During your vacation, make sure that you can pass through the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). It's located very close to several islands, such as Granitos and Mejia. From these places, you can continue to Sail Rock and Window Rock, which is found in Angel Island. Besides cruising, you can also come down from your yacht and take a hike into the desert. Contrary to what you could be thinking, there are several species of plants and animals that thrive superbly under the heat of the sun. One of the giant cacti in the world, the Cardon cacti, are found all over Midriff Islands.

The beaches are unspoiled and ideal for kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving. You will also never have a problem knowing where to stay as there are plenty of hotels and beach resorts found all over the area. You may also do some whale or dolphin watching at Espiritu Santo Island, which is just nearby. When you're done with the waters, you can then continue to land-based adventures, like hiking, cave painting tours, golfing, and even mountain biking.

In Izamal, you can visit the the Franciscan convent built by Fray Diego de Landa. There is also the Museum of the Community near Cinco de Mayo Park.
