Colonial Charm and Sensational Culture

Merida is a city where the past harmoniously intertwines with the present, and cultural delights await at every corner.

Found in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, Merida is marked by its rich colonial heritage, effervescent cultural scene, and warm hospitality,

Begin your journey at the Plaza Grande, the bustling main square of Merida. Here, you'll find the iconic Merida Cathedral, a majestic structure that stands as a testament to the city's colonial past. Take a leisurely stroll, admire the stunning architecture, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this central gathering place.

Explore the elegant Paseo de Montejo, lined with beautiful mansions and grand buildings reminiscent of the French influence in the city's history. This charming boulevard offers a glimpse into Merida's wealthy past and is perfect for a leisurely walk or a bike ride to marvel at the architectural brilliance.

Indulge your senses at the Mercado Lucas de Galvez, a bustling local market brimming with colours, flavours, and aromas. Taste authentic Yucatecan dishes, like cochinita pibil and papadzules, and browse through stalls filled with handicrafts, fresh produce, and souvenirs. This scintillating market is a true reflection of Merida's cultural richness.

Learn the secrets of ancient Mayan civilization at the Mayan World Museum. Through its impressive exhibits and artifacts, gain insight into the history, art, and traditions of this remarkable culture that once thrived in the region. It's an entertaining journey into the mysteries of the Yucatan Peninsula's past.

Venture beyond the city to explore the historic haciendas, once opulent estates that played a crucial role in the Yucatan's henequen industry. Many of these architectural gems have been converted into luxurious boutique hotels, offering a unique opportunity to experience the region's colonial heritage firsthand.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
