A small colonial city in Mexico’s Yucatan region, Izamal combines the aesthetics of old and new, with ancient pyramids standing alongside an old Spanish monastery and yellow-painted town buildings. The city was once an ancient Maya ceremonial center, and the largest pyramid—dubbedKinich Kak Mo—was a holy site built for the Maya sun god.

However, after the Spanish conquer, the Mayan constructions were destroyed to use their rocks to build the Spanish buildings that we get to see nowadays.

Amazing and Unique Experience!
This experience was fantastic! From seeing the beautiful yellow architecture on a horse-drawn carriage ride to the incredibly unique experience with a master Mayan artist - this trip was one to remember. Gabriel was an incredible guide who was great at answering the variety of historical, political, and cultural questions we asked and is a really kind person. The experience felt very personal and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Yucatán.
