Merida is the capital city of the Yucatan State of Mexico. Though the famous Yucatan peninsula is best known for the tourist Mecca of Cancun, Merida has a unique cultural heritage and charm all of its own. Merida is an archeological goldmine, with many ancient sites and a rich cultural history that invites exploration. Merida was founded in the sixteenth century. The old charm can be seen in the white limestone that surrounds the region of this colonial city, which has evolved into a modern tourist metropolis without losing the old world appeal. Merida is a major Mexican city with great celebrations and religious traditions.
