Fodor's Expert Review Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán

Pop into the university's main building to check the bulletin boards just inside the entrance for upcoming cultural events. The Ballet Folklórico de Yucatán presents a combination of music, dance, and theater here most Fridays at 9 pm (think Mexico City's famous Ballet Folklórico de México, but on a slightly smaller scale); tickets are a bargain at MX$70. There are no shows from August 1 to September 22 or during the last two weeks of December.
