Here again,\u00a0<\/span>the dry season is the best time to make the most of archaeological excursions<\/strong>. The month of February is particularly pleasant throughout the country, with clear skies and a host of cultural events. Built on a Mayan site, the colonial city of Merida is currently the capital of the region. Its palaces and cathedrals are beautiful examples of colonial architecture, but it is also the place to discover more recent culture. Those in search of adventure should head to the small port city of Campeche to take in its impressive fortifications, which once served to ward of pirates, and to stroll through its narrow streets dotted with multi-coloured houses.<\/span>
Other Mayan sites await you further east, such as\u00a0<\/span>Cop\u00e1n<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Quirigu\u00e1<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>the pyramids of Tikal<\/strong>.
