When I planned my trip to Merida in 2018, I looked for cities that I could reach by bus. Izamal certainly caught my eye with its bright yellow buildings! And that’s the first city I visited after arriving in Mexico.
During my trip around the world, I spent a week at a friend in Merida. That gave me the opportunity to visit some of the wonders of Yucatán. I was quite disappointed by Chichen Itza, which has become some kind of Maya Disneyland. It’s full of tourists taking selfies and of souvenirs stands. I was shocked. It was a totally different feeling in the ancient Maya city of Uxmal.
