Here are some of my photos from our trip to the Mayan Riviera on the Yucatan Peninsula. If you ever have a chance to go, I highly recommend the area. As it is situated on the Caribbean Sea, it has the clear aqua waters and gorgeous sandy beaches that you associate with the Caribbean island nations, but the food and culture of Mexico. It is a really unique, culturally and ecologically rich area. We had such a wonderful time. These pictures illustrate just some of what the area has to offer: rocky lagoons; colonial-era towns; Mayan archaeological sites (the one pictured below is the largest site, Chichen Itza); and palm-tree dotted white sandy beaches. There are other wonders, natural and not: ceynotes, which are underground lagoons unique to this area; deep-sea fishing; great snorkeling and diving; and of course the lovely people.Â
