There's really only one route around the Yucatan: the variation comes in where you choose to break the journey or to make side trips off the main trail. Whether from Palenque or by road and ferry along the beautiful coast from Ciudad del Carmen , Hwy-180 heads up to Campeche , from there to Merida , and on via Chichen Itza to the Caribbean coast. From Merida the best of the Maya sites - Uxmal, Chichen Itza and a trove of smaller, less visited ruins - are in easy reach. The road that runs across the south of the peninsula, from Francisco Escarcega to Chetumal, is relatively new, passing through jungle territory rich in Maya remains, several of which have only recently been opened to the public. Though largely unexplored, these are beginning to see a trickle of visitors as access improves; you can get accommodation and arrange tours at Xpujil , a village named after the nearby archeological site, on the border between Campeche and Quintana Roo states.
