    Izamal is a beautiful colonial city founded in the mid-16th century on the remains of an ancient Mayan city. This place is known as "City of the Hills", recalling the covered pyramids that were there when the Spaniards arrived, as well as "The City of the Three Cultures" because it combines features of its pre-Hispanic past, of the colonial period and of the present time. Currently, the entire city is painted yellow and white, it maintains an image of elegance and charm from past times that distinguishes it and defines it with a stately air in the regional context. In its neat patterned streets, horse-drawn buggies take the visitor on a charming tour of its squares and parks and its historic suburbs.

    It is located on the plateau of the highest hill in the city. You get on it by means of three ramps built on its free sides. The main ramp is of a single body and is finished off at the top by a beautiful and simple portal that gives access to the atrium, of rectangular plant, with 75 arches. Inside the temple there is a beautiful baroque style altarpiece, covered with gold bath. It shows scenes that represent "The Death of Jesus", "The Birth", "The visit of the Virgin to Santa Isabel" and "The visitation of the angel to Mary". At the bottom, there are niches that show the images of "Santa Lucía", "San Antonio", "San Francisco" and "San José". In the upper part, the Coronation of the Virgin as Queen of Heaven is represented and below, the image of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, which also has a simple rail system that communicates with the Camarín, a space where faithful believers show your faith and devotion.

    Valladolid

    Valladolid is a hospitable city full of history that makes Yucatán proud. For centuries it has been identified by the richness of the Spanish legacy embodied in its temples and the ancestry of its old neighborhoods. It has an exceptional colonial flavor. Walking through its streets, with its colorfully painted mansions, the neighborhoods with their churches and of course the imposing convent of San Bernardino de Siena, palpable trace of the Franciscan presence throughout the peninsula, is to return to the past. Its cozy Main Park offers the shade of its laurels to locals and strangers alike, and in the afternoons the birds fill the atmosphere with their trills, announcing the end of the day.
