This is just south-east of, and in, the Plaza Grande (main square).

  • I love Merida. It's a great city.

    I was there in December and it was 85 degrees F and up. I'll bet April is really hot. I'm from Detroit, not used to that sort of weather.

  • Yeah, we're from Toronto so we're not used to the hot weather either. I'd say the temperature was in the low 90s F for most of the trip (but since we're Canadian we think of it as mid-30s Celsius, eh?) ;)

  • COME TO SCOTLAND !, LAND OF BRAVEHEART. WILLIAM WALLACE , KNIGHT OF ELDERSLIE .

  • Its crazy to think I'm from there I've only been there twice since me moved to MINNESOTA of all places tons of snow haha what a beautiful place merida is

  • @RussianAlfonso

    I'm from Merida, and asked my father the same question, he said the white paint is to prevent ants from

    climbing up the trees.

  • @RussianAlfonso its like a protection for bugs.

  • My beautiful merida

  • @RussianAlfonso  lower tree trunks are painted in white (solution called cal = stuco? ) to protect them from bugs, antsetc that eat leafs. thats the only reason and it works! if you travel all around Mexico, trees are protected like that. Merida is a beautiful city!

  • @RussianAlfonso In India too big trees along the main road are painted with white color - probable reason we know is to make this paint act as reflectors of headlights of automobiles providing safety.

  • @abdiver12 I have a feeling that you had drug dealers in your mind,but in Mexico there is a loooooot of very wealthy families that they are an old money and they own buissneses. It is like everywhere else ! If you see a wealthy american or canadian ,do you ask the same question ,or wright away you think about them having a buissness or a good job ! The rich mexicans do not go to the USA to work as landscapers or dish washers,they hire maids,gardneres and chauffeurs on their own !

  • @RussianAlfonso YES. Its not paint. It is a combination of clay, sea salt, and other medication to prevent ants, and other insects from climbing the tree.

  • @jdajos i agree with you
