Description

Your adventure begins at a time that suits you, as we will pick you up from your hotel to embark on this personalized journey through Merida. Join us as we wander through the picturesque old town, accompanied by a dedicated guide just for you!

We will commence our exploration with a visit to Santa Lucia Park and a leisurely stroll along the avenues surrounding the Zócalo (the city's main square). This walk will bring us to the Yucatan Cathedral, noted as the oldest cathedral in Mexico. Here, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the Door of Forgiveness, framed beautifully by columns and showcasing the images of St. Peter and St. Paul.

Continuing through the Zócalo, we will uncover the significance of a unique feature: the "sillas confidentes". This leads us to a discussion about T'Hó, the ancient Mayan city upon which modern Merida was established.

As we progress, we will admire the exterior of the Montejo house, an example of Plateresque architecture constructed by Spanish colonizers.

Before concluding our tour, we will visit the Canton Palace, an eclectic mansion reflecting French influence from the early 20th century. A stop in front of the grand Monumento a la Patria (Homeland Monument), adorned with 300 figures representing crucial moments in Mexico's history, is certainly not to be missed!

After approximately 2 hours, we will conclude this private tour of Merida and return you to your hotel.
