Merida's climate is hot and humid, the average temperature in December is 23 °C (73 °F). There is a low probability of rainfall by the end of the year.
Prepare light clothing, comfortable shoes, hat or cap. We recommend the use of sunscreen and that you carry water with you at all times to stay well hydrated.
We suggest you rent a car, move around by Uber and/or buy the event transport ticket when its ready. The only general advice would be to avoid traveling long distances by night.
Tourism, Cultural Heritage and Natural Wonders
Merida is known for its safe and secure environment, friendly and hospitality of the people.
There are several archaeological sites closer than 120 kilometers, many museums, and historical landmarks.
There are natural reserves, stunning beaches and cenotes (natural waterholes) nearby, which are a byproduct of a metheor crash in nearby Chixchulub. This metheor is considered the cause of the dinosaurs extintion.
We are grateful to host Longchenpa's transmission in Mayan land.
