Mérida

The best time to visit Mérida is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. The weather is generally sunny and pleasant, with lower humidity levels. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and larger crowds. The shoulder seasons (October and May) offer a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists.

Some must-see attractions in Mérida include the Plaza Grande, the Catedral de San Ildefonso, the Casa de Montejo, the Paseo de Montejo, and the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya. Don't miss the opportunity to visit a traditional market, such as the Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, and experience the local culture.

Mérida is renowned for its delicious Yucatecan cuisine. Be sure to try cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork), sopa de lima (lime soup), poc chuc (grilled pork), and marquesitas (crispy crepes). Also, sample the local fruits and fresh juices, and don't forget to try a refreshing horchata.
