If there is any place in the Yucatán Peninsula [1] where you are certain to find something that you absolutely cannot resist, it’s Mérida [2]. From small family-run stores to rambling artesanía markets, Mérida attracts the treasures of the region: hammocks, guayaberas, huipiles, handcrafted toys, ceramic figurines, jipi hats, and Maya replicas.
Explore the markets and peek into sidewalk stores, and you’re sure to find the beauties that are made in this part of the world.
