Best Things to Do in Yucatan

The Yucatan Peninsula is a vast open coastal part of the country filled with tropical beaches, wildlife, and some worth watching Mayan ruins.

As you may know, Chichen Itza remains the centerpiece of Mayan ruins, attracting over 1.5 million visitors daily. Alma’s LDS Tours is here to help you get your next adventure booked.

Las Coloradas, Akumal Beach, strolling in Merida, visiting the dreamy Holbox, strolling the streets of Izamal, also known as The Yellow Town, swimming in beautiful cenotes, and walking the La Quinta Avenida are some of the great options you can plan to visit while in the Yucatan region.

Merida

As the capital of Yucatan, Merida has preserved a colonial charm over the years for its visitors. The city has also upheld some great old traditions, which have become an excellent source of attraction for international visitors. This historical town was established in 1542 by the Spanish conquistadors, who left a lot of history in the town. The city of Merida is known for being Yucatan’s commercial and cultural hub. The charm of this city relies on its vintage appeal, the mix of colonial and modern architecture, the richness of its historical places, and the culture make Merida a must to visit. Plaza de la Independencia is an excellent place to stroll day and night. Municipal Market near the Plaza is a favorite spot of all visitors for its worth buying products like locally produced hammocks and Panama hats. Heres is a list of some of the main spots Alma’s LDS Tours can take you to explore:

  • Mayan World Museum is one of Mexico’s most essential and primarily visited spots, which has become a true representative of its culture and history.
  • Merida Downtown.
