Merida is a modern city, where culture reigns supreme and the historical center is carefully preserved. Valladolid, in eastern Yucatan, is an international trade hub and Oxkutzcab, in southern Yucatan, is home to Yucatan’s Orange Festival. Each can offer all the comforts of the 21st century with Mayan and Colonial history.

A thirty minute drive from Merida will take you to the beautiful shores of the Yucatan Peninsula, also known as The Emeraldo Coast or The Flamingo Coast. You’ll find white sand beaches and blue waters while relaxing on this charming coastline, a real Yucatan real estate paradise.

Country Life revolves around the local church, charro (horseman) activities, and music. Evening walks to the village plaza are the highlight of the day and the art of the siesta lives on. Today, with larger towns and cities nearby, its easier than ever to be quite comfortable in a village in Yucatan.
