Merida Vacation Rentals, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Merida is the hub of the Yucatan Peninsula and has a rich cultural heritage, powerful colonial presence, and modern international flair. Visitors love Merida for the sightseeing, Mayan art and just relaxing. Though it is a bustling city of 725,000, it has retained its charm and laid-back tempo, and visitors return again and again to their favorite restaurants, neighborhoods and museums. It is an exceptionally clean city, where workers strive daily to maintain its reputation as “The White City.” Merida is the cultural and intellectual center of the Yucatan Peninsula, with historical palaces, cathedrals and plazas. It holds many government-sponsored music and dance performances, as well as sidewalk art shows in local parks. With European influences and lots of style, Merida has, in fact, become known as the “Paris of the West.” The Mayan archaeological sites of Chichen-Itza and Uxmal, pink flamingo sanctuaries and swimmable cenotes (sinkholes), some found in caves with centuries old stalactite formations, are just a few of the other attractions found near Merida. If you are interested in Mexican handicrafts, the Casa de Artesanias sells folk art from throughout Mexico, including wooden mythical animals from Oaxaca, leather bags, embroidered clothing, and much more. Culturally, this is one of the richest parts of Mexico, and a fascinating place to visit.
