"Incidents of Travel in Yucatán" is a seminal work by American explorer and writer John Lloyd Stephens, first published in 1843. This two-volume book is a detailed account of Stephens' explorations and discoveries in the Yucatán Peninsula, undertaken in the early 1840s. Accompanied by the English artist and architect Frederick Catherwood, Stephens embarked on a journey to uncover the remnants of the ancient Maya civilization, which at the time were largely unknown to the Western world.

The work is notable for its vivid descriptions, meticulous documentation, and the inclusion of Catherwood's detailed illustrations, which provided some of the first visual representations of Maya ruins to a global audience. Stephens' narrative combines elements of travel literature, archaeology, and anthropology, offering readers a comprehensive look at the geography, culture, and history of the region. His engaging writing style and keen observations helped to popularize the study of Mesoamerican civilizations and spurred further archaeological interest and research.

"Incidents of Travel in Yucatán" is divided into two volumes, each chronicling different aspects of the journey. The first volume focuses on the initial discoveries and the challenges faced during the expedition, while the second volume delves deeper into the exploration of specific sites, such as Uxmal, Kabah, and Labná. Stephens' work is also significant for its respectful portrayal of the indigenous Maya people, whose knowledge and assistance were crucial to the success of the expedition.

The book received widespread acclaim upon its release and remains a cornerstone in the field of Mesoamerican studies. It has been reprinted numerous times and continues to be a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and enthusiasts of ancient civilizations. Through "Incidents of Travel in Yucatán," John Lloyd Stephens not only documented the grandeur of the Maya ruins but also contributed to the broader understanding and appreciation of pre-Columbian cultures.
