The peaceful paradise, #Mérida, features a blend of colonial houses and Mayan ruins between which the city shares its heritage. Begin your #vacation at Plaza Grande and #explore the surrounding pastel streets filled with architectural treasures and cool parks.

Mérida’s many museums cover everything from Yucatan song to the folk arts of Mexico. The Museum of The City of Mérida charts the rich and sometimes turbulent history of Yucatan’s capital. #Visit the Yucatan’s Anthropology and History Museum and nearby, the Great Museum of the Mayan World which creates a striking contrast to Mérida’s historic streetscapes.

Mérida is surrounded by ancient Mayan cities such as Dzibilchaltun, Mayapan, Uxmal, and Chichén Itza. The Yucatan Peninsula has an incredible network of over 6000 cenotes. Some, such as the Sacred Cenote of Chichén Itza, were considered portals to the afterlife.

Mérida is undoubtedly one of the coolest and most cultural cities in Mexico.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

  1. Hello, very interesting, it served me super well and I went to all the places you mentioned, in addition to going to all the cenote towns and beaches I did it by motorcycle, in Mérida you can rent quite powerful and comfortable automatic motorcycles to make trips to the points of Yucatan interest, it is a super adventure, besides that I am very practical, I recommend it, in case your subscribers are interested, I will leave how to find the company that rents the motorcycles (I do not remember what they are called) but you can search in Google as " rent scooter rent motorcycles ”, it seems to me. They include a comprehensive coverage insurance in the cost of the rent. In this way, in 5 days I managed to visit a lot of points of interest and return the nights to my airbnb in Mérida. Greetings

  2. What a cool town!! I'm also doing videos about Mexico, but I decided not to go to Yucatan cause it's too touristic for my kind of videos!! But it's nice to see it at least on the youtube 🙂

  3. Everything I'd love, all year round sun, heat, humidity, culture, beauty, I've been to quintana roo, Mexico City, Acapulco etc and its amazing, im trying very hard to make a success of my online business so that I can be free to visit for as long as I want. I can't wait to visit Merida soon! ❤

  4. Just spent a week in Merida and am ready to go back. The food, the culture, the safety, the friendliness and the weather were what made for a wonderful visit.

  5. America news paint the picture like Mexico is a war zone of kidnapping cartels. I should've known. I'm noticing a lot of America's are moving there and I'm interested too. If anyone have resources to help make a move there, please tag me. 🙏🏽 Thank you.

  6. Nice and informative video. I live in Mazatlan and plan to move to Merida. Thanks for the info and be good.

  8. Esta persona vende terrenos en ciudad maderas y es un fraude silvia María del Carmen sampedro ballesteros

  9. so very thankful they could finally reconcile with the Spanish at 1:10 of Expedia's youtube video in 2017. Seriously though: I'd think a company as large and present worldwide as Expedia wouldn't tiptoe around offending conquistadors that have been dead for hundreds of years by now. Spent a month in the Yucatan and cant even justify watching the rest of the video after that claim. A gorgeous church that symbolizes the eventual defeat of the Mayan civilization <3

  10. Merida has been on my heart since January after I considered Mexico as my next home. I've watched countless videos talking about the extreme heat, mosquitoes, flying cockroaches, and all, and somehow, I'm still being drawn to it. I think I'll go with my gut and continue to research, but it's such a beautiful place. Even despite the heat that people mention often.
