THINGS TO TO DO IN MERIDA [Visit the Mayan Museum!]
Visit the Mayan Museum in Merida with Us!
This week we're taking you along with us as we visit the Mayan History Museum (Gran Museo del Mundo Maya de Mérida). We've wanted to visit this wonderful museum for months, but it was closed when we first got to Merida and recently reopened while we've been busy traveling everyone. Thankfully, we were back in Merida for a couple of days to go check it out and had a blast learning about the rich culture and history of the Mayan people, who are still very much a part of the Yucatan today.

It is so important to understand the indigenous people of all countries we travel to, learn their contributions, support their businesses and learn how they survived so many invasions.

Amen!
That's a good sign for travelers that museums and such are beginning to reopen. The Maya museum looks magnificent thanks for the quick tour. Also wanna say the drone is really adding to your presentations it's another viewpoint and you don't overdo it. Nice job!

Beautiful!🙏♾🌈🦋☀️
We have driven by this place so many times on the way to Progresso or Telchac. Thanks for the tour!
Thank you for another informative video. I have been literally devouring/binge watching all things Mexico as we are planning a move later this year.
Thanks for the tour. This is definitely in the top 10 list of things to do in our first week. Love it!
Hi Cafeiños! I been to Merida a few times but I have never been to its museum… love the vid. Thank you! Be safe and stay healthy!
That is an awesome museum, but really David, those socks, they gotta go :) Oh and yes! I received my coffee today, can't wait to try it.

Glad you saw the museum. When I went there it was full of kids on their class trips! I don’t know if I mentioned this before or if you know about it but every Tuesday night (I think for decades) a Big Band plays starting at 7:30 in Parque de Santiago while older Mexican couples dance, many apparently having been going for years. Maybe with COVID restrictions lifting, it has started again, I don’t know. I think you guys would enjoy it.

Remarkable. I learn more everytime I watch your videos. What a beautiful museum.
I love watching your content. makes me jealous. I wish you guys would make a couple of day in the normal everyday life videos. I also love learning about the peoples around you such as what mayan life was like and is like today. Just ideas not me being critical. Have a great week. Peace.
Yay! We're planning to go this week so I love that we got a little preview.

Thank you so much for taking us to the museum with you. I love your personalities and the videos!! I never knew that the embroidery was regional or that the culture was that far down so I'm learning along with you guys 💖 can't wait for the next adventure!!

I am so glad you did a vlog on the Mayan Museum! I didn't get a chance to visit it when I was in Mérida last September as it was closed. Not sure if you've been to Puebla yet (I may have missed the video) but since you like museums, I would recommend a visit to the International Museum of the Baroque, which is pretty close to Cholula and its pyramid, the largest on the planet.

Best of luck with your new coffee company! What a splendid museum, looked pretty empty though!
Loved your visit to the Mayan Museum. It's always a pleasure to listen to your adventures, Was there a problem with the focus in this extra shot? It could have been my bleary eyes, too. Thanks for sharing your museum tour!

The first time I visited Gran Museo del Mundo Maya I was in there three hours, and didn't get to the Chicxulub crater side. I'm one of those who has to read every plaque 🙃 - Anne

Awesome. We drove by on our way back from Progreso. We will try it out, to get out of the heat. Can you believe that it is only February?? Not sure if the summer is for me.

@@BOULDERGEEK As Native I would say May is really bad even for us born in Yucatan and July/August is bad because it's not only heat but Humidity and a lot of Rain. Walk 2 blocks and lost weight just by sweating lol. Recommendations: Walk in the shade to avoid the sun, and always have a bottle of water with you. Hope you enjoy Yucatán :)
i love you guys vids, i've been binging them for 3 days now bcuz merida is on my short list of places to move to in 3 years! but i wanted to ask, you said something about a temporary/permenant residency card at the museum....is that a visa? or something completely different? thanks and safe travels!
@TravelWTravis

haha thanks for the binge! It's the temporary (or permanent) residency visa - once you get it, they give you a card you can show for any resident discounts
Great Merida tip. How is your spanish coming along? It's been a year, no?

After watching tens of your videos I finally understood the café con leche thing. How Mexican. I am proud to not relate things with skin color.
