In summer 2024, our family spent two weeks in Merida, Mexico, exploring its vibrant neighborhoods, cultural events, and nearby beaches and cenotes with our kids (ages 6 and 9). We combined remote work and kids’ Spanish camp with visits to local attractions like Plaza Grande, Paseo de Montejo, and Parque de La Plancha. We found Merida a safe, family-friendly city brimming with culture and welcoming locals.
Our family visited Merida, Mexico, in summer 2024 for a two-week trip, combining remote work with a half-day Spanish camp for our kids, and city exploration with a nearby family. To balance the kids’ activities, we incorporated a realistic itinerary with half-day excursions to cenotes, beaches, and playgrounds while exploring Merida’s cultural sites and neighborhoods. This visit was enriched by the welcoming locals, affordable dining, and the ease of local transport, creating a relaxed and immersive travel experience.
In summer 2024, our family returned to Mérida, Mexico for a two-week adventure, balancing remote work with our kids’ Spanish camp and exciting day trips. Highlights included exploring the ruins of Uxmal, swimming in Cenote Mucuyche, and relaxing at beach clubs like Silcer Club De Playa, all of which made for an unforgettable family trip filled with fun and cultural immersion
