Yucatán is the peninsular in southern Mexico which juts out into the sea, separating the Caribbean from the Gulf of Mexico. It is the home of many civilizations, most notably the Maya, and it was conquered by the Aztecs after they built their capital Tenochitlan.

It features as a map in both Age of Empires II and Age of Empires III. In Age of Empires II, Yucatán was introduced as a Real World map, which took the same shape every time it was played, but looked very much like the real Yucatán.

In Age of Empires III, it is a random map type, with a strip of land down the middle and seas on either side. It is heavily forested, and Capybaras and Tapirs roam in the forests. The Native villages in Yucatán are: Maya and Aztec (Aztecs were replaced by Zapotecs in The War Chiefs expansion).

Note: The peninsula is also featured in Act I: Blood, during The Ottoman Fort, though it bears little similarity to its skirmish counterpart.
