There is far more to Merida than its many great beaches and coastal areas. Merida is a charming town, rich with history and culture. With the Dizibilchaltun and Progreso Tour, you can explore the area's interesting history and natural areas, giving you a chance to get to know the real Merida. On this tour, your friendly tour guide will pick you up from your Merida area hotel in a comfortable tour van, and you will travel through the city streets and country roads to Dizibilchaltun, a magnificent Mayan ruins area. The first site you will see is the Museum of the Mayan People, which gives you an in-depth look at the lives and history of the Mayan people through artifacts and displays. You can also take a winding path to the ruins, passing Mayan statues until you reach the beautiful Temple of the Seven Dolls. There is also a beautiful cenote there, an underwater river, that makes a great spot for cooling off with a dip or taking some photos. The next stop is the natural area known as Uaymitun, where you can take some time to explore the natural wildlife of the area, including pink flamingos and a variety of other birds.
After visiting Uaymitun, the tour moves on to Port Progreso, where you will have time to swim and sunbathe on the gorgeous beaches, giving you the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind after a great day of sightseeing.
