Progreso Day Trip

At 11 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Mérida and head to Progreso. After 40 minutes on the road, we'll arrive in Progreso, whose full name is Progreso de Castro, in honour of the first person to promote its port. During our walk, we'll discuss its founding in the late 19th century and its connection to maritime trade.

We'll stroll along the boardwalk area and talk about the city's current status as an important port for cargo and tourist cruise ships, highlighted by its 4-mile (6-kilometre) long quay.

You'll then have around 3 hours of free time to enjoy a dip in the turquoise waters at the white sandy beaches. You can also sample local gastronomy by having lunch at one of the restaurants on the boardwalk.

After 4 hours of sightseeing, we'll drop you off back at your hotel in Mérida.
