Excursions

Itzamal “the yellow town” is an archeological site itself. From the top of the pyramid Kinich Kakmó one can imagine how this Mayan city once was. Get amazed by the Franciscan convent with the 2nd largest enclosed atrium in the world, which was built on top of a pyramid. Do not miss to visit a handicraft workshop.

Although the beaches of Yucatan do not offer the dreamy colors of the Caribbean, they have their own attraction since they are in a more natural state and one can easily combine an excursion with a visit to Mayan ruins (Xcambo or Dzibilchaltún) or mangroves to see different birds such as flamingos. It is the perfect quiet place without crowds if you’re hoping for a laid back vibe or if you prefer action, how about flying a kite, collecting seashells or riding the waves?

Ek Balam is a small archaeological site recently excavated and yet not as visited as other sites. It is only here that you will be able to appreciate beautiful and well-preserved stucco sculptures. You could swim in a cenote. Visit it on your way between Cancun and Merida
