Mérida

The must-see attractions in Mérida include the Plaza Mayor, Catedral de San Ildefonso, Palacio Municipal, Palacio de Gobierno, Paseo de Montejo, Gran Museo del Mundo Maya, and the Uxmal archaeological zone. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the vibrant markets and experience the local cuisine.

Yucatecan cuisine is a delicious fusion of Mayan, Mexican, and Spanish culinary traditions. Be sure to try local specialties like cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork), sopa de lima (lime soup), and refreshing drinks like horchata and jamaica. The flavors are unique and offer a true taste of the region.

Although Mérida is not on the coast, you can easily reach the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. One of the most popular is Progreso, which is just a 30-minute drive away. You can take a taxi, rent a car, or use public transportation to get there and enjoy miles of white sand and calm, turquoise waters.
