Merida,
the contemporary capital of the Mayan Yucatan, is a delightful modern city. Here, Spanish
and French Colonial influences combine with a Mayan heritage. In this 450 year-old city,
the people of Merida cherish the culture of the past.
There is much to see in Merida. In the shadows of colonial stucco buildings you find
Parisian-type sidewalk cafes and 16th Century Spanish courtyards. A horse-drawn carriage
or "calesa" takes you along the wide, tree-shaded boulevards.
Visit the Centenario Zoo, the Museum of Archeology of the three story Mercado
- where
you'll find an array of Mexican handicrafts at good prices. Drive a short distance from
the city and explore the legendary ruins at Chichen Itza and Uxmal.
