An Art Lover's Picks for Mexico City & the Yucatan

An Art Lover's Picks for Mexico City & the Yucatan Photo

We love how airynfaerie is pioneering a quarter system for travelers, intent on visiting “a new place once a quarter.” And speaking of trips times four, she’s just returned to journal writing with four new journals, three of which spotlight the art and culture of Mexico.

First stop, Mexico City. From the Palacio Nacional murals to the Museo Frida Kahlo to graffiti art and street rituals, airynfaerie reveled in photographing the culture of Mexico’s vibrant capital.

Over on the Yucatan Peninsula, airynfaerie visited Chichen Itza and Merida for more doses of art and culture.

The traveler also raves about Tulum and Coba, where the art was older, the surroundings bluer, and the accommodations quite luxurious.

If you're enjoying these photos, don’t miss airynfaerie’s other photos and reviews from Mexico, nor her creative new Florence, Italy, journal; appropriately enough, the art fan also has advice from a year spent living in the city of Michelangelo.
