Highlights:
Merida - founded almost 500 years ago, 25 minutes from the beach - has a strong Mayan influence seen in its citizen's faces, heard in the city's weekly music festivals, and tasted in street vendor tamales. Mérida is the perfect microcosm to enjoy amenities of a city (public transportation, symphonies and concerts, variety in food and entertainment) while feeling safe and at ease talking with locals and making friends. Panrimo students choose Mérida because it is affordable, by the beach, and a good place to study or research Spanish, Mayan civilization, archeology, and marine life.
