Merida
A colonial capital built from the stones of the Mayan city it replaced, cenotes and ruins at Uxmal a manageable day trip out, and a Sunday tradition that closes the main streets for markets, dancing and food stalls.
The best time to visit Merida is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 35°C (95°F). Local time there is 02:07 (UTC-6).
