Things to do in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula: The Best Shopping
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

Instead of group tours, they are conducting private tours with your own group of cohorts. What a fascinating and fabulous place to visit and to make a donation to a very worthy cause. The owners have opened their private home and private collection of Mexican art to anybody who wants to visit and only ask for a modest donation that goes towards local charities. It is impossible to absorb everything and only one visit as there is so much of interest to look at. A big shout out to the owners for their vision and generosity.

In the heart of Merida's Historic Center, Casa Estudio was born and continues to grow. It has evolved into a place where contemporary visual art and the solemn elegance of colonial architecture converge, creating an environment at once original and distinguished for its extensive collection of beautiful and masterfully done paintings, sculpture. drawings and prints.

There was some very interesting sculpture and visual art at this gallery. It is close to Santa Ana park and I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

La Isla is the best quality shopping to be found in Cancun. It’s actually several shopping hubs connected to each other across the street from hotel row, making it a wonderful perk for resort clients. It appears to be inspired by Venice, boasting bridges and canals and then sea, even pirate boats. In addition to hosting over a hundred shops to include many specialty stalls, souvenir stores, low to high-end fashion (Zara, Massimo Dutti, Louis Vuitton etc), Haagen-Dazs and many great restaurants, it houses an aquarium amusement park where you can even swim with dolphins. Lots of locals hang here along with the multitude of resort clients. If you want to shop in Cancun, this is the place. Check out Wayang for cool Mexican resort wear.

The park itself is lovely and a diverse slice of this vibrant community. The market is fabulous, offering veggies, fruits, nuts, fresh flowers and meat. The vendors were always so kind, handing you a basket while you select your bounty. There are also some non food vendors as well (and honey products for skin care). And if you want authentic food from the region, one of the many food stands can help you out!

Great selection of high end stores in one place. The prices are better than in the United States. The mall was clean and family friendly.

We were pretty disappointed with Zona Hoteliera shopping malls - they're average at best, while some of them were deserted or even closed. We found this one accidentally when driving to Cancun downtown - it's some 10 min drive from the hotel zone center on your right hand side. It's a huge brand new complex featuring a marina, hotels and a great mall. It wasn't crowded which was a great plus during Covid and we found great bargains during Christmas sales.

In most of the mexican cities and towns we visit we like to check out the markets - not the tourist "trinket" markets but the places where locals and others buy their fruits, vegetables, meats and other products. This market was great! Large, super looking produce and meats, friendly vendors and no annoyinng smells. If we were self-catering in Valladolid, this is where we would shop. It is a few blocks from downtown but easy to find.
