This new edition continues to keep tabs on the swiftly shifting restaurant, hotel and recreational sports scene in Cancun, Mexico's most visited tourist destination, as well as those in the popular port of call Cozumel. Soak up the sun, wade through endless turquoise shallows, skim the waves on a surfboard or boogie board. Discover Mayan mysteries and practice your moves to a salsa beat. With coverage of nature reserves, lighthouses and Mayan ruins all around the Yucatan peninsula and the great craft markets in Merida, this really is the best guide around to this ever-popular area. A new section of helpful contacts makes it easier to participate in outdoor activities, from hiking and birdwatching to sea-kayaking, a sport which is increasingly popular. Before you leave, be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to make sure you don't miss a thing.
