About Mérida
Merida is the largest city
on the Yucatan Peninsula. It attracts visitors interested in historic
sightseeing, shopping for Mayan art and relaxing. Though a bustling city
of about 700,000, Merida retains its colonial charm and has a laid-back
tempo that delights visitors. It makes a good base from which to explore
the Mayan archaeological sites of Chichen-Itza and Uxmal. Pink flamingo
sanctuaries and swimmable crystal-clear cenotes (sinkholes) are some
natural attractions that are easily accessible from Merida. Some of the
cenotes are found in caves with centuries-old stalactite formations. Early
in this century Merida attracted a large number of Syrian and Lebanese
settlers, whose influence is seen in the architecture, and particularly in
the cuisine offered at many restaurants. Websites about Mérida:
