  • Yucatán, México is one of the best states in the country for travel. There's delicious cuisine, breathtaking cenote swimming holes, ancient Maya cities, laid-back beaches, flamingo watching, and so much more!
    The Yucatan Peninsula is comprised of the Mexican states of Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo, as well as some portions of Belize and Guatemala. This video is about the state specifically, as a video on the whole peninsula would take a lot longer. After spending months living in and traveling around Yucatan, here are 7 places/things you should not miss when planning your trip to this paradise in Mexico!

    Thanks for watching, amigos! :)
    Quick note: the Cenote at 12:15 is actually called "Cenote Tza-Ujun-Kat", my brain kind of spazzed on that one! :) Saludos!

    I love this video. We have a home being built in the Yucatán and I can’t wait to get down there to experience more of the cenotes and Pueblo Magicos. We have been to several of the sites you highlighted, it makes me want to go back sooner than later. ❤️❤️

      @@laurenandseth we toured Chiapas, Veracruz, and CDMX first. Last year was Puebla and surrounding Puebla's, Oaxaca then the beach cities huatulco, zipolite and Puerto Escondido then CDMX.
      This winter was to be the Yucatan but my wife is having mobility issues.
      I guess I wore her out...

    Great video! I fell in love with Merida & the Yucatan state in 2018 and we go every chance we can! While we're home in Texas, I watch all the travel vlogs I can find 😂. I also would love to visit Campeche and the Calakmul ruins one day, but I think the Yucatan will always be my favorite place on earth as well!! Thanks for sharing!

    • @laurenandseth

      Thanks a lot! I haven’t been to Calakmul yet either, can’t wait to check it out.
      Haha, I can relate on watching the travel vlogs. I’m either traveling or living vicariously through someone who is 😂 Cheers!

    Im from California and I just went to Yucatán for the first time 2 weeks ago. It was amazing i loved it and its where my grandpa was born and raised so it was really special for me to go there to learn more about my maya yucateco roots! Cant wait to go back i was only there for 1 week so theres so much i didnt get to see but i stayed in Mérida, I went to Chichén Itzá, Dzibilchaltún, Progreso, El Corchito, Valladolid, el cenote Saamal, el cenote in the Costco parking lot lol, El Gran Museo Maya,....the food was amazing! I loved it and i cant wait to go back!

    I have been searching Mexico for a couple of years. I believe that both of you did a great job for me. You chose to tell this story like men. You told your facts after facts after facts. Nearly No fluff included. I really like this.
    I liked, and have now commented. I hope you continue this format, unless you're telling a story.

    Nice info! The two of you have been traveling a similar journey as we have! You were in Granda and other parts of NIcaragua at the same time we were, and we JUST released a video on some of the same area of Yucatan! Anyway -best of luck and we hope to cross paths sometime! We are in Playa del Carmen now and will be somewhere on this peninsula for at least a month or two more.

    Muy de acuerdo(totally agree)! Ek Balam is fantastic. If you're staying in Valladolid and have time for only one, chose Ek Balam over Chichén Itzá. That said, the latter is really incredible, just arrive as early as possible to beat the crowds. Will be there in a few weeks! Izamal is definitely worth a visit. I stayed at an airbnb right across the street from Kinich Kakmó, the Mayan pyramid on the edge of town. Great also is the Centro Cultural y Artesanal(and it has AC!).

    I really didn't like Valladolid, I found it very cheesy and touristy and a bit of a rip off, I really enjoyed a month in Merida despite being a bit of an American retirement place, lovely city but a month was enough, really lovely people in Merida and very different to opportunistic Valladolid, great job with the video, exactly a year ago I was there, great memories!

    Naah, I i lived there for 20 years , all looks awesome , but that is the tourist side , the real side is the south of Merida , where the working class lives , stop out pricing the locals when you go live there , earn in Pesos you’ll see is not as fun as they say .
