I'm heading to Telum, Mexico in April for a wedding and would like to know if anyone has some ideas for photo shoots in the area. I plan on visiting some Mayan ruins and checking out some jungle but I'm afraid I might miss something special.

Chichen Itza is a must! I was there in December. But do remember to always ask before you take pictures of the Mayans. Some of them believe they lose their soul when taken pictures of.

I would go to Chichen Itza and Tulum. If you are interested in the Mayan sites then there are others in the areal also. See this website for tours http://www.cancun.com/Riviera_Maya/Tours/Archaeological-Sites/

If you are interested in birds, check this site http://www.gcbo.org/html/celestun.pdf for te Reserva Especial de la Biosfera Ris Lagartos. We didn't make it here but its on my list for nest time.

Another one on my list the Sian Ka an Biosphere Reserve http://www.visitsiankaan.com/

My wife sais there is great shopping in Cancun. This should give you some ideas.

The whole Yucatan Peninsula is loaded with Mayan history, ruins, cenotes, jungle, etc.! Photographer's paradise! Enjoy! :)

My brother owns Villa Verde in Merida. Check him out for a really beautiful place to stay. He just bought it last year.

Just returned last month with a Underwater dive trip to Costa Maya,Cozamel,Playa Del Carmen, great area been ther several times . The Mayan Ruins should be great for photo ops, if you go north to Playa Del Carmen,please go to Xcaret Eco Park , We always enjoyed it .The weather should be great , Have Fun!
