Yucatan Peninsula Is Full Of Mystery And Intrigue This Summer

Uncategorized

If you have usually visited the Yucatan throughout the winter months while distraction from cold weather and cabin fever is the motivation, at hand are added reasons why the summer in the Yucatan is the best time to visit!  Let’s face it, it’s sweltering all over the place in the summer, but where can you go further than the backyard pool to search for relief from the heat?  How about the Caribbean where you have the worlds biggest and clearest white sand bottom pool!

More than simply the amazing blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, hotels in Yucatan, Tulum resorts and Holbox Island hotels offer deeply reduced rates along with special Yucatan travel deals and packages to attract vacationers to the area in what nearly everyone consider to be the offseason.  All through the months of June through September, there are local weather and ocean current differences on the Yucatan Peninsula that generate wonderous spectacles of nature that can only be found in a a small number of places on the earth; some exclusive to this area.

One of the alluring features of summer months on the Yucatan is the tranquil seas.  The constant north winds of the winter subside and it is for the duration of this point in time that the waters fashion a natural aquarium with elevated visibility further revealing the variety of sea life that thrives in these calm and clear waters.   If you search for once in a lifetime events, there are at least two that come to mind. 

From June through October, the sea turtles arrive to nest on the seashores south of the active Playa del Carmen hotels and resorts and can be witnessed just steps from your Akumal hotel or from places further south at a beach front Tulum hotels and eco cabana resorts.  The most excellent manner to see these incredible creatures is at night, walking the seashores.  The action frequently picks up after 10pm local time.  There are a a small number of factors to contemplate when searching for nesting turtles. The first is never frighten them during the nesting process.  That includes no flash photography and you will  want to obtain a red lens or film paper over your standard flashlight.  Regular light can disorient the turtles, but they cannot see the red filtered light.  If you choose to go turtle searching, under the light of a full moon, a flashlight is not considered necessary.  Look for the tracks and when you make out just one set instead of two, you realize there’s a turtle nesting!

The other “once in a lifetime” all through the summer season in the Yucatan is swimming with the Whale Sharks!  Just offshore from Holbox Island, each June and ongoing through September, these magnificent creatures meet in the area for the explosion of life these months result in.  Vacation in one of a selection of boutique Holbox hotels on this quiet little island or lodge in a historical Merida hotel and get an early start.  The usual adventure begins with an early morning boat ride.    Following a biologist briefing, you will  realize the do’s and don’ts.   Be set to have fun and adventure, swimming with these gentle giants is genuinely an experience to remember.

In addition to these highlights the fishing during the summer season on the Yucatan is fabulous.  You can stay in a number of charming Mahahual hotels and fishing lodges that cater to the adventurer fishermen.   Of course, the snorkeling and scuba in this vicinity, is incredible!  If you are searching for more motives to visit the Yucatan during the summer, stay tuned!
