Extensive listings of recommended tour operators, too. Select places to stay and eat, as well as regional festivals and celebrations. Takes you to places not covered in competing guides. Hike on mountain trails, swim in hidden cenotes, watch the sun rise on a beach near the ancient Maya port ofPole (where the authors celebrated the dawn of the new millennium).
