Where To Go In And Around Mérida, Mexico
"On the far west coast about 1h20m from Mérida, I take a roughly two-hour boat ride to watch hundreds of pink flamingos from a safe distance before cruising into mangroves alive with pelicans, egrets, and other tropical birds; November to April is prime, and afterward the tiny beach town’s soft white sand, calm water, and just-caught seafood make an easy lunch stop, with boats for 5–6 people typically running MXN1,600–2,000." - Sophie Friedman
