Why Mérida?
Mérida, "the White City"
Mérida is distinguished for being a city full of peace, calm and for its kind and hospitable people.
It is the ideal place for those who want to spend a vacation in a relaxed atmosphere and with a warm climate. Mérida was founded on January 6, 1542, and built on the Mayan city of Toh , which can be seen in the surroundings of its Plaza Grande, since its history, influence and culture were reflected in its architecture. Walking through its streets in an atmosphere of history and fun is what our beautiful Mérida offers you.
