Detailed itinerary

The tour guide will meet you at this location. El Lucero del Alba is a "cantina botanera" (a unique concept in Mérida), where most of the appetizers are free with the consumption of drinks. This establishment is one of the most visited in the city. The food is 100% Yucatecan. 4 drinks per person are included, as well as free appetizers and entrees.
2
Our next destination takes us to one of the busiest avenues in the city, Avenida Andrés García Lavín, in it, within the Plaza Jardín, is Corajillo (Shaken and Strong), a fusion gastronomy and mixiology bar where the star product is the "carajillo" (a drink made with espresso coffee and fruit liquor called Licor 43). This drink has become enormously popular in the city and is widely consumed by all its inhabitants. 3 drinks (including 2 carajillos) per person are included.

Seafood bar and restaurant located in Plaza Piré (near La Isla shopping plaza). The perfect place for a pre-party. This establishment has high tables called "periqueras", a DJ and an excellent variety of drinks to start changing the "mood" for a exciting one. 4 drinks per person and 2 appetizers shared per table are included.

The final stop. Plaza The Harbor Mérida is home to one of the most popular bars in the city: Cantina La No. 20. A mexican concept where the tradition and modernity of our ever-changing culture are combined. This popular and crowded bar has become a meeting point for all "meridanos" since it has a great atmosphere, a mariachi show, a sparkler show and a DJ that will play until dawn. The best destination to end an exciting night and a perfect point to find a taxi or any kind of transport for a safe return home. 4 drinks per person are included.
