Introducing Tizimín

Tizimín is dusty and ‘authentic, ’ meaning that you won’t find much here that’s designed with the tourist in mind. Most people find themselves here if they’re traveling to Río Lagartos or Holbox. Still, the tree-filled Parque Principal is pleasant, particularly at sundown, and the city fills with people from outlying ranches during its annual fair to celebrate Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings’ Day), which lasts from January 1 to 15.

Two great colonial structures – Parroquia Los Santos Reyes de Tizimín (Church of the Three Wise Kings) and its former Franciscan monastery (the ex-convento) – are worth looking at while you’re waiting to make your bus connection. The church fronts Tizimín’s main plaza, the Parque Principal, which has an HSBC with ATM and currency exchange on its southwest side.
