A Week in Merida

We decided to head to the Yucatan for a week to visit Merida and some surrounding Mayan sites and small villages.  We were there during carnival which was OK...but not our reason for going.

The highlight of the trip was a visit to Uxmal.

 At Celestun, the largest flocks of flamingos in North America. 

Izamal is a small magical village in the heart of the state of Yucatan. Well worth a visit. Take a bus from Merida or hire a driver and car for the day.

Don't miss the Museum of Anthropology and History, Palacio Canton, Merida.
