Visitor's Guide
You are about to embark on an adventure filled time learning all about the magical city of Mérida. There’s so much to see, do, and experience here - there’s truly something for everyone.
There’s something about this magical city that’s hard to describe. It’s a feeling. It’s an energy. It’s a fusion of cultures, history, and surprises. People feel it, or they don’t. They love it, or they don’t. For those of us that feel it and love it, Mérida is enchanting. I find something new to fall in love with every single day.
My husband, Angel who has lived here since 1993, and I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to be able to help others learn and experience the beauty, the magic, and the uniqueness of the city and country we call home.
Remember that our hot months are Mid-April through Mid-October. Hurricane season is May through September. In September we experience lots of rain, showers, thunderstorms, mosquitoes, & power outages. Take special care if you choose to visit at this time.
Since 2020, we’ve vetted and established relationships with vendors, professionals, and service providers for just about all categories anyone would need. We’ve included some of our favorites here.

It’s a good practice to add the Google Translate extension to your browser. It will save time and frustration when trying to navigate and understand information and websites that are in Spanish only. Enjoy and Buena Suerte!
