Merida travel guide.
Mérida, Mexico Business trip sharing. Merida is the capital of Yucatan, the birthplace of Mayan culture, and is full of Mayan civilization-themed souvenirs and clothing.
Merida itself is a small city and is said to be the safest city in Mexico.
There were literally police everywhere (Figure 5).
It was also my first time on a business trip to Latin America to wander around alone at 22:00 at night.
In the past two days, I only took a quick tour of the city.
We recommend the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya, a Mayan-themed museum in the urban area, where you can gain an in-depth understanding of Mayan culture.
Tickets are 150 pesos.
Tips: It is recommended to download Google Translate in advance. It will be faster to directly translate the image and read the introduction.
If you are traveling here, it is recommended to book a one-day tour.
(Around 1,000 pesos), nearby attractions include: Cenote,
Mayan civilization ruins Uxmal, Mayan pyramid Chichenitza.
Hotel Hacienda Merida
The Hacienda here is a special hotel (Pictures 8 and 9).
Very local style and nice environment.
It is within walking distance from the Grand Square and 3 kilometers from the Convention and Exhibition Center. The hotel does not have toothbrush and toothpaste, please bring your own.

Ordered the Octopus and Shrimp Taco, both dishes were good.
The octopus is paired with sweet potatoes, which is sweet.

The name of the dish ordered was Molcajete Yucatec. Molcajeje is a container used by locals to make sauce.
This dish contains grilled bananas, onions, grilled meat, avocado, radishes, and sausage.
The taste is average, the best thing is the grilled banana hahahaha.
Museum of Yucateca Gastronomy Museo (Figure 4)
A restaurant with a museum of Mayan food culture.
It seems that the Mayan people's cooking is average, and the meat is very poor.
After the meal, we visited the museum and bought local honey as a souvenir.
