    Traveling While Black

    Some level of racism from the local population as some stared fairly often. Overall most were helpful to help especially with the language barrier. Other black people visiting were very warm and exciting to greet. Fruits and vegetables were great with few preservatives. Foodies will be pleasantly surprised by small, independent eateries with flavorful menu items. Meals are inexpensive/cheap away from centro. Accommodation prices are medium-low to high-average. A lot of options for transportation is available. Uber is available. There’s a growing black expat community. The weather is extremely hot most of the year so most social activities take place after sunset. A lot of ancient artifact monuments. Water holes (cenotes) are popular but most are privately-owned which can be an issue with proper land maintenance.

    Check out Flamante Burgers. Even if you’re vegetarian like me. (The Aguacate Veggie Burger is pictured).

    Progreso Beach is a short drive away and it’s excellent for a relaxing walk in the beach.

    Nice weather, friendly people and safe surroundings.

    It’s one of the places I’ve enjoyed the most in Mexico.

    Merida, Yucatan is such a beautiful and enchanting location. Mayan culture, Mexican vibes, world-class cuisine, with something to do every night! This place has quickly become a second home for me and a main home base for many others. Merida is safe and affordable. It is also very close to the beaches of Progreso and only a few hours away from Cancun, Tulum and Playa del Carmen. New world living with Old world charm!
