Let’s do something active after indulging in perhaps a little too much Pib at the beginning of the month. There’s no better way to stretch your legs than trekking the archaeological sites of the state. Try vast Chichén Itzá, or head to Mayapán where you can climb the pyramids and get on that pre-Columbian StairMaster.

Mondays are known as “Lunes de Frijol con Puerco” because this regional dish is everyone’s favorite way to start the week. Chunks of pork are stewed until tender with black beans and Epazote, and are then served with rice, chopped onions, fresh coriander, radishes, and a squeeze of lime. Pass the tortillas.

Flamingos are very active during November because it’s their mating season. Watch them pink and perfectly poised or mid-flight in Celestún during this month. Just remember, flamingos need social distancing as well, coming too close disrupts their busy feeding and flirting schedule.

Elegant surroundings and world-class service is what you can expect from a stay at Hacienda Petac. They open to only one group at a time, so it’s the perfect place to plan a getaway with family during social-distancing times.

In the first days of December, you can usually see the Antorchistas cycling and running along the highways of the state. This pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe culminates on December 12. It’s one of the most important religious celebrations in the country.
