Stunning beauty still awaits you in Mexico

If you are the sort of traveler, armchair and otherwise, that prefers quiet natural splendors over raucous fun on the beach, the Yucatan Peninsula will have great appeal. Photographer Lockwood spent the better part of a year documenting the stunning beauty of the areas remaining wilderness, principally at the island atolls of Arrecife Alacran and Banco Chinchorro, and the nature reserves Sian Ka'an and Calakmul. As the extraordinary photos and brief essays make clear, such natural splendors won't last long unless we all treat the land and its inhabitants with sensitivity and respect.Makes a wonderful gift for anyone contemplating a trip to the area.
