 Capital:
Merida
State Population: 1,555,733
Description:
The state of Yucatan is home to some of the most
famous and impressive Maya ruins, Chichen Itza, Tulum, and
Uxmal. The huge collection of pyramids, temples, and shrines
at both of these locations makes for a truly awe inspiring
experience.
The state of Yucatan is located in the northern center of
the Yucatan peninsula. The entire peninsula is one of Mexico's
most popular tourist destinations - with Cancun and Cozumel
being located in the neighboring state of Quintana Roo.
While in Yucatan, the traveler should certainly visit the
Capital Merida. Merida was one of the first Spanish colonial
cities, and the colonial architecture creates a distinctive
European feel.
