This illustrated publication portrays the colonial churches of Yucatan, escorting the reader along eight regional routes across the peninsula. Spectacular photography and informative prose are used to paint portraits of the churches and their important historical backgrounds. This volume describes the region around Valladolid and the eastern part of the Yucatan peninsula, including areas in the neighbouring state of Quintana Roo. It elaborately portrays Izamal¿s famous convent and the convents and churches along the tourist-trodden Ruta de los Cenotes. The attractively laid-out photographs and prose not only invite the reader to marvel at these extraordinary churches, but also entice the reader to embark on his own journey to discover Yucatan¿s religious buildings, steeped in history and charm.
