Merida Travel Blogs - Page 3

totally amazing place to be. spent 2 hours wandering around the massive ruins and loved every minite of it! They were brilliant astronomers, mathematicians and builders. took a bus to Merida which is a little scarey. It is an old city built in colonial times but it nobody takes care of anything, th…

Accommodations and climate fare better in Merida.  It's not as humid in Merida and I score a tiny room at the Hotel del Peregrino which fuses bedroom area together with a shower, sink and  toilet into one room sans the typical separation wall between the bedroom and facilities  -- no…

Travelling the "Maya route" through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize with a group

A perfect combination of sun, beaches, cenote diving, Maya tempels and hill tribe culture. All on one peninsula!

As I said, our plan is to move on as quickly as possible. I still want to do a quick tour of the Archeological museum here which is supposed to have some beautiful artifacts from the surrounding Mayan ruins, including Calakmul, in particular jade jewelery and death masks. At lunch time we then want…

Welcome to my lovely circuit around the Latin world. I designed the trip around seeing a few of the rare wonders of the world that few people ever imagine experiencing. I hope you enjoy a vicarious thrill by following my short trip through the west coast of our Spanish speaking neighbors.

10 day Mayan Discovery trip with mum

The first stop in my adventure through the Yucatan Peninsula was the colonial city of Merida, which is located on the West coast of the peninsula. This is a photo of the cathedral in Merida.

Mexico is probably the country I've visited the most, so I've got a ton of shots. Most of these are in my professional portfolio as well.

Plenty to do in and around Merida.  Decided to give the ruins a miss as that would have been 5 in a row. So we went to visit some Cenote´s.  Basically limestone caverns fill with gloriously crystal clear water.  Great for a day of swimming and mucking about.      …

A short two week vacation to the Yucatan with some beaches, some ruins and hopefully lots of awesome food (and of course Mexican beers...)
