financial capital of the region. It’s a modern, cosmopolitan city with museums, art

galleries, restaurants, shops and boutiques. A major center of commerce, Merida

Yucatan is considered the crossroads of the region and one of the most

important places to experience the Mayan heritage.

traditional clothing, parks, hotels, restaurants with national and international food

standards. The Historic Center is the ideal place to carryout different leisure

activities and nightlife every single day.
