Casa Pavo Real (Peacock House) is a comfortable, recently renovated two-bedroom two-bath en suite casita that sleeps 4-6 people in the historic center of Merida Yucatan. Located just blocks from Plaza Grand, you’ll find exquisite dining, shopping, historic cathedrals, theater, and the vibrant Galvez Market.

Merida Mexico is rated one of the safest cities in the world and is in the heart of the Mayan Yucatan. Nearly half of the population is Mayan and speak Mayan as their first language. You will see signs in Spanish, Mayan and English throughout the region. Merida is just minutes to the white sandy beaches of Progresso, an hour and a half to Chechen Itza, one of the wonders of the world. Merida is surrounded by world heritage sites such as Mayapan, Uxmal, and Kabah. Visit a working hacienda like Sotuta de Peon and take a swim in a cenote, or visit ki’Xocolatl, rated in the top ten best chocolatiers in the world by National Geographic. Walk from the house to the Plaza Grand on Friday night and you will see the ancient Mayan ball game Pok-a-Tok being played in front of the San Ildefonso cathedral, one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas.

Casa Pavo Real is perfect for families, friends and couples traveling together and wishing to enjoy a warm stay.
