YUCATAN ADVENTURE GUIDE — A multiple award winning guidebook.   

    This guide is about adventure, excitement, and fun, in land with a vibrant culture that flourishes amid the ruins of an ancient civilization. This Mexican peninsula is home to breathtaking natural wonders and beaches to die for, and the Adventure Guide to the Yucatán takes you to every nook and cranny.

    Whether your idea of excitement is lying on a white sand beach sipping margaritas under a palm tree, or hiking into the jungle to explore the spectacular ruins of the Maya, one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas, this book offers unparalleled coverage of the Maya homeland. Follow the authors’ path to luxurious Spanish Colonial era haciendas or modern beachfront hotels in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel.  It’s just recently gone out of print but remains, by far, the best Yucatan guidebook available.

       Award-winning photographs fill many pages of the guides and many were on display at the National Arts Club in New York. The Adventure Guide to the Yucatán won two prestigious travel writing awards from the North American Travel Journalists Association, including “Best Travel Book.” © 2004 $19.95

    • “…really terrific…I found your book to be by far the best. It’s not the typical tourist-type book, which is important to me as I’m not the typical tourist!” --Rita Koeser, traveler

1. “…the Adventure Guide had ‘waaay’ more details on little places that turned out to be a real treat. We would never had gone swimming in the cenote at Motul or had the best meal of our whole stay at its little palapa restaurant, the town isn’t even on the map in Lonely Planet.” --reader from Canada.
