Merida is the capital of the state of Yucatan. It has incredibly beautiful historical buildings.

**Rural gap behind Hacienda San José Cutz – Discreet path between mountains and ranches** This small gap, located north of Cholul and behind the old Hacienda San José Cutz, is a little-traveled route ideal for gravel or mountain bikers looking for quiet rides near Mérida. It crosses between scrubland and cattle ranches, with shaded sections and others open to the sun. The terrain is uneven but passable, especially during the dry season. It's common to see ranch animals such as cows, horses, or even poultry. At the end of the gap, you may find a gate; sometimes it's open, but there's no guarantee, as it's through private property. **Tips:** - Ideal for connecting with routes to Baca, Conkal, or Komchén. - Crossing if the gate is closed is not recommended. Respect the access. - Bring water, as there are no services or continuous shade. - A good option for exploratory routes or light training. A short but symbolic trail: it connects the Yucatecan mountains with the memory of the haciendas and the rural life still active in the region.

This is a Gas. It is also the beginning of several routes around Chablekal. It is a good meeting point.

Very nice square with many free museums. There's always something going on in the square. It is best to inquire at the tourist information
