What you can expect

  • Begin your tour in front of Casa Montejo, an emblematic 16th-century building that was home to the city's founders and a symbol of the colonial era. Just a few steps away, visit the Cathedral of San Ildefonso, the first cathedral built on the continental Americas, a majestic testament to Mérida's colonial past.

    Continue to the Government Palace, famous for the murals by Fernando Castro Pacheco, which narrate the history and resistance of the Mayan people. Afterwards, stop in front of the Gran Hotel, an elegant Porfirian building that evokes the splendour of Mérida at the beginning of the 20th century.

    Proceed to the Church of Jesus of the Third Order, a colonial gem recognised for its impressive baroque altarpiece and its connection with the Franciscan order. Its construction used fragments of ancient Mayan temples that were destroyed, reflecting the encounter between two worlds.

    Next, visit the José Peón Contreras Theatre, the most famous in Yucatán, a 19th-century architectural jewel and the venue of the First Feminist Congress of Latin America. Very close by, visit the Rectory of the Autonomous University of Yucatán, a historic building that represents the academic and cultural value of the region.

    Conclude at Santa Lucía Park, a place full of life and tradition where you can enjoy the local atmosphere, serenades, and folklore that make Mérida an unforgettable city.
