The ultimate beach-to-ruins guide with details on over 40 beaches and 150 Mayan archaeological sites, this edition of Hidden Cancún and the Yucatán is fully updated with dozens of newly added "hidden" spots, like the picturesque coastal village of Xcalak, where small beachfront hotels sit along a pot-holed dirt road. The book also leads readers to authentic eateries from the author’s favorite palapa stands to top restaurants, where they can sample dishes unique to the Yucatán. Fully covered are Cancún and the Mayan Riviera, including unusual, fun, and funky alternatives to big resorts.
