Merida!

Off we go on the next stop in my culinary tour of Mexico - Merida and despite a few days of bad weather on the front end from Tropical Depession Sara, I’m embracing this trip exactly like I did thirty years ago when I first visited Merida in my mid forties. In 2023, Merida revitalized the main streets that house some of the city’s best restaurants. Now, there are over 50 restaurants spread across two kilometers in the Corredor Gastronómico on Calle 47. You’ll know where to find me if you come looking. I will ride on the Mayan train while I’m there. Our travel agency, Viajes Vertiz at Insurgentes 63 had not booked a ticket on the Mayan train yet and mine was the first. How fun is that? Thanks to a lot of research done by intern, Kenia Ramirez, she is now the specialist on Tren Maya and you can book a ticket with them. I’m excited to see the progress first hand since they began the operation of the Campeche–Cancún line last December. In the mean time, give me any suggestions you have if you’ve recently been to Merida. Thanks for the insights on another amazing adventure; my third trip this year with Oaxaca in March; Guadalajara in August and now Merida in November. Happy trails!
