Speaking of fruit, the month of May is the best time to try the most tropical fruits of the state, such as the delicious Yucatecan plum, Chi’abal, Huayas, and dragon fruit. You can buy them at markets; don’t forget the chili and lime.

In May, the streets are brightly colored thanks to our Flamboyant and Golden Rain trees, which cover Yucatecan paths with red and yellow. There’s nothing like admiring them between the stone walls (Albarradas) of a small town; take colorful pictures!
