The Yellow Town of Izamal
Izamal is a magical and peaceful town located about 70 km east of Merida, where cobblestone streets are lined with historic colonial buildings painted in a beautiful and eye-catching yellow colour. There is a handicrafts route you can take to see the workshops where miniatures are made, where hammocks are woven, where papier maché butterflies and dragonflies are crafted, and where wooden jaguars, crucifixes, boxes and more are carved.
