Mérida, Yucatán, (November 18, 2021).- Accompanied by the Federal Secretary of Tourism Miguel Torruco Marqués, Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal inaugurated the Yucatán pavilion at the Tianguis Turístico de Mérida 2021 at the Yucatán Siglo XXI Convention Center.

In its structure, the Yucatán pavilion at the Mérida Tourist Tianguis has showcases where Maya handicrafts are exhibited, such as carved wooden figures and objects made with henequen fiber, a sample of the cultural wealth of the state.
Similarly, ceremonies, Maya rituals and typical dances of the region are performed, and you can find artisans from different municipalities of the entity, demonstrating how they make their creations 100% by hand.
