Merida is Weird. I like Weird. There are a lot of curious things about Merida Mexico - follow me around as I follow around a couple locals my tour guide Eduardo @followmeyucatan and
photographer Nelly @nativasoy as we explore and travel around Merida in the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico featuring all it’s highlights and the best things to do when you’re visiting the Yucatan Peninsula Mexico - including Merida, Puerto Progreso, Campeche, Izamal, Motul, Valladolid, Tulum and Cancun. Regardless of what you read or hear in Mexico Travel Advisories - this region is incredible safe. The people are warm and friendly and there is a large expat community that lives there - especially a lot of Canadians. There are direct flights from Toronto to Merida.
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is a stunning coastal region decorated with tropical beaches with white coral sand and turquoise blue waters, spectacular wildlife like iguanas, pelicans and pink flamingos, ancient Mayan ruins like Chichen Itza,, small villages, and outdoor adventure activities like cave diving, swimming in the cenotes, parasailing and more!
There are also pink waters found in the salt flats where you’ll find the pink flamingo’s natural habitat.
The colours of the Yucatan and vast covering all colours of the rainbow which you will see especially reflected in the homes and architecture of Merida and Campeche.
The rich Mayan culture is especially prevalent in the food. Some of the most complex and delicious food in the world is to be had in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The cuisines are so rich and complex with flavours and colours it’s truly unique to this part of the world. Stemming from the wide range of tropical fruits, and local produce it combines local spices and ancient Mayan techniques as well as bizarre imported treasures such as Edam cheese from Holland, which is explained by the colourful history of the Mexican people of Yucatan.
Some of the must try dishes of the Yucatan peninsula include pibil and cochinita pibil, Papadzules, Pavo Relleno Negro which is turkey in a dark sauce made from charred chilies and spices, Poc Chuc, Queso Relleno, Salbutes, Sopa de Lima, Sopes just to name a few. The region is also known for their chocolate, merenge desserts and wide arrange of tropical fruits such as the mamey.
I spent 3 weeks in this place with the help of my local guide Eduardo Campos Martínez who has his Masters in Tourism and I had the pleasure of staying in his recently renovated home from the beginning of the XX Century known as the porfiriato period. This stunning 2 story multi room house is available for rent on Airbnb and it is in the centre of Merida in a lovely quiet area.
In addition he offers experiences on Airbnb and will also customize a private tour for you and your group. I highly, highly recommend him as a guide for the region as without him I would not have had the depth of knowledge and experiences out of the region - he's incredibly passionate about what he does.

???????? MERIDA is CRAZY (Not what we expected) First Impressions of Merida, Yucatan│Mexico 2021
MERIDA IS A CRAZY PLACE!
We arrived in Merida, the capital of Yucatan just yesterday and this place has blown us away totally. The city of Merida is so wild and has an intense warmth and charm about it, unlike any city that we have ever been to before.
Mérida, the vibrant capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán, has a deep Mayan and colonial heritage. The city’s focal point is Plaza de la Independencia, lined by the fortress-like Mérida Cathedral and white limestone Iglesia de la Tercera Orden, both colonial-era churches built using relics from ancient Mayan temples. The Casa de Montejo, a 16th-century mansion, is a landmark of colonial plateresque architecture and is certainly worth a visit if you ask us!
The market we visited in the beginning of this video is Mercado Lucas De Galvez! It is a HUGE market packed full of local Yucateca food, hand made goods and freshly grown crops.
We recommend you to try the cheap Tortas packed full of Cochinita Pibil!
This market will leave you smiling from ear to ear and with a full belly too!
Paseo Montejo
Paseo de Montejo is a beautiful, wide avenue within Mérida, México. It is named after Francisco de Montejo, the Spanish conquistador who founded the city in 1542, and is the location of some of the most iconic buildings and monuments of the city.
Our favourite Gordita spot in Merida City : Gorditas Gorda
Address: esq. con calle 61 Calle 60, Centro, 97000 Mérida, Yuc.
Mérida has been aptly nicknamed The White City (La Ciudad Blanca), though the exact origin of this moniker is not very clear. Some explanations include the common colour of its old buildings painted and decorated with cal or the fact that the residents keep the city particularly clean. Mérida was named after the Spanish town of the same name! originally (in Latin) Augústa Emérita. Mérida has also served as the American Capital of Culture in the years 2000 and 2017.
