Yucatan

Yucatán is the name of one of the 31 states of Mexico, located on the north of the Yucatán Peninsula. The term The Yucatán refers to the three states on the peninsula: Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo; all three modern states were formerly part of the larger historic state of Yucatán in the 19th century. The state capital of Yucatán is Mérida.

The State of Yucatán is located in the north of the Yucatán Peninsula. It borders the states of Campeche to the southwest, Quintana Roo to the east and southeast, and the Gulf of Mexico to the north and west. As a whole, the state is extremely flat with little or no topographic variation. The exception are the Puuc hills, located in the southern portion of the state.

The Yucatan Peninsula is Mexico’s most popular travel destination. Year-round weather that averages 80 degrees, a huge variety of resorts, and thousands of years of fascinating history draw visitors to the Yucatan Peninsula, especially in December through April.

Beyond the Yucatan Peninsula’s sand, sun, and sea and the activities they inspire, are malls, many different kinds of restaurants, and lively discos.
