Audio Guide of Parque de las Américas

Parque de las Américas is a public space that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can visit whenever you like. No advance reservation is required, and access is free for all visitors.

No need to worry about your budget! Parque de las Américas is completely free. You can enjoy all its facilities, such as the green areas, fountains, and monuments, at no cost.

To fully enjoy Parque de las Américas, I suggest spending between 1 and 2 hours there. That gives you enough time to stroll through its different sections, admire the acoustic shell and the statues, and even relax for a while on its benches.

Parque de las Américas was inaugurated in 1945 to commemorate the brotherhood among the countries of the American continent and celebrate Yucatecan culture. Each section of the park represents an aspect of this richness, visible in its Maya-inspired architecture and the sculptures that adorn it. It is a beautiful tribute to history and community.

The best time to visit Parque de las Américas is during the early morning or at sunset, to avoid Mérida’s strongest heat and enjoy beautiful light. As for the time of year, the dry season (from November to May) is ideal, since the weather is more pleasant and there is less chance of rain.

Yes, Parque de las Américas is quite accessible. Its paths are wide and paved, which makes it easier for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users to get around. The vast majority of the areas and attractions within the park are fully accessible.

Absolutely! You are in a central area. Very nearby, you can find the famous Paseo de Montejo, ideal for a walk and admiring its beautiful mansions. Also, Casa Montejo (Cantón Palace), home to the Regional Museum of Anthropology, is a short distance away and makes for an excellent cultural visit.

To make the most of your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable, light clothing, sunscreen, and a hat, especially if you visit during the day. Don’t forget your camera to capture the beauty of the park, and if you are coming with children, there are play areas and plenty of space for them to run around. And don’t miss the chance to try one of the marquesitas sold nearby!
