Travel Mexico - Merida

Merida is Known as the "White City" because of the large use of white limestone and white paint. This traditional city depicts much of the splendor of Colonial Mexico.

Merida is nothing like Cancun or Playa del Carmen, but if you want to experience Mexican culture while staying relatively close to the Caribbean Sea then Merida is a great place to go. There are lots of interesting shops to browse in, if you seek some familiarity, the Merida WalMart is well stocked and also has a food-court.

Being centrally located, Merida is a practical hub to explore numerous ruin sites and ecological wonders. There are also two highways connecting Cancun and Merida plus many roads winding their way through the jungle from Tulum.
