About the author

Greg first visited the Yucatán Peninsula in the early '80s, when his old man took him and his sister to the tiny coastal village of Akumal. They snorkeled with barracuda and parrot fish in the Laguna Yal-Kú, took a nauseating ferry over to Cozumel and even visited the remote ruins of Cobá. And while his present-day journeys will never compete with the rose-hued memories of the past, Greg's been coming back ever since... though he swears the Nohoch Mul pyramid in Cobá has shrunk. Greg's work has been featured in Condé Nast Traveller, National Geographic Traveler, Wild Blue Yonder and in over a dozen guidebooks on Latin America.
