Cancún and the Yucatán : Izamal

No one has rated this yet.

Rate it

Known as La Ciudad Dorada, the Golden City, because of the ocher wash of its buildings, this is the most complete and unchanging of Yucatán colonial towns. At its heart is the largest of the Yucatán’s Franciscan monasteries (see Maní Monastery), and a short distance from this are the glowering pyramids of a much older Mayan city. Horse-drawn carriages, victorias , are a favorite way of getting around.
