Yucatán's quieter side, for hundreds less.
A week in Mérida costs less than a week in Cancún.
Cancún is cheap to fly to and expensive to be in (about $110 a day). Mérida is the reverse (about $50 a day). Over 7 days the ground cost decides it, the part almost nobody prices in.
| Mérida | Cancún | |
|---|---|---|
| Flight (typical) | $332 | $298 |
| 7 days on the ground | $350 | $770 |
| Total, all in | $682 | $1,068 |
Cheaper from 12 of 12 US cities we track, by about $386 all in.
