Convento de San Antonio de Padua

Reviewed By Ali921 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

It dominates the town. Nice to walk around the buildings although there is not a great deal to see. It's more famous for the visit by Pope John Paul II when he "crowned" the statue of the Virgin. It's next to the main plaza. We enjoyed it because it was not overcrowded by other tourists.

Zona Arqueologica de Izamal

Headquarters of Bishop Landa, the friar who both destroyed the ancient Mayan civilization by burning its codexes, and preserved it for posterity by providing the only written documentation of Mayan society.

Simply amazing and a must to visit! Spectacular only begins to describe this experience in the second largest enclosed space in the world...Second to the Vatican. The tour is well worth the 10 pesos to see the many gowns created for the statue of the Virgin. The church, grounds and convent are beautifully maintained, and the whole town is immaculately clean and painted yellow to match the church. A few very nice hotels and easy access from the bus lines. Easy travel destination though a little out of the way. Just go.

Piramide de Kinich Kak Moo

Reviewed By PhilipG672 - Denver, United States

The Kinich Kak Moo Piramide is a short walk from the center of Izamal. If you're planning to climb to the top I suggest doing it in the morning before it gets hot. Views from the top are worth the climb and illustrates how little the topography changes in the peninsula.
