Spend the day getting to know Mérida, the cultural capital of the Yucatán Peninsula. Driving along its narrow streets with vibrant colonial architecture, you begin your day at the Monument to the Country, a massive stone sculpture that tells the story of the Yucatán. A drive down Paseo de Montejo reveals some of the city’s most iconic buildings, and a stop at the Santa Ana neighborhood allows time to visit its cathedral and market. You will also explore one of the oldest cathedrals on the continent and contrast that with the Museum of Modern Art in Merida’s historic center. Conclude your day by dining at the stunning Mansión Mérida on the Park, beautifully restored in the French architectural style that influenced the city in the 19th century.
History and culture come alive on a fascinating tour of the charming city of Mérida.
