Gracious Uxmal, renowned for ist carved facades is no less impressive. 

 

Other sites are Kabah, Sayil, Labná and Xlapak, known as the Puuc Route. The Spaniards too left their mark on the Yucatan. 

 

Time stands still in the white city of Mérida, where horsedrawn carriages still pull up outside 17th century, churches and houses at the turn of the 19 ht century Yucatán’s charming capital benefited from the success of the local henequen (sisal) industry. 


The elegant mansions that line the wide Parisian style boulevard of Paseo Montejo are the legacy of this glittering period.

 

Outside Mérida, the colonial settlements of Izamal, Valladolid and villages on the Convent Route are also worth a visit.  The Yucatecan coast boasts deserted beaches, tranquil fishing villages and the nature reserves of Celestún, el Cuyo and Río Lagartos, home to a flock of pink flamingos.
