Hidden Cancún and the Yucatán : Including Cozumal, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Merida (Hidden Cancun and the Yucatan)

Summary: Great guide for a Yucatecan Adventure!
Review: If your idea of a vacation in Mexico is flying to Cancun and only leaving the Hotel Zone for hours of busrides to and from Mayan Ruins, you don't need a guide.

But if you have any idea what a wonderful spot on earth the Yucatan is, you need to break out from the Hotels and explore. This book and a really good map is just about all you need.

The level of information was perfect. Overviews of different parts of the peninsula, descriptions of major Mayan sites, and enough detail about places to eat and places to stay that you can really find your way around.

Fresh, usable, and very helpful. Take it with you, rent a car, and just GO!

Summary: Not up to date
Review: We just returned from the Yucatan and using Hidden Cancun. We found much of it was not up to date. I think the author visited 25 years ago, revisited a few sites recently and used much from his previous visit without checking it out throughly. We did not think this was a good traveling book.
