What a wonderful trip. While in the Yucatan, there are lots of cenote, caves and underground rivers. Check out
The Ek Balaam ruins near Chicken Itza. They are small but have a great example of carved and painted decoration recently uncovered. Valladolid is a beautiful town where the Mexican revolution began. Merida is a large colonial city with beautiful architecture but may be a bit tame for you. For info check Yucatantoday.com.
