Yucatan is one of Mexico's most tranquil and safest states, with a climate that resembles that of Florida or Cuba. Yucatecans are genuine, relaxed and hospitable people who have strong roots and traditions. They take pride in their city, known as "The White City", not only for the predominance of white limestone as a building material, but because of its streets, plazas and parks that are cleaned daily.

Merida, a city of about 1 million people, is a wonderful mixture of a colonial city and a cosmopolitan destination. With Merida as your base, you can visit cathedrals and churches, Mayan ruins, museums, haciendas and cenotes, as well as having world-class shopping and superb dining available.

Easy day trips include the ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Dzibilchaltun - each site offers its own unique view into a mystical Mayan culture; the uncrowded beaches of Celestun and Progreso; the beautiful colonial town of Izamal with its egg yoke-colored buildings; small villages like Ticul, rich with crafts, and exploring the restored haciendas of Temozon, Xcanatun and Yaxcopoil.  All these excursions are well within a half a tank of petrol from La Casita del Paseo.

Weather you want to relax or explore the surroundings, La Casita del Paseo is the perfect place for you.
