Hi, I'm Javi, a local host from Mérida who’s passionate about sharing the best of this beautiful city. What I love most about Mérida is its mix of cultural heritage and modern life - there’s always something new to discover in the vibrant city center. I enjoy biking through the historic streets, relaxing at nearby beaches, and exploring neighborhoods like Santa Lucía, Santiago, La Ermita, La Mejorada, and Centro. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know the city deeply - from the best coffee spots and local eateries to scenic cenote routes and the fascinating way Mérida has evolved over the past two decades. I’d love to show you the places that make this city truly special.
