YUCATAN

The Yucatan region is located to the southeast of Mexico, occupying about 100.00 km2 and bathed in its northern slope by the Caribbean Sea.

It has about two million people, mostly of Mayan origin, and is divided politically between the Mexican states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo.

In Mexico, the local currency is the peso with respect to equalization USD 11 to 1 in early 2007 .

During the last days of the Mayan Yucatan enjoyed a huge development: big cities, roads and large trade flow.

With the conquest, the Maya were prohibited from trading and its population was quickly decimated by disease.

Yucatan then became an inhospitable place, only accessible to pirates and adventurers who came to the coast to hide.

Only in the second half of this century Yucatan joined the rest of Mexico by appropriate means of communication and a new influx population that came to the event proposal by tourism.

There are other economic activities such as the Maquila tissue, fisheries and agriculture craft, but can not come to an industrial development.

Cancun, Merida, Chichen Itza or any of the hundreds of almost virgin beaches dot the coast have opened the gates of Yucatan in future.
