A Sunday in the agaves. The last few weeks, we ha A Sunday in the agaves. The last few weeks, we have been getting out in the hills for walks and it has been so so nice. Last weekend we went to one of my absolute fav places. So peaceful, so green.
POV - you wake up in an antique mansion in Mexico POV - you wake up in an antique mansion in Mexico City and stroll through the downstairs rooms on your way to your morning coffee. @elpatio77 (hosted) Every room has its own personality, decor and vibe. It’s one of the most special places to stay in CDMX.
Rarely have i visited a place that I felt so trans Rarely have i visited a place that I felt so transported from one moment to the next. Stepping off the ferry onto Holbox island, you feel almost like you’re in another country. And the still flat water (even during rainy season) felt otherworldly to me. Here are some glimpses of streets, corners and beaches.
One of my favorite places we visited near Isla Hol One of my favorite places we visited near Isla Holbox 👇 Cenote Yalahau is a natural fresh water pool surrounded by trees and lush jungle. To reach it you have take a boat from Isla Holbox, as it’s actually located on the mainland. This is one of the sites visited on the 3 island tour. (We took ours with @my.holbox.tours ). You can climb up to a gazebo look out point to get a Birds Eye view of the cenote and the surrounding jungle. Then go swimming in the crisp clear water. You’re required to wear a life vest when swimming, as to not disturb the floor of the cenote. This actually turned out to be pretty magical in itself as you are just floating in the clearest turquoise water. So peaceful.
Is this the best hotel in Merida? 1. Incredibly b Is this the best hotel in Merida? 1. Incredibly beautiful ✨tile, lush greenery, dreamy pool, colonial central courtyard 2. So comfortable
🛏️ high quality bedding and linens 3. Tons of luxurious amenities
☕️In-room espresso machine, comfy robes, open tequila/mezcal bar, high quality honor bar beverages, daily treats, 5 star breakfast 4. Welcoming and attentive staff
🙂Every detail covered, welcome snacks and tour, assistance at any time. 5. Perfect central location but quiet
📍Less than 10 blocks from the Zocalo of Merida, yet on a quiet side street I really can’t think of one bad thing to say about @thehoteldiplomat (hosted). Truly one of my favorite hotel experiences over my 8 years of reviewing hotels. Highly recommend for an exceptional stay in Merida.
Uxmal - lesser visited and large, important Mayan Uxmal - lesser visited and large, important Mayan archeological site close to Mérida. Uxmal is only a one hour and 15 minute drive from Mérida and has a fraction of the visitors that Chichén Itzá gets (we only shared the site with a handful of other people on a Sunday morning). It’s considered one of the most important Mayan sites in México alongside Chichén Itzá and Palenque and representative of the region’s dominant architectural style. This site was built in 700 AD and is located in a sprawling natural area filled with trees, grass, and lots of iguanas. A very easy and impressive day trip from Merida.
An unmissable restaurant in Merida - get ready fo An unmissable restaurant in Merida - get ready for an onslaught of delicious food. @holoch.mx - the Mayan word for corn husk - is a beautiful restaurant focused on preserving the traditional dishes and methods of Yucatecan cuisine and merging them with modern interpretations. (hosted) Passion is what comes to mind when understanding the concept and each person’s role in the restaurant. Everyone is brimming with knowledge and inspiration, and eager to share it. We were fortunate enough to taste 3 stellar menu items + a dessert + 4 cocktails (2 each, but we shared!) First up - esquites but they are cooked in an in ground oven in cochinita pibil broth for 24 hours. 😮 Served with queso cotija, crema ácida and cebolla morada. Perfect. I could eat every day. Second - grilled cauliflower - sitting atop a layer of creamy pumpkin seed sauce, topped with false Parmesan made of walnuts, and drizzled with salsa matcha. Third - pork belly tacos - these incredible tacos have won the awards. Slow cooked for 7hrs. Served atop sweet potato purée, and topped with longaniza (sausage) from Valladolid. Finally - the dessert, Chetumal cake. A cheesecake made from queso Patégras (similar to Edam, hence why it arrived in Mexico via Chetumal, which borders Belize). I highly recommend Holoch if you visit Merida. Not only is it a beautiful space with delicious food, but you’ll get to experience traditional dishes and ingredients through the creative minds of their chef, Obed Reyes, and talented staff.
Arturo and Saby’s first cenote 💙 There are a Arturo and Saby’s first cenote 💙 There are at least 6000 cenotes in the Yucatán peninsula - natural underground pools filled with the clearest turquoise water. They’re usually located in caves so the reveal is incredible as you climb down and are greeted to a magical underground world. My one regret is that we didn’t go to more this trip. Next time.
[ES en subtitulos] Come on a road trip with us fro [ES en subtitulos] Come on a road trip with us from Mérida in the Yucatán of Mexico. We spent the day visiting Mayan archeological sites, cenotes and eating traditional food. We rented a car from @rtcarrentalmerida (hosted) which made it easy for us to get around Merida as well as visit amazing places around the peninsula. First up we went to Uxmal. This site is highly underrated, it’s beautiful and impressive, a large site featuring unique rounded structures, intricate carvings and lush green nature and trees. Arrive early to beat the crowds, though this site is much less visited than nearby Chichen Itza. Next up we visited some cenotes. There are so many to choose from. A few ideas in this region include: Kankirixche, Mucuyché, Yaal Utzil, X’batun, Dzonbacal, Homunja, Mani-Chan, and Santa Barbara. Bring a towel. Most cenotes charge an entrance fee and have life jackets for rent and changing rooms/bathrooms. Next up we ate a traditional lunch in a village including cochnita pibil, relleno negro, and empanadas de chaya. Our day was cut short by rain, but there are plenty of other stops you can do on this route. Other ideas - visit the market in Muna and tour the hacienda at Yaxcopoil, plus the many cenotes above. Renting a car with @rtcarrentalmerida made it so easy to leave when we wanted, stop along the way when we saw something interesting, and then change our plans when the unexpected rainstorm came through. If you’re visiting Merida, I highly recommend you dedicate at least 1-2 days to day trip to the many interesting historical and natural sites in this area. And consider a Merida car rental as it makes your day much more flexible and gives you freedom to make your own schedule. Our car was clean, easy to drive and the service was super smooth and pleasant.
