Yet where Mexico narrows at its border with Guatemala, the Yucat n curves north and, geographically, the entire peninsula is actually farther north than Acapulco. The cities of Canc£n and M‚rida are at more northern latitudes than Mexico City, and Miami is a mere 684 miles (1,102 km) away.
So why is the Yucat n considered so remote? Well, like many regions around the world, its development (or lack thereof) can be traced to its geography. It has been - and in many ways, still is - not easily accessible by land. Thick jungles and high mountains in Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico, and swampy lowlands in neighboring Tabasco always limited overland routes. Decent roads into the area were not built until as late as the 1970s. Before that, most commerce and travel was by ship and then later by air. Much of what the Spanish conquistadors found physically on the peninsula in the 1500s you can still find there today. (Sorry, but as they found out the hard way, there's no gold - unless you count the jewelry worn by the guests at Canc£n's expensive resorts.)
