One of the best times to visit Yucatán is during January and February. The temperature is almost perfect and these are also incredible months for ecotourism, as many migratory species spend the winter months along the coast of the peninsula. On page 4, Valentina writes about the pre-Hispanic origins of eating Tamales on Candlemass. Then read page 7 for Ceci’s account of a family trip to the beaches of Sisal and Celestún, where Mother Nature provides all that’s needed for a relaxing and restorative break. Violeta tempts us with another getaway on page 8, to enjoy and support Yaxuná’s community tourism project, featuring a cenote and a unique archaeological site. On page 10, Ralf reports on how Hacienda Yaxcopoil is turning back time by restoring a sisal hacienda to its former glory. And last but not least, at Yucatán Today we are celebrating our 32nd birthday. Thank you for allowing us to lead you ‘round our Yucatán; we hope you’ll continue traveling with us for a long time to come.
