Mexico's Yucatan peninsula has all the ingredients for an unforgettable family holiday. History? How about a few thousand years of Mayan civilisation, scattered photogenically across the region in a series crumbling stepped pyramids & old clifftop ruins. Beaches? We've got the famous white sands of Tulum, glittering underground Cenotes in Medina & isolated sands on Celestun. Food goes without saying. If the kids like Mexican cuisine, they'll adore the real thing: fresh queso (cheese), slow-cooked meats & tortillas hot from the comal. Wildlife? There's dozens of tropical fish species waiting just off the coast, plus sea turtles & rays if you're lucky, but don't forget the flamingos & native birds of the Merida estuary too. Yep, it's fair to say this trip ticks all the boxes, even some of the more obscure ones. Kayaking through ancient Mayan trade lagoons anyone?
