When you visit the city of Merida, you are able to enjoy a range of unique structures, some dating back centuries. There is so much to see and take in that you will need to consider having someone help you learn all about the area. A look around will not give you the true depth of what Merida is about. For that, consider booking one of the many tours that are available.

Some of the best options include the Chichen Itza Tour, the Dzibilichaltun Uaymitun & Progreso, and the Izamal Night Tour and Uxmal Light & Sound.

Perhaps the best place to get started is with the Chichen Itza Tour. This is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and makes for a unique place to spend a vacation. Here, you will find the beautiful and amazingly unique archaeological find. Millions of people come to see the Chac Mool Statue that is found here.

When you visit, you also will get to visit El Castillo which is an ancient pyramid where a unique experience happens during the Fall and Spring Equinoxes take place each year.

Next, take a tour of the Dzibilchaltun, Uaymitun, and the Progreso. Start off in Dzibilchaltun which is one of the most advanced astrological sites that the Mayan culture developed. It was well beyond its years and you'll enjoy visiting the Temple of the Seven Dolls. You get to travel through an underground rive too. Leaving there, you will visit Uaymitun where the sea is just off in the distance. There are many amazing birds that make this place their home including pink flamingos. Finally, visit Port Progreso where you can enjoy the water with a swim and relax on the beach.

Another tour to consider is the Uxmal Light & Sound. When you take this tour, you will get to experience the best of this region in Mexico. You'll be able to enjoy a tour of the ancient Mayan ceremonial center which is what Uxmal used to be.

You will get to visit the Pyramid of the Magician, the Quadrangle of the Nuns as well as visit the Governor's Palace. There is much to enjoy here, including dinner.

When visiting South Mexico, there may be no better place to enjoy it than in the ancient worlds that dominated here for so long. Spend the day at the beach after touring the area, or get in depth understandings of how life here used to be.
