Taxi from the Airport

From the airport it is very easy and economical to get a cab at all hours.

In the lobby there is an ATM for withdrawing pesos.
Go out the entrance and walk straight about 30 feet.
To your left there is a booth where you buy a ticket for the taxi.
Tell them you are going to Sta. Ana in Centro.
The ticket will cost around 200 pesos (approx US$11) per person. You can tip the driver directly.

Address & Directions

Calle 47 #453-C, x50 y52, Centro

Explanation: Casa Guadalupe is located at 47th Street (calle 47) at #453-C "por 50 y 52" (between calles 50 and 52) - this is part of the address! - in the "Céntro Histórico" district - also part of the address!

Traveling east on calle 47, after crossing calle 52, Casa G is almost at the end of the block, on the left. The overhang over the front door makes it easy to spot. Here is a snapshot of the front of the house (One fun thing about Merida: You can never tell from the street what lies behind!)

Casa G is between two neighborhoods defined by two parks:

From Santa Ana (calle 47 x 60) it is 5 blocks east on 47, which runs west-to-east.

Mejorada (calle 50 x 57) is 5 blocks to the south on 50, which runs north-to-south.

The city has named all corners in Centro with a unique name displayed on a ceramic plaque.

The corner of calle 47 & 50 is "La Letra."
