MAYAN TEMPLE TULUM, YUCATAN PENINSULA, MEXICO
In the year 1518 members of the first Spanish expeditionary force were sailing along the coast when, to their astonishment, they discovered a city: "so large that we could not have thought the city of Seville itself to be larger or finer....We saw a very tall tower..." At this period TULUM was still a bustling, densely populated city. Today the fortified city only comes to life at certain times, from 7am to 5pm daily. (FOTO: DUKAS/MICHAEL FRIEDEL)

BEACH OF PLAYA DEL CARMEN, RIVIERA MAYA, YUCATAN PENINSULA, MEXICO
RIVIERA MAYA and COSTA MAYA are new names for holiday areas along the coast of QUINTANA ROO. Deserted, unspoilt beaches alternate with large, ultra-modern tourist developments. In PLAYA DEL CARMEN, on the RIVIERA MAYA, a mixture of large hotel complexes and numerous individual hotels has grown up. Knut Wehner writes about the unique holiday attraction of the Yucatán, which blends Mayan culture with the essence of the Caribbean.

SOUVENIR SHOP, COZUMEL ISLAND, YUCATAN, MEXICO
COZUMEL, the island where it all began. Since 1927 it has had regular air connections with the USA. In the mid-1950s the first hotel was opened and in the 1960s the cruise-ships arrived. By the early 1970s international tourism was well on its way. In recent years COZUMEL has become the capital of Caribbean cruising, with moorings for 9 ships at a time, or over 800 per year.

CHICHÉN ITZÁ, PYRAMID OF KUKULKÁN, YUCATAN PENINSULA, MEXICO
CHICHÉN ITZÁ and its pyramid of KUKULKÁN (the Plumed Serpent). The 24m (79 ft) high pyramid conceals a deep cosmic symbolism. Twice a year, at the equinox, it is the scene of a phenomenon that was only discovered 20 years ago: the form of a snake which, in the shifting pattern of light and shade, appears to wriggle down the pyramid, ending at a stone serpent's head.
