USER RATING
Harken back to the life of the Maya and the Spanish colonial days. Tour the 16th-century cathedral in Mérida, built from the stones of the Mayan city that was defeated on the same spot. Buy a hammock made from the fiber of the henequen plant in the Mérida market. Cross the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula to see the pyramids and temples of the 9th-century Mayan city of Chichén Itzá. Then spend two days sunning on the soft sands of Playa del Carmen.
