 The entire town of Izamal is painted yellow, including the old, simple stone, occupied convent is. Steeped in history, this pre-columbian Mayan city was significant politically and religiously. Today it's more of a tourist attraction. Decorated horse drawn buggies...

From one extreme to another, as steep and windy as the Chiapas roads are, the Yucatan’s are long straight.  It’s a relief for driving and we can often go 20km without crossing a tope!   The Yucatan is well known for ancient ruins, stunning cenotes and white sandy...
