"Rocío que cae del cielo"

Izamal is an important archaeological site of the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is probably the biggest city of the Northern Yucatec Plains, covering a minimal urban extension of 53 square kilometres. After the Spanish conquest of Yucatán in the 16th century a Spanish colonial city was founded atop the existing Maya one.

It is mostly a fishing town, with a 19th-century lighthouse (as well as a more modern one) and an abandoned historic hacienda. Besides fishing, Celestún also produces salt, as it has done from pre-Columbian times. The community has many kilometers of sand beaches and abundant wildlife.
