They’ll steer you away from the touristy and the inauthentic, and show you the real heart of Mexico's Mayan homeland. Let them take you to charming colonial towns, lovely beach resorts, ancient ruins, traditional villages, and natural wonders, from the glitz of Canc?n's hotel scene, to the mysterious ruins of Ek Balam. You’ll travel the Yucat?n like a pro with our candid advice and handy Spanish-language glossary. Also included are accurate regional and town maps (including site plans of the major ruins), up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, a free color fold-out map, and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!
