Mérida is the perfect base for discovering other treasures, including Mayan archeological sites, ports, and estuaries filled with flamingoes.
With warm weather and lush vegetation, this is also home to troubadour folk musicians, traditions, and warm and friendly people.
Mérida is located in the northwestern corner of the state of Yucatan, less than 31 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. To the east lies the state of Quintana Roo, and to the west is the state of Campeche. The Gulf of Mexico is to the north.
