Reopening Yucatán Safely

Here’s what they have to say on taking strict safety measures:

“All businesses must be certified with the Certificate of Good Sanitary Practices developed by the Ministry of Tourism of the state of Yucatán and undergo an on-site review of their facilities by the Yucatán Health Secretariat (SSY). The certification program was approved by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and its ‘Safe Travels stamp’ effort.”

Yucatán is an excellent location to jet-set for those looking for an authentic, unique adventure. This getaway in the Gulf of Mexico has so much to offer from exploring the archaeological wonders of Chichén Itzá and Ek Balam to cave diving and swimming in a cenote — a natural well of crystal-clear water. Did you know the State of Yucatán has over 3000 of these pools where you can swim, snorkel, and even zip line?
