Location
LA-Web 2009 is hosted by the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), in the city of Mérida, Yucatan, México.
The charming and magical city of Merida is located in the state of Yucatan, about 177 km (110 mi) from Campeche and 320 km (198 mi) from Cancun. Thanks to its tropical climate and cool winds that blow in from the nearby coast, temperatures range between 28º and 35º C (82º and 95º F) throughout most of the year. Merida is known today as the White City. It has beautiful and solidly built colonial buildings that house the city’s history, art, traditions and culture.
The city’s main avenue is Paseo Montejo, which is lined with beautiful palaces, old buildings and 19th-century mansions. All that and much more makes the so-called White City one of the most visited destinations in the country. Henequen haciendas are just several kilometers from Merida. Many of them have been converted into luxurious hotels. In the Merida’s environs are found the “Reserva de la Biosfera Ria Celestun”, a biosphere reserve and habitat of hundreds of pink flamingos. Also near the White City are many spectacular archaeological zones such as Uxmal, Dibilchaltun, and Chichen Itza where is evident the grandeur of the ancient Mayan culture.
In Merida you can try many of the exquisite dishes characteristic of Yucatecan cuisine. Papadzules and panuchos are made with stuffed corn tortillas and bathed in hot sauce. The traditional cochinita pibil is pork marinated in orange juice and served with beans and red onion.
Further information of Merida and the State of Yucatan is found here.
