ʻOi aku ka nui o ke ao Yucatecan ma mua o ke kiʻi maʻamau o kēlā triangle huli i lei aliʻi i ka peninsula, a aia ma laila, ma waena o ka wela a me ka wela o ke kauwela mau loa, nā lole Maya, nā moʻomeheu mestizo a me ka nui o nā kuʻuna i koe.
ʻO nā wahi ʻāina kahi e māhele ʻia ai ka mokuʻāina ʻo ia ka Coast, the Plain and the Sierrita. Akā no ke kaʻapuni ʻana iā ia, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana iā ʻoe iho ma ka lawe ʻana iā Mérida ma ke ʻano he "kikowaena" e alakaʻi pono iā mākou ma o nā wahi ʻoluʻolu loa.

Hoʻokahi hola mai Mérida, nā moʻomeheu ʻekolu: pre-Hispanic, colonial a mestizo, e hui pū i ke kūlanakauhale nani o Izamal.
