The Facts About Safety in Yucatán

 Mexico is close to home, yet it’s a world away. During your semester, year or summer in this diverse country, you can immerse yourself in a proud cultural heritage dating back almost 20,000 years, which blends seamlessly with a modern, friendly atmosphere.

Mérida and the rest of the state of Yucatán are one of the crown jewels in Latin America tourism. Cosmopolitan and cultural but also laid back, this stunningly beautiful area is an ideal place to immerse yourself in an authentic culture that still incorporates ancient pre-hispanic elements. Once an independent republic, the Yucatán still considers itself culturally and historically separate from Mexico.

You can fully immerse yourself in the culture, history and warmth of the Yucatán at Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán. One of the most renowned universities in the country, many of its majors regularly ranked as the best in the country. A full complement of humanities, business and social science courses will make for a rewarding time abroad.
