Overview

Think a cold beer can't tell a story? Think again. On this walking tour, we dive into Mérida’s cantina culture—where drinks refresh, bites surprise, and strangers become friends. From iconic neighborhood bars to a modern twist on the classic cantina, you’ll visit five unique spots, each with its own flavor, energy, and charm. Between mezcals, botanas, and conversations with locals, you’ll uncover the soul of Yucatán’s most social (and delicious) tradition: the joy of drinking, sharing, and slowing down to savor life.

• Guided visit to 6 cantinas (5 traditional + 1 modern)
• 6 drinks (beer, mezcal, tequila or cocktails)
• Local botana tasting (weekly menu, Valladolid longaniza, Yucatecan classics)
• Food & drink expert as your host
• Interactions with cantina staff and regulars
• Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options
