The 8 Best Monuments & Statues in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

This is a very impressive monument which has different views and intricate stonework. The monument is at the northern edge of the Paseo de Montejo. It took 12 years to carve – primarily by Colombian artist Romulo Rozo. The monument was dedicated in 1956. It’s in the middle of a roundabout but you can easily time your pedestrian crossing to get a closer look. The statue has 31 columns which represent the 28 states, 2 territories and 1 Federal District.

This is gorgeous when the fountain is running at sunset. It is by far the best sculpture we saw along the waterfront. There are others spread all along the waterfront but this one was just beautiful and our favourite. Found right in town near the ferry terminal, you can't miss and once you see you'll understand why it's one of the most photographed on the island.
