The Mexico you’ve always wanted to discover
To visit Izamal is to visit a city/town that is alive with three cultures – the ancient Maya, the colonial, and the present-day bustling Izamal.
Izamal is a monument of color, history, and pride that can be felt in its streets and buildings. Art, music, and gastronomy are all around you!
Izamal is called the City of Three Cultures because three historical periods merge: the pyramids seen looking at the sky in the backyard of local houses; the convent, whose charm stems from the silence of the majestic walls that forever marked the footprint of the Spanish influence; the streets, buildings, squares, houses and churches, all in a harmonious visual rhythm of one color: yellow.
Get exclusive access to renovated colonial houses and be amazed by uniques styles of architecture. Dream places with the essence of colonial history, sometimes minimalist, sometimes heavily loaded with Mexican sacred art.
A one of a kind culinary experience! We will take you to the best restaurant in the region.

- Izamal (Spanish: [isaˈmal] (listen)) is a small city in the Mexican state of Yucatán, 72 kilometres (45 mi) east of state capital Mérida, in southern Mexico. The city was continuously occupied throughout most of Mesoamerican chronology; in 2000, the city's estimated population was 15,000 people
- Izamal is known in Yucatán as the Yellow City (most of its buildings are painted yellow) and the City of Hills (that actually are the remains of ancient temple pyramids).
- The Yucatec Maya language is still heard at least as much as Spanish in Izamal. It is the first language in the homes of the majority of the people. Most signs are in both languages.
