Welcome to Yucatan

The beginnings and origin of who we are today were born in the land of the Mayas, the Mayan, with the ancient Maya civilization to which we belong and whose ancient heritage fills us with pride.

Humanity in the 21st-century searches to reconnect with ourselves, to become reconciled with nature, and to learn from their peers. We are on a quest to encounter ancient civilizations, new landscapes, new seas, new traditions, new experiences… In YUCATAN we offer the possibility of communion by virtue of our extraordinary heritage, where we have the opportunity to learn, preserve, share and enjoy the cultural, natural, and tourist wealth that we possess. At the start of a new Baktun, or long-count cycle in the Mayan calendar, we offer a myriad of options for recreation, leisure, knowledge, reflection, peace, health, adventure, and coexistence throughout the length and width of the Yucatan… YUCATAN is the land of origins: It is a land where everything begins anew. It is a prodigious land within the reach of travelers from the world over who seek to know and live among a culture that is more live than ever: The Maya Culture. We are heirs of this great wealth, which we should, want, and wish to share with all of you and future generations.

YUCATAN

The Land of Origins, the Land Where Everything Begins Anew … Yucatan is a land of origins because it was here was that the great Maya civilization settled, which carved in stone science and deep knowledge; because it was here that the Earth began a new cycle; and because it is in the Yucatan that we forge ahead to explore the expanses of the Maya World… With magnificent archaeological sites; historical cities of the Colonial Era; attractive natural destinations, such as natural sinkholes, known as cenotes, and caves; a vast cultural heritage expressed through our music, dance, and cuisine; and the great heritage of the traditions and customs of our Maya communities, Yucatan is a tourist destination that offers visitors unique experiences. With differentiated tourism options, world-class services, and with the generosity of our people, Yucatan begins the days of this new Baktun, the new cycle in the Maya calendar, by offering all travelers in the 21st century, not unlike we did to explorers of the 19th century, the unique possibility to marvel at the wealth we possess. We deeply appreciate your interest in Yucatan and we hope that with the material we put into your hands, we entice you to share, promote and package this great tourist destination in Mexico which is Yucatan. But above all, we hope to enchant you to come to know and travel the paths of the land of the Maya, the Mayab.
