The Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico

Where is one of the most popular foreign destinations for Americans?  Mexico!  Americans love Mexico because of its wonderful weather, great places to visit, and great exchange rate.  Here are some highlights of The Yucatan Peninsula.

Cancun
Cancun is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mexico.  They cater to American vacationers.   
You don't have to be fluent in Spanish-most of the service staff speaks English fluently. 
The gorgeous white quartz sand of Cancun's beaches are great for reading that book you have or relaxing and enjoying the water.
Shopping is available in Cancun, with a large variety of stores and restaurants. 
The hotels are large and "Americanized" to help you to enjoy your trip even more. 
If you enjoy the water, then you will find lots to do in Cancun.  From parasailing, banana rides, and jet skis-you are sure to find a fun activity that you will love!
If you are a history or archeology buff, you will love the Mayan ruins.  .

Cozumel
If you enjoy scuba diving, you will love Cozumel.  This city on the Yucatan Pensinsula rivals Northern Australia's Great Barrier Reef. 
Clear water and multiple dive sites makes it easy to learn how to scuba dive if you have never done it before.  Make sure that you choose a certified diving instructor to teach you. 
History buffs will love the Mayan ruins!
Bull fights are a great cultural experience for you to take in.  Keep in mind that they are more graphic and bloody than you may think, but the experience may be worth it. 
Taking a bike tour around Cozumel would be fun too.  Most tours are in English and move leisurely for maximum enjoyment. 
Deep sea fishing would be a fun activity too.  You can also take your catch home on dry ice!
If you like archeology and adventure, take a guided jungle tour.  Just be sure to take along your bug repellant!

Chichen Itza
The famous pyramids will take you back to Mayan rituals and times.  This is what many people think of when they imagine Mexico. 
Don't miss the historical tours!  They are full of education, fascination, and exercise as you get to climb the sides of the temples!  They are worth the expense. 
Take a drive to Chichen Itza.  You will get to see the real landscape and the small local villages and soak up the real Mexico. 
If you are looking for a souvenir, then you will be in the right place.  With all of the open-air markets and indoor malls, you will be sure to find something to commemorate your trip. 

You will have a wonderful time on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and you will definitely not run out of things to do.  Just remember to skip the water and get drinks with no ice!
