From Kelvin's guidebook

Tucked away amidst the lush landscape of Yucatán, the Cenotes at Hacienda Mucuyché offer a surreal escape into nature's hidden wonders. These cenotes, ancient natural sinkholes filled with pristine waters, have been part of Mayan history and spirituality for centuries. The Hacienda Mucuyché, in particular, houses two breathtaking cenotes: Cenote Carlota and Cenote Azul. While Cenote Carlota boasts impressive rock formations and crystal-clear waters, Cenote Azul is surrounded by a curtain of verdant vegetation, creating an ethereal atmosphere as light filters through the trees. Both offer a refreshing dip in their cool waters, a balm for Yucatán's tropical heat. Beyond just the cenotes, the hacienda itself stands as a relic of the region's henequen-producing past. Its beautifully restored buildings and gardens provide a peek into the life and luxury of the Yucatecan elite during the henequen boom. Tip: Start your visit early to avoid crowds and truly soak in the serene ambiance of the cenotes. Remember to wear eco-friendly sunscreen and repellent to protect both yourself and the delicate ecosystem of the cenotes. Guided tours are often available and provide valuable insights into the history and geology of the place. Post-swim, relax, and enjoy a local snack or beverage at the hacienda's onsite café, making the most of this enchanting hideaway. Conveniently located 1 hour from Makou Apartments.

To the south of Yucatán, the archaeological site of Uxmal emerges spectacularly, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the archaeological sites of the Mayan culture, known for having some of the most majestic architecture in Yucatán. Its beauty is characterized by low, horizontal palaces arranged around courtyards or quadrangles, which are rich in detailed sculptures made from thousands of perfectly polished and fitted small stones, forming geometric mosaics of unmatched perfection in the entire Mayan area. It is said that the city of Uxmal was founded by the Xiues tribe. The occupation of the site dates back to the Late Preclassic period B.C., however, the majority of the construction was carried out during the Late Classic period (600-1000 A.D.). It had a population of approximately 20,000 inhabitants.

From Paulette's guidebook

If you're up for a bit of adventure, take a drive down the Ruta Puuc, about 50 miles south of Mérida. It's this route that connects five amazing Maya ruins: Labná, Xlapak, Sayil, Kabah, and Uxmal. It's a popular day trip and you can get there by rental car, bus, or even an organized tour. If you've got time, staying overnight in Santa Elena is a great idea because it gives you more time to explore each site. Each ruin has its own style, but Uxmal is the real standout – it's one of the great Maya cities with huge temples and incredible carvings of animal deities. It rivals Chichen Itza. And if you're there in the evening, don't miss the light-and-sound show at Uxmal. It's pretty spectacular to see the ruins lit up.

Gloria

From Gloria's guidebook

Uxmal is known for its stunning architecture, especially the Pyramid of the Magician and the intricate stone carvings throughout the site. It’s less crowded than Chichén Itzá, making it a more relaxed and magical experience.

If you're into history, you've got to visit Mérida's archaeological museums. They're right in the middle of the Maya world, so they're pretty amazing. The big one to see is the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya. It's this world-class museum with cool multi-media exhibits about the ancient and modern Maya. They've got over 1,100 artifacts, like painted ceramics, ceremonial stuff, and some really detailed sculptures. And check out the building itself – it's shaped like a ceiba tree, which is sacred to the Maya. Plus, on weekend evenings, they have a Maya-themed light-and-sound show on the outside walls. It's pretty cool and free to watch.

From Katyna's guidebook

Saturday – Pok ta Pok (Mayan Ball Game) and Mexican Night Explanade of the Cathedral of San Ildefonso – Remate Paseo de Montejo Pok ta Pok is a Mayan representation of cosmic cycles to ask for fertility and please the gods. In it, two teams compete to pass a solid rubber ball through a narrow hoop situated almost three meters high, and players can only touch it with their forearms, knees, and hips. Mexican night features performers who each week enrich the traditional celebration with music, voices, and traditional dances from other states and regions of the country. Singers, composers, dancers, actors, and interpreters are numerous guests; the stage is the so-called "remate" or "beginning" of Paseo de Montejo.

This is my number one recommendation for food in Merida. This place serves authentic Yucatecan and Mayan dishes that are just to die for. There are two locations in Merida: the first on Calle 62, two blocks north of Plaza Grande, and the second on Calle 55, across from Parque Santa Lucia. You’ve got to try the Cochinita Pibil (Pork, marinated in sour-orange juice and cooked in a banana leaf), the fresh, hand-made tortillas, and the Sikil Pak (an amazing dip made of ground pumpkin seed).

This is a truly local restaurant. Food and clientele are very yucatecan. Lots of families with children. At the back it has an exhibition of a Mayan hut with cooking artifacts. Hostess are dressed up with the local festivity dress and hairdo. It's a busy place. I recommend making a reservation. Go with plenty of time. It can be very loud and service can be slow. Still I recommend to go once on your trip. Lunch is a good option. Food is ok. A bit on the salty side. In general I find the food in restaurants in Merida is on the salty side.

Today this is called Paseo de Montejo and was built between 1886 and 1905. It was inspired by the Champs Elysees in Paris and named after the founder of the city of Mérida, Francisco de Montejo and Leon, "El Mozo". In this beautiful Avenue you can find some of the most famous landmarks of the city such as the Twin Houses or Casa Camara, the imposing Canton Palace, the Peon del Minarete house, the Peon de Regil house, the Quinta Montes Molina, the monuments to Justo Sierra and Felipe Carrillo Puerto, and the famous Homeland Monument (Monumento a la Patria) which is one of the most important symbols of the city, conducted by the Colombian master Rómulo Rozo.
