A charming neighborhood plaza known for its beautiful church, local food vendors, and easy access to some of Centro’s best restaurants and art galleries.

My work: Burro y Flauta Vacation Rentals
Speaks English and Spanish
Hola! My name is Becca and I am one of the managers of Burro y Flauta Vacation Properties, located in the beautiful city of Merida. More than 8 years ago, my family decided to move to the Yucatan to start a new chapter of our lives and Mexico welcomed us with open arms. We fell in love with its charm and culture, the incredible food, and the warmth of its people. Our goal is to pass along what we love about the area to all of those who choose to stay with us. Burro y Flauta is a family owned and operated vacation rentals business with 10+ different properties in Merida's historic center. We have hosted thousands of satisfied customers and hope to serve many more to come. Nos vemos pronto! Learn more about our company at the Burro y Flauta website or FB page.
