The remotest of Mexico''s tropical states - Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo - comprise the vast slab of the Yucatán Peninsula. They are most closely associated with the Mayan civilization, and this large-scale map locates all the dozens of visitable Mayan sites in the region. The map also pinpoints the Yucatán''s eco-tourism interest, with national parks clearly demarcated, as well as its popular beach resorts around Cancún, and Playa del Carmen and on the islands of Cozumel and Ilha Mujeres.

Excellent map and current,

This review is from: Yucatan Peninsula Map by Rough Guides (Rough Guide Country/Region Map) (Map)
I bought this map before taking a driving trip in the Yucatan in April 2006. It is an excellent road map and has current road information which is important because older maps are missing roads. Signage in the Yucatan can be very poor. I highly advise buying a road map if you're driving around the Yucatan at all! It saved us a few times from long backtracks after we missed turnoffs due to poor signage.

This is the best map of the Yucatan, that I have found. I just used it to drive all over from Puerto Morelos to Holbox, Valladolid, then to Coba and Tulum. The roads are exactly as depicted, and almost all of the small towns are listed.

Excellent regional map but lacks city & town detail,

This review is from: Yucatan Peninsula Map by Rough Guides (Rough Guide Country/Region Map) (Map)
We rented a car and drove around Yucatan and had a great time. The roads and signs were better than I had expected, but like anywhere they are very far from perfect. This map was excellent for driving on highways and getting between towns. It had almost every tiny place on it. It is printed on a laminated paper that is almost indistructible which was good given the amount of times we re-folded it.
The only gripe, and it is a big one, there are no city or town level maps. Merida is the main city in the region and it has not a single detail map of it. Like any city, you can get terribly lost and not find a sign post anywhere. Luckily we had the lonely planet guide that had good city and town maps. The map is only printed on one side and so there is plenty of room for a couple of maps of major towns on the reverse they decided not to use that space for some reason. We could not have done our trip without this map and saved our bacon a few times but it was useless in Merida and any other town you visit - such as any Mayan ruins. Make sure you bring another guidebook with that level of detail.
