You might have joined several Merida Free Walking Tours, but no trip to the city would be complete without a stroll under the trees along stately Montejo Avenue. As you walk its 6 km, you will find the trendiest shops, bars and restaurants in all of Yucatan. Along the way you can stop for a delicious 'nieve' (ice cream) or a 'marquesita' (crepes filled with cajeta and condensed milk). Reaching the end of the boulevard, you will find a particularly photogenic spot: the Monument to the Fatherland. Merida is also an ideal place to plan excursions to other parts of the Yucatan. The Santa Barbara cenotes are much less crowded than those in the south of the peninsula, and the entrance tickets are much cheaper! Here you can also book private one-day excursions to the stunning Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Kabah. Finally, Merida is the gateway to the beaches of northern Yucatan and the Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve.
