This work presents the characterization of current landscapes in the Yucatan peninsula. To this end the physico- geographical landscape method was used, based on an integrated scheme of the following natural components: geornorphology, altitude, climate, soils. land use and vegetation. These components were derived from digitalized maps, and afterwards they were analyzed using a geographic information system, which resulted in new combinations of cornponents. For the landscape classification process the suggestions of Mateo (1984) were followed regarding diagnose indexes and taxonomic ievels. From the landscape maps so obtained six different landscape types were identified for Quintana Roo, three for Campeche and four for Yucatan.
