Mérida Urban Adventures
Day tours, with a local
Mérida Urban Adventures is your best choice for travellers to experience the culture and rich history of the majestic land. The Yucatan is the heartland, and Mérida is the gateway to the Mayan culture. During a Mérida tour, travellers are able to find iconic attractions, like the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Uxmal, natural beauties, like the pink Flamingo at Celestun National Park. Or experience a tour in Mérida through Mayan living when visiting local communities or tasting the rich and traditional cuisine.
Taking a guided tour in Mérida will have you discover the mystery of the Mayan people, learning their knowledge of the cosmos through their fantastic buildings. Deep into the jungle you’ll find their sources of water, the natural wells called cenotes where you will be able to swim and connect yourself to those ancient times when Mayans believed those pools were the doorway to the spiritual underground world.
While you're finished enjoying your Mérida sightseeing tour, check out some of our other tours offered by our North American destination partners such as New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, or our Caribbean destinations Dominica and St. Lucia.

08 Oct 2012 My friend and I saw all the good reviews and decided to spend our last day in Merida learning to cook our favorite Yucatan dish—Pollo Pibil. We met Jorge at the Hotel Caribe (which is in a beautiful little plaza). We were lucky that his wife Alejandra could join us that day too. He gave us an informative tour of the Centro as we weaved our way to the Mercado to buy the ingredients we'd need for the day. I cannot begin to describe all the smells and colors and sounds of market. We learned about the different chiles and unfamiliar fruits. He was so patient as we asked about every little thing we saw. We were adventurous and had a tasting test at the fried meat section...I won't spoil it for you...just try everything! We took a local bus to the chef Laura's home. It was lovely and inviting. We dove right into chopping vegetables and cutting banana leaves from the back yard for the chicken pibil and sopa de lima and crema de coco for dessert. Oh my, I can still taste it! SOOO delicious. Laura was really sweet and a wonderful cook. AND the funny thing? We saw her later that night at the Simfonica de Yucatan—all of us waving across the balcony like old friends. I really recommend doing this if you want a real taste of yucatan cuisine that's quite easy to fix when you get back home.
