Visit the Mayan Ruins

There are many Mayan ruin sites all throughout the Yucatan peninsula. Chichen Itza is the most famous Mayan ruins near Merida. It boasts several accolades such as being the largest Mayan archaeological site in the Yucatan, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Being that Chichen Itza is so famous, expect it to also be very busy.

Another great Mayan ruin is Uxmal. The Mayan ruins of Uxmal is the other major Mayan ruin site within easy reach of Merida. This ancient Mayan site, built between 700 – 1,000 AD, was a massive city of 25, 000 people living there in the dry jungle of the Yucatan. Today the well-preserved ruins give a glimpse deep into Mayan history, allowing visitors to immerse themselves throughout the intricate complex. And unlike Chichen Itza, you can actually climb the ruins at Uxmal. These ruins are much less visited than Chichen Itza but it’s always best to go early to beat the heat.

Another great beach is Celestun. This is a sleepy fishing town on the western side of the Yucatan peninsula. The beaches are nice and you will likely have them all to yourself.
