We love Mérida, and we hope you love it too! It's a vibrant city with beautiful architecture and amazing food. Stroll along Paseo de Montejo, a grand avenue lined with colonial mansions, and pop into one of the boutique shops and cafés. At night, enjoy live music and dancing in the streets or take in views of the colonial architecture from a rooftop bar.

Within an hour of Mérida, there is plenty to see! Relax on the beaches of Progreso, Celestún, or the quieter town of Sisal. Explore ancient Mayan ruins like Uxmal or Mayapán. You can even go for a swim in cenotes like Cuzamá or San Antonio Mulix.
