First stop is Boca Paila, a fabulous beach, and the place where the canal through the mangroves from Muyil reaches the sea. Head south along the bumpy road (watch out for potholes) until you reach Punta Allen. On the shores of Asunci\u00f3n Bay, this fishing village is the gateway to a natural wonderland of mangroves and wetlands filled with birds, lagoons where dolphins, manatee and crocodiles swim and the offshore coral reefs. Bird watching, diving, snorkeling and fishing trips are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/uxmal.jpg\" alt=\"Uxmal\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/uxmal.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/uxmal-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/uxmal-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/uxmal-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uxmal\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An hour\u2019s drive south of M\u00e9rida, lies one of the architectural jewels of the Maya World: Uxmal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The skyline is dominated by the Magician\u2019s Pyramid, a temple shrouded in legend. The Nuns\u2019 Quadrangle, a courtyard surrounded by four palaces is famous for the artistry of its stucco facades. The Palace of the Governor and the Great Pyramid look down on the site from the top of a hill crowned by an ancient manmade platform. El Palomar, Temple of the Birds, the Ball Court and the House of the Turtles are other buildings of note. If you decide to stay the night in one of the nearby hotels be sure to return to Uxmal in the evening for the video mapping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/xoximilco.jpg\" alt=\"Xoximilco\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/xoximilco.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/xoximilco-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/xoximilco-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/xoximilco-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xoximilco<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How about a floating Mexican fiesta this month?

There are so many cenotes that you literally could spend the day cenote hopping. With names like Verde Lucero, Las Mojarras, Boca del Puma, Kin Ha, La Noria and Siete Bocas, they evoke days of mystery and adventure. Some lie deep in caves and others are open to the sky and they all have turquoise or emerald waters. Try your hand at zip lining too in adventure parks like Selvatica and Xenotes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thomasmoretravel.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas More Travel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is your guide to the Mexican Caribbean and the Yucatan whenever you want to explore this world of wonders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s our monthly gallery showcasing some of the region\u2019s many natural and historical attractions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":64260,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[666],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-may-2022"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
