Today, I'm sharing a super detailed travel guide to Merida 📖 📍Attractions 🌟Merida Main Square: This is the heart of the city, surrounded by colonial-style architecture. Visit the churches during the day and experience the local life in the square at night—it's incredibly vibrant🎇 🌟Chichen Itza: Although not in Merida city, it's a must-see marvel of the Mayan civilization.
