Life in Yucatán: the magazine for moving to and living in Mérida

Life in Yucatán is a window onto the peninsula: a digital magazine for people thinking of moving to Mérida, already living here, or wanting to get to know this part of Mexico better. We gather practical tips, stories of Yucatecan culture and guides to make starting over in Yucatán easier.

What you’ll find

  • Moving to Mérida — real estate, neighbourhoods, paperwork and everything to know before and after the move.
  • Tourism — beaches, cenotes, magical towns and archaeological sites near the city.
  • Yucatecan culturebombas, expressions, traditions, crafts and history.
  • Eating and going out — cochinita, markets, cantinas, cafés and where to eat well.
  • Living here — climate, home, finances, technology and daily life in the White City.

Life in Yucatán is written by Jaime from Mérida. If you have a proposal, a correction or a question, write to us from the contact page. You can also advertise with us or promote a property.
