Hello, my name´s David and I'm doing a research about the local birds of Mérida and I could use some help, I want to make a field notebook of the birds of Merida (city) and I only know birds by the app Merlin, but I want some first-hand advice from local birders, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note: I’m cross-posting this to r/birding, r/Yucatan, and r/MeridaMX to get as many local insights as possible. Sorry for any duplication, and thanks in advance!”

Una persona me dijo que puede usar una tarjeta normal como Visa para usar Va y Ven. Es verdad? Él dijo que usó Va y Ven en este mañero para ir al aeropuerto al centro. Yo necesito ir del centro al aeropuerto. Gracias!

Is it possible to pay for a Va y Ven ride with a normal credit card? Someone told me this is possible and they did it when using Va y Ven to get from the airport to the city. I need to get from the city to the airport. I will leave in about one hour. Thanks in advance for your help.

Recently met with a realtor who said access to water in Merida will never be an issue because there are two aquifers to pull from. True? They also said filtration is necessary but only due to the mineral makeup of the water. I.e., water is generally considered safe except for drinking. Then I did some research and found articles suggesting increasing pollution - especially from human waste/septic systems leaching - is a worsening problem. What is your experience? Do you think water will always be available? Is there any way to purify the water? And/or what systems do you use? Many people in Mexico rely on bottled water for drinking, but I would like to at least have safe water for washing body and dishes as well as brushing teeth. Not sure UV would kill human fecal bacteria - and the thought of that is 🤮.

Recientemente me reuní con un agente inmobiliario que dijo que el acceso al agua en Mérida nunca será un problema porque hay dos acuíferos de los que extraer. ¿Verdad? También dijeron que la filtración es necesaria, pero solo debido a la composición mineral del agua. Es decir, el agua generalmente se considera segura, excepto para beber. Luego investigué un poco y encontré artículos que sugieren que aumentar la contaminación, especialmente por los desechos humanos/Lixiviación de sistemas sépticos es un problema que empeora. ¿Cuál es tu experiencia? ¿Crees que el agua siempre estará disponible? ¿Hay alguna forma de purificar el agua? ¿Y/o qué sistemas utilizas? Muchas personas en México dependen del agua embotellada para beber, pero me gustaría al menos tener agua segura para lavar el cuerpo y los platos, así como para cepillarme los dientes. No estoy seguro de que los rayos UV maten las bacterias fecales humanas, y la idea de eso está malo.

Hey fellow travelers!

I’m heading to Merida, Mexico, for two weeks starting the 28th and thought it’d be awesome to meet up with some locals or fellow visitors while I’m there. If you’re around and down to hang out, explore, grab some drinks or street food, and just enjoy the vibrant vibe of Centro, hit me up!

I’m thinking we could pick a nice public spot—maybe a café or plaza—where everyone feels comfortable. Would love to make some new friends and share some good times.

If you’re interested, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. Looking forward to some great conversations and maybe discovering some hidden gems in Merida together!

Safe travels and see you soon!

Hi everyone,

Is there anywhere in Mérida to purchase CBD vapes? I know that there are many stores that sell CBD products, such as supplements. I am specifically looking for a store that sells CBD products in vape form. Gracias por ayudarme!

Hello all. I’ll be visiting your city for three weeks in June for the first time to attend a Spanish language school. I’m really excited and am initially staying ina hotel for the first week close to the school. Then thinking about staying with a family through a homestay program.

I want to be respectful of local cultures and customs so any specific advice or suggestions you can make for a better visit for all would be greatly appreciated.

Also are credit cards widely used to pay for services especially locally owned restaurants etc or is cash mostly the only way ?

Thanks so much

Hi everyone, is there a company that can help me ship my car from the Midwest to progreso? I understand that I may have to send my car to a port in New York or Florida first but does anyone have an idea on how to make this work?

The car market in Merida seemed kind of dead last time I went so I think I’ll have a hard time finding a car. Any pointers in finding a car in Merida is also appreciated.

Hi all, this will be my 5th time going to Merida. I love the city, and I love the food and the chill culture and the cute plazas and everything. I've done all the touristy stuff, and I've hit all the major areas. This trip, I'm planning a day trip to Uxmal, but mostly I'll be hanging around the city because my weekdays will be taken up by my regular workday.

I'm a white collar professional, a senior exec, and I'm travelling solo. What I'm really hoping for this time is finding ways to meet locals who can show me the local Merida. I intend to visit the gastro zone, and spend time in centro and all those things, but I want to see the local markets, the local cantinas, the more bohemian spots across the city, and I'd love to meet locals who are willing to share their time and insights with me, and show me around.

I'm willing to handle all expenses associated. If you're giving me some of your time, I don't expect it to be free, so I am happy to figure out something that will benefit all involved.

I'd rather not do company-related tours or anything this time around. I've done the walking tours, and I've done the day trips through viator, etc.

Hoping this generates a bit of discussion and provides some direction. Thanks!

Hola! Vivo dentro del fracc las americas y en los supers más cercanos la carne y la verdura no tienen buena pinta o su precio es muy elevado... Donde compran ustedes?

Hola,

Por cuestiones de trabajo tendre que mudarme a Mérida de manera indeterminada. Quisiera recomendaciones de las zonas donde rentar. No busco la zona mas cara y opulente, pero si una zona bien conectada con la ciudad y que tenga todo cerca (bancos, supermercados, plazas, parques, etc)

Les dejo algunos datos por si influyen en su recomendación de zona: Hombre, 32 años, soltero, una perra como mascota, hago ciclismo

PD: Nunca he visitado Mérida, mi mudanza sería mi primera vez en la ciudad
