One of Yucatan’s two Magic Towns (named for their historical and cultural significance), Izamal is known for its eye-catching array of richly hued buildings. This colonial city was founded in the 16th century and every house, church and shop you see is painted the same golden-yellow. Easily explored on foot, Izamal’s welcoming cobblestone streets hold surprises at every turn.
