We spent 3 Months in Merida, Mexico. Here's what we learned!

Video Description

We just spent a full month (2 months) exploring the Yucatán capital — from street food and cantinas to rookie mistakes and cultural surprises. In this video, we’re sharing our first-hand experience staying in Mérida short-term, learning Spanish, trying the best local tacos, and what to know before you go. #MeridaMexico #ThingstoDoInMerida #MexicoTravelVlog Whether you’re planning a trip to Mérida or just curious about travel in Mexico beyond the tourist trail, we cover what we loved, what shocked us, and what we’d do differently next time. 📍 We’re here to learn, not live. This is a short chapter in our travels meant to respect and authentically experience the Yucatán. ► Subscribe - www.youtube.com/c/TheDetourDuo ► Find Us On Social Media - beacons.ai/thedetourduo ► Find us on Patreon if you'd like!:) ✌️ patreon.com/TheDetourDuo 📌 Our school: La Calle Spanish School lacalle-spanishschool.com/es/contacto-escuela-espanol/ 480 55th Street Mérida, Yucatán. 🌮 Upcoming episodes will explore Uxmal, Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, cenotes, and more.
