Yucatán Flavours Food Tour with 15+ Tastings
Overview
This small-group food tour is limited to just 8 guests, allowing for a more personal, immersive experience of Mérida’s food culture. Rather than simply tasting dishes, you’ll uncover the history behind Yucatán’s bold flavours, from age-old Mayan recipes to dishes shaped by Spanish influence.
With around 15+ tastings across four hours, this is a generous, in-depth introduction to Mérida’s most authentic local food.
