A self guided audio tour of Yucatán.
The Yucatan sits apart from the rest of Mexico in ways you feel immediately. The land is flat and dense with jungle, broken open by cenotes, those luminous sinkholes of clear water that thread through the limestone like a secret system. Ancient Maya cities rise from the forest at intervals, and the colonial towns between them have a sun bleached dignity all their own. Moving through the peninsula is to move through deep time at a very human pace.
In the app, 21 stops in Yucatán are narrated aloud, about 36m of listening across 2 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 37 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.
"As we walk around the base, the sheer scale of the construction becomes apparent."
"You are standing here, surrounded by these massive walls, and it's easy to picture the trade."
"When you look at this structure, you might think the most impressive thing is the alignment."
"You are looking at one of the longest bridges in Mexico, and it is the second longest."
"The architecture itself is breathtaking."
"You are standing in a place that was once a major center of Maya life."
