Cancun, Mexico
As Mexico's most modern Caribbean resort, Cancun boasts attractive beaches, luxurious hotels, excellent weather, and a central location close to Mayan ruins.

Merida, Mexico
Being centrally located, Merida is a practical hub to explore all of the splendors of the Yucatan Peninsula. Merida depicts much of the splendor of Colonial Mexico. The Spanish Conquistador Francisco de Montejo founded Merida in 1542 on the site of a former Mayan city he destroyed. Cut off from the rest of Mexico for many years because of the difficulty in communicating by train and highway, the Yucatecans became somewhat independent, having more contact with European and US Gulf Coast cities and life-styles.
Splendid regional dishes and traditional music and dances local to this region are found in restaurants, theatres and shops housed in palatial mansions along Paseo de Montejo - a boulevard fashioned after Paris' Champs Elysée.

Palenque, Mexico
The Palenque Ruins are impressive indeed, particularly the Pyramid of the Inscriptions, where a large sarcophagus was found, containing the mummified remains of the Lord Pakal. The site's many temples, with fantastic comb-like decorations on their intact roofs, and the sculptured wall panels, are undoubtedly amongst the most exquisite achievements of the Maya. The surrounding jungle growth and its bird life are sure to be as fascinating as the ruins.
