01 Chichén Itzá · Yucatán
Mayan World Yucatán
Pyramids, cenotes and jungle with a local guide who talks to the villagers.
EXPLORE
I've filmed each place. I've walked it. I know it. Here's what's worth it — and why.
01 — EXPLORE
Not the postcard places. The ones I keep returning to after ten years, because they still take me by surprise.
01 Chichén Itzá · Yucatán
Pyramids, cenotes and jungle with a local guide who talks to the villagers.
02 Yucatán · Quintana Roo
Cenotes off the brochures. The oldest freshwater on the continent.
03 Yucatán coast
Mangrove exploration. Crocodiles, pink flamingos, migratory birds.
04 Puuc Route · Yucatán
The least mass-touristy Mayan city. Better preserved, better explained.
05 Sisal · Yucatán
Table set on the sandbank, turquoise water at your ankles. My signature tour.
06 Yucatán towns
Burning of the bull, processions, local food. The Mexico TripAdvisor never finds.
07 Xinantécatl · Tacaná
Hiking Nevado de Toluca and the Chiapas–Guatemala border.
08 Cancún · Riviera
Full day on the Mexican Caribbean, where blue stops being just a word.
