A weekend in Mérida: cenotes, haciendas and pan de cazón
Why Mérida has quietly become Mexico's favorite long-weekend city.
Mérida is the easiest cultural weekend in Mexico right now. Safe, walkable, full of food, and an hour from a cenote in almost any direction.
Saturday
Breakfast at Manjar Blanco — try the pan de cazón. Walk Paseo de Montejo. Lunch at Apoala on Plaza Santa Lucía. Afternoon at the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya. Mezcal at La Negrita.
Sunday
Cenote morning — Cuzamá or Homún. Hacienda lunch at Sotuta de Peón. Sunset cocktail at Rosas & Xocolate.
