Live an adventure in the Yucatecan Coast

Discovering the beauty of Mexico’s nature

Yucatan has an interesting story which has ancient origins, and that is precisely why we consider it one of the most beautiful states of Mexico, which turns every trip into an amazing adventure. This state hides places of great beauty along its territory, and an example of it are its beautiful beaches.

So take note, because here we’ll share some of them with you, and we are sure you’ll want to pack your bags to travel to this quiet paradise.

1.- Chelem

This beautiful fishing port is located near Merida City, west to Progreso Port. Here, you will forget about the big hotels and enjoy a picturesque village with small streets; you will soak up the sun while swimming in its quiet beaches. If you want a little more adventure, you can take a boat tour through its estuary and discover the waterhole, as well as several species of birds that inhabit the mangroves.

2.- San Crisanto

This fishing village has one of the most beautiful beaches in the state, which is surrounded by natural sites such as “Cenote Bravo or “Dzonot-Tzik.' Something that characterizes this beach is that every evening, the sea recedes up to 300 feet resulting in a unique place to watch the sunset and camp to spend the night beneath the stars. This beautiful place is located 32 miles from Progreso, on the road leading to the villages of Uaymitún and Telchac.

Located on a small sand strip on the coast of Yucatan, Uaymitun is the perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend, whether you decide to sunbathe on the sand or enjoy swimming among its blue waters.

5.-Dzilam de Bravo 

This port is located at the end of the road Tizimin-Dzidzantun and is one of the most beautiful places in Yucatan.
