURNEY TO THE PAST

    CHICHÉN ITZÁ

    If there’s one archaeological site in Yucatán you can’t miss, it’s undoubtedly Chichén Itzá. This wonder of the world will leave you breathless with the stunning Kukulkán Pyramid, the Ball Court, and the Temple of the Warriors.

    Try to visit early in the morning to avoid large crowds and intense heat. This archaeological masterpiece is located halfway between Cancun and Mérida, making it a perfect day trip.

    Another fascinating archaeological site is Uxmal, one of the gems of the Puuc Route. This Mayan city, located south of Mérida, is known for its famous Pyramid of the Magician, the Nunnery Quadrangle, and the Governor’s Palace.

     

     

     

    THE HACIENDAS OF YUCATÁN: HISTORY AND A LUXURIOUS PLACE TO STAY

    The ancient henequen haciendas of Yucatán are a testament to the region’s economic prosperity during the 19th century. If you’re looking for a unique experience during your trip, exploring these henequen estates is a great option. Many of them have been restored and turned into beautiful hotels, spas, and restaurants, offering one-of-a-kind experiences surrounded by nature.

    Among the standout haciendas, you’ll find Hacienda Temozón, Hacienda Santa Rosa, and Hacienda Sotuta de Peón. At these locations, you can learn about the traditional process of producing henequen, as well as enjoy a ride on a traditional rail cart.

     

     

     

    THE CENOTES: HIDDEN PARADISE

    cenotes

    Yucatán, the Cancun area, and the Riviera Maya are known for their beautiful natural cenotes—deep freshwater wells formed by the collapse of underwater caverns. Cenotes are perfect for swimming, diving, or simply relaxing while surrounded by nature.

    Some of the most impressive cenotes include the Ik Kil cenote, near Chichén Itzá; the Cuzamá cenotes, which you can visit while enjoying a ride on a picturesque cart; and the X’keken cenote, where you’ll get to admire impressive stalactites.

    Make the most of your trip to the Mexican Caribbean and explore these incredible places. Yucatán has something great for everyone—come visit this beautiful destination! Explore the Mexican Caribbean with Royal Holiday Club!
