Reviews

3/7/2010
Overall rating: 8

Yucatán, Mexico has an area of 38,402 sq km and a population of about 1,818,900. Its capital is Mérida.

Yucatan shares its boundaries with the Mexican states of Quintana Roo and Campeche and is bounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the north. The topography is dominated by its coastline along with a vast landscape of savannah-land.

Apart from a number of Spaniards and Creoles, the population of the state of Yucatán consists mainly of Maya Indians and Mestizos (mixed indigenous and foreign ancestry).

Merida 8
Merida is an enjoyable, educational, energetic and safe place to visit and live. It can be very hot the last part of April, all of May and the beginning of June before the rainy season begins. "Rainy season" is a little less hot, temperature-wise, and the rains usually pass quickly. Merida is one of the safest cities in Mexico. The Mayan influence is everywhere, which makes the area special.

Merida 7
Merida is an amazing place in México. There are many places to visit there, first the Mayan places like Chichen Itza, ruta puuc, uxmal or ek balam; also you can visit Meridas downtown, it's an open air place to hear music and eat yucatecan food (it is delicious). Don't forget to visit the Cenotes!!
