Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)Coordinates : 20.979056, -89.623431 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : If you love photographing people Merida is an amusement park for any photographer or streetista portraitist in general. To me it took a look to create an immediate harmony with the totality of my subjects, entertain a chat with ugnuno will give you a thousand stories, a thousand stories, a thousand lifetimes can associate it clicks. A wonderful showcase for even novice photographers, highly recommended for those who dream of this type of pictures and is the first experience, the Yucatanesi are a people easy to conquer and extroverted. They speak Spanish and their local dialect incomprehensible, but they are always willing to dialogue.Recommended equipment : I did it all with a compact professional level, to each his own. Seldom have I felt the lack of a wide-angle but never pushed a canvas. In any case, if I were to do it again I would go anyway with a compact among the humble people, in a market or in a square is in my opinion the easiest way to make inroads in a popular context.Best months : 365 days a year, the weather is always mild, in scorching summer. Rainier in summer, drier in winter, the maximum temperatures are always above 30 degrees, the minimum rarely fall below 15.How to get there : Cancun fly and rent a car is the most fruitful. Attention to the reservation of the car renting online, often insurance purchased dall'astero is not accepted by the local companies, forced to make an additional place. With this trick I have stolen more than the price of the entire rental already paid online. From Cancun is a highway expensive (50 euro) and deserted, with speed limits easily ignorable, which leads directly to Merida going from Valladolid, I do not recommend, there are hundreds of small villages by the highway, sliding and still little busy, if you are in exploration will be your joy. Eye bike and various carts, use them for everything including taxi, and I found them a little dangerously everywhere.Visits : I'm not a lover of the tourist track, I like throwing myself into the crowd and live like one of them. Look on google there are few things, a museum, a couple of monuments in the city, nothing che.Escursioni max 50km away in cenotes (natural lakes in the middle of the forest, there are dozens) Mayan ruins (the least crowded of Americans and tourism are wild in Uxmal) and Progress (a seaside town, with beautiful beaches just to the north) are a must in every sense.Notes : I was already in Mexico at other times in other areas but I was curious to discover the culture Yucatan, it I was struck. I met hundreds of people living with dignitosissime a tenth of our economic possibilities, with a zest for life to most of us unknown. The food is of little variety, just put something (chicken or pork) in a tortilla and happily hunger subsides, the variety of fruits and vegetables is remarkable and tasteful. Restaurants personally prefer the kiosks in the street but in any case (for those not used to traveling in these destinations) close your eyes and forget the hygiene we have in Italy, cmnq I never had any intestinal preblemi sorta.La Police is a bit invasive, I searched several times during the trip, always kind and polite though. I have often had the impression that they wanted to talk to get my own business and open a window into a world fast for them unknown. I found a lot of friends and I shot a wedding service to a local family, an experience to be framed. In general, little expense, so many good pictures and many pleasant emotions. | | Nearby:   Rio Lagartos 181 km
