Centre Spring 2025: On February 9th, Centre College Students arrived to Mérida, starting their journey with a welcome at Hotel Gamma. Their first day included a guided tour of the historic downtown by Mundo Maya Tours, a lunch at Trompos, and, at the end of the day, they met their host families, with whom they will share these weeks.
The next day, they visited Universidad Marista, where they will take their classes and toured its facilities with the student group Welcome U. During the tour, they explored the university’s spaces and discovered the different activities that will take place throughout the semester.
The weekend was full of unforgettable moments, students visited El Corchito, a beautiful ecological reserve 30 minutes away from Mérida, where they swam in cenotes and learned more about the local ecosystem. Later, they headed to Progreso, where they enjoyed coastal cuisine and, of course, took the opportunity to dive into the sea and relax on the beach.
Last but not least: “Mérida en Domingo,” a day full of culture and tradition in the city. During the tour, they visited famous museums such as Palacio Cantón and the Fernández Castro Pacheco Cultural Center.
Welcome to Mérida!
