Take a Yucatan Cuisine cooking class
In love with the cuisine? Find a private or group class to learn how to make the regional Yucantan food. We've had luck with Viator or AirBnB Experiences for options
Visit the City
If you head into the city from the Hacienda, you can head to the Merida sign, visit the Cathedral and stroll down Calle 47 for a cocktail/snack/shopping. You can incorporate this into the visit to the Monumento a La Patrina
Monumento a La Patria
Circular, Mayan-style homage to Mexican history by Colombian artist Rómulo Rozo & lit up at night.
Visit Chichén-Itzá
Chichen-Itza is a huge Mayan archeological site approx 1.5 hours outside of Merida, en route to Cancun. You can either rent a car or hire a tour-guide. If this is something of interest, there are some awesome cenotes on the way to swim in!
Cenotes Cozuma
Recommended for adventure-seekers! Cozuma is a small town approx 1 hour outside of Downtown Merida. You can either rent a car or hire a tour guide. It has three cenotes on the property and a horse train to move you throughout. Tour takes about 3 hours to complete.
Plaza Americana
Head down to the first floor of the Fiesta Americana Hotel to buy a linen outfit (aka guayabera)
Paseo de Montejo
Take a stroll down Paseo de Montejo and try a marquesita (native Yucatan dessert)
