The answer is found in the cenote (pronounced sen-o-tay).]]> 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.]]> 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 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.]]> 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.

Less keen swimmers, meanwhile, cannot fail to be bowled over by the park's natural beauty.]]> The Dolores Olmedo Patiño Museum in Xochimilco houses the most important private collection of artwork by Diego Rivera. As well as 137 works by the famous Mexican muralist and painter, there are 25 notable works by Frida Kahlo, 43 by Angelina Beloff, and an extensive collection of Pre-Hispanic pieces and Mexican folk art.]]> Tulum, or the "City of Dawn", is the Yucatan Peninsula's most popular Mayan archaeological site, and deservedly so. Clamber through the narrow stone arch entrance and the ruins of an entire city greet you.]]>
