Latin America
Latin America is a vast region of ancient civilisations, Caribbean beaches and colourful colonial towns. For now, our guides focus on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, one of the easiest parts of the region to explore. Visit the Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, spend a day at the eco-park Xcaret with underground rivers and cultural shows, and relax in Tulum, where Mayan ruins stand on a cliff above the Caribbean Sea. Each guide includes tips on tickets, opening hours and the best time to visit.
