Surely you will sample many Yucatecan gastronomic delights, including Panuchos, Sopa de Lima, and Poc Chuc and tomales.
But if you only had time for ONE meal in Yucatán, it would have to be Cochinita Pibil: the pit-roasted pork which is marinated in achiote paste (made from annatto seeds and other spices) and bitter orange juice.
Served with pickled onions and hot tortillas, you will see it on every menu…and after you return home you will dream about it or maybe Salma Hayek! You will find this dish (Cochinita Pibil) everywhere, from markets to sophisticated restaurants in town, and haciendas all over Merida.

The Yucatán is famous for its bird watching. With great bird watching all year long because Merida is in the tropics, you will find more species in the winter because of the birds that migrate from the north to our warmer climates.
And if driving be sure to have plenty of windshield washer fluid in the car.
MACAY MUSEUM Permanent exhibitions of the work of Yucatecan artists, including additional paintings by Fernando Castro Pacheco.
