Mérida: city house to hacienda
Begin with three nights in Centro, where Mérida is outside the door. Then move north to Xcanatún for gardens, pools and the slower frame of a former henequen estate.

Why this journey works
One region, two rhythms.
The move is short, but the experience changes completely: first a small house for understanding Mérida on foot, then a garden hacienda for letting Yucatán open outward.

- Read the city along Paseo de Montejo
Drive
