Walk to the Arco de San Juan. This large, well-preserved city gate once marked the start of the road to Campeche. Find a spot on the ground or nearby steps to settle in as the light begins to shift.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light washes over the colonial stone, marking the perfect moment to capture the arch against the evening sky.
