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. Its full name is Progreso de Castro, in honour of the first person to promote its port. As we walk through the streets, we'll explain its foundation at the end of the 19th century and its significance in maritime trade.

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

You will then have around 3 hours of free time to relax in the turquoise water at the white sandy beaches. Additionally, you can sample the local gastronomy by having lunch at one of the restaurants on the boardwalk.

After 4 hours of sightseeing, we'll return you to your hotel in Mérida.
