Tuesday
Start bright and early to discover an ecotourism paradise: Sisal. Upon arrival, head to the former Customs building where you can hire tours to the mangroves, water springs, and to go birdwatching. When you’re finished, have lunch and enjoy the beach before returning to Mérida.
Wednesday
Take a trip to Yucatán’s past by exploring the Convent Route. Start in Acanceh, continue to the impressive site of Mayapán, then dive into the cool waters of cenote Nah Yah. End your tour with a Poc Chuc lunch and a visit to the convent in Maní.
