The northeastern coast of the peninsula is a spot that is popular for world-class diving.

Yucatan is not typical of Mexico. For example you will not find any arid areas there in which only cacti can grow. The peninsula is full of life and it is also immensely rich in fauna and flora. The evergreen forests are deep and in the southern part of the peninsula, which is quite a mountainous area, where they make a beautiful backdrop for the lakes, the blue and green cascades, the waterfalls, the deep canyons and, above all the impressive Mayan ruins.
The Mayans lived in this area 2,000 years before our time. Until only a fraction of the ancient cities have been uncovered, and the significance of many artifacts is still being explored.

Amongst The most significant Mayan ruins include Chichen Itza and Palenque.
