But the highlight of a Meridaexcursion is exploring the jewel of the ancient Mayan ruins – Chichen-Itza and Uxmal. These aremonuments to a thriving culture that mysteriously disappeared into the folds of time.

The colonial era architecturecombined with the rich Mayan heritage give Merida a distinction all its own. In fact, the Cathedral of San Ildefonso was founded with massive stones taken directly from the Mayan pyramids.
