Today’s Travel Tip for Mérida

Bargaining

It may come as a surprise to many visitors – haggling is not a common practice in Mexico. While it might sometimes be acceptable – such as when buying tourist souvenirs with obviously inflated prices – it is generally not expected or considered appropriate in most everyday shopping situations.

How Casa Loltún Got Its Name

Two limestone pillars inside the Loltún Cave system in Yucatán, Mexico, shown in warm lighting with visible mineral textures, highlighting a key chamber of archaeological and cultural significance.

Loltún means Flower Stone (Lol–Tún) in Mayan and is the name of the largest cave system in Yucatán (Grutas de Lol-Tún).

One chamber holds two limestone pillars , Lol and Tún – just like Casa Loltún, built on two pillars: the main house and the apartments.

The earliest known Yucatán settlement was found at Loltún, with cave evidence confirming past human habitation.

The cave contains 145 ancient paintings and petroglyphs, likely created by the Maya during the Late Preclassic Era (400 BC – 100 AD).
 
The Maya civilization spanned a vast region covering southeastern Mexico and parts of northern Central America.

They left behind a remarkable architectural legacy – including palaces, pyramids, temples, ballcourts, and observatories.
