Visitors to Yucatán as well as armchair travelers and researchers will greatly enhance their experience with the help of our two recent publications on the region:
EXPLORING YUCATAN, a collection of fascinating classic travel narratives in one volume - from the 1500s to the present day - the ideal reader for the Yucatan aficionado, and perfect companion guide to MAYA MISSIONS.
The newly updated second edition of MAYA MISSIONS, our acclaimed guidebook to colonial Yucatan. Both books are available at a discount online.
Yucatán aficionados may be interested in Yucatán Passages, a new, large format photo essay by Robert Hansen, with evocative black and white pictures of life in Yucatán and southern Mexico, including Mayan and colonial monuments, haciendas and, of course, the Maya themselves.
Explore the hidden corners of Yucatan with Bruce and June Conord's readable and informative guidebooks to Yucatan. Highly recommended. top
