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!
