I am an architect
Hi, I’m Dani, a local architect who’s endlessly inspired by Mérida’s charm and creativity. What I love most about my city is its stunning colonial architecture - the colorful houses and historic buildings that tell stories from the past - and, of course, the delicious Yucatecan food from cochinita pibil to marquesitas. I love walking around the historic center, especially near Paseo de Montejo, and spending weekends exploring beautiful cenotes. As an architect, I know Mérida’s mix of old and new design inside out and I’m always excited to share its cultural side - from hidden art galleries to local exhibitions that make this city such a vibrant, inspiring place to discover.
