What Can You See and Do with YucanGo?
Mérida is our base. Yucatán is our specialty.
Most of our tours focus on Mérida and destinations throughout Yucatán, where we know the region best. There’s a lot to choose from — Mayan sites (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and beyond), a variety of unique cenotes, henequen (sisal) haciendas, smaller towns like Izamal, the natural reserve around Celestún, local markets, cooking tours in rural communities, and plenty of places that don't make it onto the standard tour bus route. We can combine these in different ways depending on what you want to see and how much time you have.
For longer trips, we can also travel with you beyond Yucatán, including destinations in Campeche and Quintana Roo.
The Team Behind YucanGo - Meet the People Planning your Trip
We're Daniel and Pavlina, the people behind YucanGo. We live in Mérida and run the business ourselves — from the first conversation about what you'd like to see, through planning the details of your trip, to guiding and running it.
We don't try to fit you into a package. We help you work out what makes sense for your time, interests, and travel style, and build the custom trip around that. Read More about Us.
Itinerary Ideas - How Much Time Do You Have in Yucatán?
Everyone travels differently, and not everyone has weeks to spare. If you're just passing through, we can help you fit in one perfect day — enough to taste the nature, history, and culture of the Yucatán that you'll already be planning your trip back. Check what you can do in Yucatán from Mérida in one day. Have more time? See one of many itinerary options.
Have 3 Days From Mérida? (Works well even if you land before noon on Day 1)
Day 1
Get to Know the Capital of Yucatán
See the highlights of Mérida - homeland monument, cathedral, founder's house or local market. We can spice it up by adding a visit to a traditional Cantina or arrange a tasting in a local distillery.
Day 2
Discover Uxmal, Local Community and Cenote
Visit one of the most iconic archaeological sites in Yucatán, have lunch in a local community and learn about the traditional food. Finish your day with a jump to one of our cenotes - unique sinkholes that exist only in Yucatán!
Day 3
Visit Our Protected Area of Celestún
Take a boat into the mangroves and observe flamingos and other bird species, maybe even some croc! Enjoy some beach time with delicious lunch in a local fishing community.
Have extra 2 more days? Let's make it to Valladolid!
Day 4
Visit Hacienda and Izamal, spend night in Valladolid
Take a tour of the last fully functional henequén (sisal) hacienda in the area and see how a plant turns into a rope. Visit the yellow town of Izamal and find out why it is actually yellow. Continue to Valladolid and spend a night.
Day 5
Chichén Itzá (or Cobá) and Cenote Cool-Down
Visit Chichén Itzá as an early bird before the crowds - arriving by 8 AM. Is Chichén Itzá not a must for you? Let's do Cobá instead! After a long walk, the best cure is a dip in one of the huge cenotes in the area. We return to Mérida or another desired location.
However many days you have, this is just a starting point. Tell us what you'd actually like to see, and we'll shape it around that.
