Customized shuttle from Chelem to Merida

Chelem is one of those destinations that most people discover by accident and then never forget. A small fishing village along the Gulf of Mexico in the Yucatán Peninsula, it offers a different kind of beach escape—one that’s slow, peaceful, and deeply connected to local life. While nearby towns like Progreso draw more visitors, Chelem feels like it’s kept a secret just for you.

Staying here means waking up to gentle sea breezes, strolling past pastel-colored homes, and watching pelicans skim the water at sunset. It’s quiet, safe, and authentically Yucatecan. But when you’re ready to trade sandy flip-flops for city shoes, Mérida—the cultural capital of Yucatán—is just 35 kilometers away. And getting there is effortless with Wayak’s private shuttle service from Chelem to Merida.

Our goal is to make the journey as enjoyable and stress-free as the destination itself. That’s why our transportation service from Chelem to Merida is designed for travelers who value comfort, punctuality, and personalized service.

Why Chelem Deserves a Spot on Your Itinerary

If you’ve traveled around Mexico, you know that many coastal towns have become busy tourist hubs. Chelem is different—it’s the opposite of “all-inclusive” chaos. Instead, you’ll find:

• Calm beaches where you can swim without the noise of jet skis.

• Friendly locals who might offer you a fresh coconut or tell you about the day’s best catch.

• Small eateries serving grilled fish, ceviche, and the famous Yucatecan dish, tikin xic.

• A slower rhythm, perfect for reading on the beach or enjoying the sea without rushing anywhere.

This makes Chelem the ideal base for travelers who want authentic coastal living but still wish to visit Mérida’s museums, theaters, shopping centers, and dining spots. With Wayak’s hotel transfer from Chelem to Merida, you can start your day by the ocean and end it in the city—all without worrying about how to get there.
