    • El Garrafón Natural Park
      The word paradise springs to mind on entering the stunning Garrafón Natural Park, situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking transparent turquoise waters.
    • Cozumel
      Cozumel is the largest island in Mexico (28 miles by ten miles), situated just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, lapped by the Caribbean sea and surrounded by fantastic coral reefs.
    • Xcaret
      Self-labelled as "eco-archaeological", Xcaret is probably best descibed as a natural theme park. Encompassing beaches, butterfly houses, a coral reef aquarium and an underground river excursion, it is geared more towards families than those seeking seclusion. Its picturesque qualities, however, can't be denied.
    • El Zócalo
      In the middle of the historic district of Mexico City is the Plaza de la Constitución, nicknamed El Zócalo. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was the centre of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán, with its ceremonial area just to the north. Every day the city's heritage is relived with conchero dancers in feathered headdresses dancing to the beat of drums.
    • Yucatan's Caves and Cenotes
      It was not until three centuries after the arrival of the Spanish that the great question of how the Mayan civilisation could have flowered in the Yucatan was finally answered. How could this flat and riverless plain ever have supported the growth of the huge city states whose ruins lie scattered upon it now? The answer is found in the cenote (pronounced sen-o-tay).
