Purewow.com is a women’s lifestyle website that features information on fashion, beauty, home, entertainment, wellness, money, tech, food, books, travel and family. They came up with a list of “Destinations to Visit in 2019 Before Everyone Hears About Them”… and guess which Yucatecan city made the list?… yep, good old Mérida!
The world is a big, beautiful place. Are you familiar with Garzón? How about Marcoola? Neither are most people—at least, not yet. So to satisfy your wanderlust (and desire to avoid the crowds), we’ve compiled a list of locales that have magically managed to stay off the well-beaten tourist path. Though, we can’t guarantee that’ll be the case for much longer. Our advice? Book ASAP.
MÉRIDA, MEXICO
Purewow.com says that: even when Mérida is the capital of the state of Yucatán, from a tourism perspective, it’s been playing second fiddle to the Mexican Caribbean and Gulf beaches for far too long. This inland city is teeming with Spanish colonial churches and Mayan heritage. To the north are the ruins of Dzibilchaltun and Cenote Xlacah.
Other destinations on the list are:
- COMPORTA, PORTUGAL
- ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO
- MARCOOLA, AUSTRALIA
- CAPE KOLKA, LATVIA
- XI’AN, CHINA
- SEWARD, ALASKA
- TBILISI, GEORGIA
- ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA
- GARZÓN, URUGUAY
- SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO
- VALLETTA, MALTA
