March 12, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

The Yucatan capital has both colonial and Mayan treasures to discover. Nearby ruins at Uxmal give some insight into the lives of the predecessors of the conquistadores, who arrived in 1542. Mayan culture is also still evident in Merida's daily life and in the many colorful festivals celebrated here.

Nahualli Casa de los Artistas

In the heart of Merida's Historic Center, Casa Estudio was born and continues to grow. It has evolved into a place where contemporary visual art and the solemn elegance of colonial architecture converge, creating an environment at once original and distinguished for its extensive collection of beautiful and masterfully done paintings, sculpture. drawings and prints.

There was some very interesting sculpture and visual art at this gallery. It is close to Santa Ana park and I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Ruta Puuc

Reviewed By JimP988 - Los Angeles, United States

The main site, Uxmal, is perhaps the most beautiful in all of Yucatan, though it is worth the effort to hire a guide to see Kabah, Sayil, Xlapak, and Labna, which are just down the road. You can stay at Uxmal, Ticul, or Santa Elena.

Habla: The Center for Language and Culture

Spanish School and Cultural Center

Reviewed By Relax07744559093

My husband and I did a two week intermediate Spanish immersion class at Habla and it far exceeded our very high expectations. The school is amazing, but the teachers are the true heart of the school. I got to meet an intelectual anarchist, eat delicious food and learn more spanish in two weeks than I thought possible. All our teachers had the true gift of teaching. Everyone that works there feels like they love their job and it shows. Another unexpected benefit was the other students. Everyone was so interesting and fun to learn with. I highly recommend Habla to any level of Spanish learner.

Los 7 Cenotes

The touristic developement "Los 7 Cenotes San Gerónimo" is 80 minutes drive from Merida and offers wonderful closed, open, and semi-open Cenotes, each beautiful and well cared for. On this adventure, you'll get to visit 2 or 3 cenotes and enjoy a great experience at each as you swim. there are 7 cenotes which are relatively close, we only visited 2 or 3 cenotes because we are focused on the quality and this also depends on the physical condition of the group and climate of the day.You might share the tour with another group. You'll also enjoy the excellent facilities of the place with a view of a centuries-old Ceiba, beautiful garden and amazing hosts. This is an unforgettable experience in Yucatan, where the doors of the Maya world will be always open for you. Enjoy the crystalline water of the Cenotes surrounded by an environment of natural beauty. Do you dare?
