Description:

The peninsula of Mexico that juts eastward and upwards into the Caribbean is probably the most popular visitor destination in all of Latin America; it certainly is our best-selling map of any part of Mexico! Historically, it was the centre of the wonderful Mayan civilization, the remains of which are still easily visited in Mexican, Belician, and Guatemalan portions of the great Yucatan. Touristically, it is a magnet for sun-lovers, with the Cancun area in particular being a massive concentration of resort hotels The area south of Playa del Carmen and the nearby island of Cozumel are also touristic magnets.
