A Jewel of Innovation and Sustainability
The Yucatán International Congress Center (CIC Yucatán) is an ideal blend of modern design, cultural heritage, and environmental responsibility in the heart of Mérida. It is the newest and most advanced venue in the Yucatán region.
Certified under the LEED Platinum Green Building system, the CIC Yucatán exemplifies global leadership in sustainable design and energy efficiency.
El Cenote: The Soul of Yucatán
Did you know? The Yucatán International Congress Center (CIC Yucatán) has its own rare natural feature—“El Cenote”, a natural sinkhole that connects to an ancient underground river. Cenotes are a distinctive geological feature found almost exclusively in the Yucatán Peninsula and were once believed by the Mayans to be sacred gateways to the underworld.
El Cenote stands as a living symbol of Mérida’s commitment to sustainable progress and harmony with nature, offering delegates a quiet space to pause and reflect—just steps away from the heart of the ISPAH Congress 2026.
Connected and Convenient
Conveniently located 20 minutes from Mérida International Airport, the CIC Yucatán sits within the vibrant Yucatán Congress District, adjacent to the city’s iconic main street, Paseo de Montejo. Inspired by the grand boulevards of Europe, Paseo de Montejo is lined with historic mansions, cafés, and shaded walkways, offering visitors a glimpse into Mérida’s rich heritage and contemporary charm.
With over 2,000 hotel rooms within 600 meters, attendees can enjoy effortless access to accommodations, dining, and entertainment at a range of price points.
Where Culture Meets Cutting-Edge Capability
Beyond its architecture, the CIC Yucatán embodies the perfect balance between technology and tradition. Its spacious foyers (4,530 m²), terraces for social events (933 m²), and outdoor plaza (3,900 m²) provide versatile settings for exhibitions, networking, and celebration.
Every detail—from acoustics and lighting to digital infrastructure—has been designed to reflect Mexico’s natural environment and innovation. The CIC Yucatán is where sustainability, culture, and creativity converge, offering an unforgettable experience for ISPAH Congress 2026 attendees.
