Welcome to the cultural and political capital of the Yucatan Peninsula: Mérida. The city's narrow cobbled streets, grand plazas, and excellent museums are steeped in colonial history, and outside of town, the rest of the Yucatan beckons. See the best of the city and discover the Yucatan's lesser-known Mayan ruins and natural attractions on a private Merida tour.

Start your morning with a stroll through the Plaza Grande, which is lined with some of Merida's finest architectural treasures. Your guide will show you the 16th century Catedral de San Ildefonso, built on the site of a former Maya temple, the Casa de Montejo and Palacio Municipal. Outside the city, take a drive along the Ruta Puuc, which leads to the Maya ruins of Sayil, Xlapak, Labná, and the Grutas de Loltún. Another option: visit local mercados and stunning cenote caves.

At the end of your private Merida tour, your guide will be happy to recommend the best museums and restaurants to enjoy during the rest of your stay.
