Monumento a los Montejo

The Monumento a los Montejo (Monument to the Montejo) stands at the Remate del Paseo de Montejo, the traffic circle that marks the beginning of Paseo de Montejo as it heads north from downtown Mérida.

Cafetería Impala

The time-honored Cafetería Impala is a favorite among locals since 1958. This Mérida institution is popular day and night with long opening hours from 8:00 am to 2:00 am.

Casa T´HŌ Concept House

Casa T’hō is one of my favorite places in Mérida – a beautiful spot to shop, eat, and just take a break. It’s tucked away just a few steps from the remate de Paseo de Montejo, so it’s super easy to reach if you’re exploring the city center.

Casas Gemelas

You can visit several grand colonial homes in Mérida, but in my view, the Casas Gemelas are by far the most luxurious and impressive of them all.

Museo Regional de Antropología

The Museo Regional de Antropología (Regional Museum of Anthropology) is housed in the Palacio Cantón, one of the most beautiful and iconic colonial buildings on Paseo de Montejo.

Rosas & Xocolate

Rosas & Xocolate in Mérida is a small boutique hotel with a spa and a restaurant, housed in two beautifully restored French-style mansions from 2007.

Márago Coffee

The Márago Coffee is located twice in Mérida - and each in a top location. One coffee shop is located on Calle 60 at the intersection with Calle 57, one block from Parque de Santa Lucía (or two blocks away from Plaza Grande).

Dulceria y Sorbeteria Colon

Dulcería y Sorbetería Colón, often called "El Colón", is the closest location to Casa Loltún, right on Paseo de Montejo. This family-run shop has been a beloved institution in Mérida for generations.

El Minaret

El Minaret is another iconic French-style mansion on Paseo de Montejo. Built in 1908 (at the end of the Porfiriato period) by the owner Dr. Alvaro Medina Ayora and his brother Miguel Medina Ayora, the building was formerly known as "Casa del Minarete".

Casa Museo Montes Molina

In Mérida, sidewalks aren’t maintained by the city but by individual homeowners, which often leaves them in poor condition. Paseo de Montejo is one of the rare exceptions, and that’s part of why I love strolling there every now and then.

Casa Duarte Molina

Casa Molina Duarte is one of the remarkable buildings, located in the very best location directly on Paseo de Montejo (diagonally across from Casa Montes Molina), representing a value of several million dollars and yet abandoned for many years.

Casa Vales

Casa Vales was built between 1905 and 1908 by Fernando Rendón, during the economic boom in Yucatán due to the export of hennequen. The architecture of Casa Vales is influenced by the neoclassical style and features Doric porticoes.

Casa Peón de Regil

Casa Peón de Regil is a striking early 20th-century neoclassical mansion in Mérida, sitting right on the corner of Paseo de Montejo and Calle 35 – which is probably why it caught my eye early on.

Monumento a la Patria

I must’ve driven past that monument dozens of times and walked by it more than once – but the first time I really stopped and really took it was during a Sunday Biciruta ride, when I rolled up on my bike and decided to take a break there.
