Best Day Trips from Merida, Mexico! (Izamal 'The Yellow City' Vlog)

One of the absolute best things about living in Mérida, Yucatán has been the weekend and day trips hands down!

Since moving to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, we've visited some really amazing places that make our all-time favorites list.

Our time living in Mexico as expats (or migrants, or digital nomads) has been split between Valladolid and Merida so far. During this time we've been able to take day or weekend trips to Celestun, Progreso, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Homun, Campeche, and of course, Izamal! We've got videos out about our trip to Celestun and Progreso, stay tuned for more! In fact, we'll soon be going from yellow to blue! :)
In this video, we give you a preview of a cenote paradise with crystal clear blue water swimming holes that's also very close to Merida and one of our absolute favorite ways to cool off!

They're all so incredibly unique and amazing in so many different ways, we can't really pick a favorite but Izamal is definitely way up there!

We love visiting places that offer things that you just can't find anywhere else. Izamal has SO many things that make it stand out and yet it's so underrated! Where else can you find a vibrant yellow city with the ruins of FIVE Maya pyramids right in town?! To add to that, the world's second-largest Atrium (after the Vatican), the fact that one of the Maya pyramids is the 3rd largest pre-Hispanic structure in all of Mexico, and that it's possible that Izamal is the oldest city in Yucatán! All just a 45-minute drive from Merida!

It's incredible and truly has a spirit and history that's all it's own! You definitely should not miss a trip when anywhere in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Thanks for watching and if you enjoyed the video, we'd love it if you would comment, like, and subscribe! We hope to hear from you all! :)
