Activities and Attractions

Mérida invites you to experience the charm and magic of the ancient 
corners of her Historical Center, linked by wide, tree-lined 
streets.  From the parish of St. Christopher in the east to Santiago 
in the west; from La Ermita de San Sebastian (the Hermitage of St. 
Sebastian)  in the north to Santa Ana in the south, tour her suburbs 
with the austere  facades of ancient homes, view the variety  of 
traditional occupations, small neighborhood stores, and flower and 
fruit markets where vendors cry their wares of candied fruits and 
homemade ices.  

Mérida will please you with her serenade (concert) in Santa Lucia, 
with  public dances to the sound of a “big band” orchestra, and  
with her history displayed in the Mejorada, where a magnificent 
convent dating to the colonial era and a former military fort, which 
is now open to the public. 

The Plaza Grande or Main Square, is the central point for all 
walking tours.  Here a wide variety of Merida’s characters meet, 
demonstrating the intense activity of the cultural capital of the 
Yucatán Península.

City Tours 

Bus Tours, A bus tour of the city provides visitors with information 
about Mérida's most important sites outside the center of town, such 
as the Paseo de Montejo, a boulevard lined by old mansions 
reminiscent of the French architecture popular at the turn of the 
century; catholic temples dating to the Colonial Era; and other 
historical buildings located throughout the city.
Tours are given in both Spanish and English, and leave from the 
Santa Lucia Park (Corner of 55th and 60th St.)

Horse-Drawn Carriages
A carriage ride through the historic downtown district and along the 
Paseo de Montejo give the visitor a different perspective of the 
city. The men at the reins frequently are skilled narrators of 
different stories of their town, making the tour an unforgettable 
experience.

Archaeology

Chichen Itza
The majestic Chichen Itza is recognized throughout the world. Every 
day tourists from all over the globe visit this site, indicating the 
great curiosity inspired by these archeological remains of the Mayan 
Civilization. One of the pleasures of getting to know Chichen Itza 
lies is in the new finds being discovered by archaeologists every 
day. Iconographic elements, including building platforms, walls, 
ancient roads (sacbeo'ob in Maya), altars, friezes, stele, columns, 
lintels, frieze masks and sculptures will satisfy the most demanding 
expectations of any student of the pre-Hispanic world. Most recent 
finds include various constructions that were previously hidden.
The construction which most identifies and symbolizes Chichen Itza 
is the Castle of Kukulcan. Its location in the center of the main 
square,its height, and the stairways on the four sides speaks to its 
importance. . Also indicating its importance are the stone serpent 
heads that point to the Sacred Cenote, characterizing its connection 
with the dominion, government and religion of this legendary Mayan 
Center.

Uxmal
The buildings of Uxmal are built in the archeological style known 
as "Puuc", the name wich means a route traveled by tourists its 
appreciated worldwide for its unique characteristics:such as 
monumental buildings, walls and vaulted roofs covered with carved 
stone, geometric forms, sunken columns, latticework and stone masks 
of the god Chaac. The cities on the Puuc Route are Uxmal, Kabah, 
Sayuil, Oxkintok, Chacmultun and Labna.
The ancient Maya city of Uxmal is located in the southwest of the 
Yucatan Peninsula, exactly 78 kilometers from Merida. Some of its 
most important constructions are the Quadrangle of the Birds, the 
Quadrangle of the Nuns, and the Governor's Palace. From the top of 
the tallest building, the Magician's or Wizard's Palace we have a 
perfect view of the entire zone of México

Progreso
The Yucatán Península has 360 kilometers of coastline. Just 20 
minutes north of Mérida the Port of Progreso welcomes visitors with 
a warmth that characterizes the people of the Yucatan. Although the 
main economic activities are fishing, and a commercial port with 
Customs facilities, as of November of 2001 Progreso will also 
receive trans-Atlantic ships.
The malecon, or beach walk invites the visitor to relax and enjoy 
the view either from the sand or from one of the many restaurants 
and bars that line the walk. 
Progreso is well connected to the rest of the state by various means 
of transportation.

 Natural wells
Yucatecan life would not be the same without cenotes, natural 
freshwater springs formed from subterranean rivers. Their clear 
waters invite the adventurous to submerge their bodies in the 
cooling depths. However not all waters are crystalline or apt for a 
dip. Some of these, generally dangerous and difficult to reach, have 
been reserved by Nature for the wildlife of the area, especially 
bats.
Around and in the city of Merida there are numerous cenotes. One of 
the most beautiful is Xlacah, an open air cenote found at the 
archaeological site of Dzibilchaltun.
Legends, romances and brave deeds resound from the damp walls of the 
cenotes hidden from the light of the sun. To visit these cenotes 
usually found in caves, the tourist must have the services of a 
guide.
It is believed that in ancient times water known as "Zuhuy há", Maya 
for "virgin water", was drawn from the cenotes to prepare the foods 
used in certain religious ceremonies such as the Cha chaac, a ritual 
requesting rain and which required pure water that had not been seen 
by anybody.
