The White and Golden Cities of Yucatan with Lunch

Merida, The White City: First, take a sight-seeing tour of Merida, known as The White City, one of the oldest and most commemorated cities founded in the middle of an ancient Mayan city called T'ho. Take a panoramic tour past all the mansions of the Divine Caste, the wealthy Spanish descendants who built this "Champs Elysees" of Paris.

Izamál, The Golden City: Originally founded by the Mayans in the 5th century A.D., the majority of Izamál’s streets are now lined with houses built only a few years after the Spanish conquest. While there is much of both the Mexican and Mayan cultures in evidence here, this tour will focus on the rich Spanish Colonial aspects of this city.

Horse-Drawn Carriage: Guests can tour this picturesque town in horse-drawn carriages, (called Victorias) and pass by such sights as the Izamál City Hall, which dates from the 1700s and is the largest building of its kind in Yucatán.

Lunch Time: Enjoy a delicious Mayan lunch before heading back to your ship.

What’s Included:

• Horse-drawn carriages.
• Authentic Mayan lunch based on corn tortilla, chicken and vegetables.
