Progreso (Merida), Mexico Port Reviews

Took a food tasting excursion to Merida Youcatan

it is well below average it is very gross actually Sketchy crimey diseasy and depressingly poverty ridden I would not want to go back I will want to avoid cruises with this port on the itinerary.

It was disappointing that you really needed to take a bus into town in order to do anything or to get to a beach or restaurant. We didn't know that, and thought we could just enjoy the day close to the port, like in Cozumel.

Pretty sure they watered down our liquor at the beach party

We did an excursion to see Merida and the Mayan ruins at Dzibilchaltun. Probably one of our top 5 excursions we've ever done. Tour included lunch in Merida at an awesome museum of food and we got to see them handmaking a bunch of the food.

In Progresso, we saw Chichen itza the largest of the Mayan ruins- Quoma was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing and caring for the ruins- Lastly on that tour we went to a sink hole that was quite deep. It was possible to swim in the clear water, however, it was a 2 hour ride to and from leaving only 2 hours for both venues. Still extremely informative and beautiful.

Was great. Did the Merida Street food experience. It was great. Our tour guide was Willy and he was very knowledgeable about the history of Merida. He was very friendly and funny. Make sure you have good walking shoes on though.

Loved visiting the ruins and salt fields. Best authentic tacos ever. They were made by a woman who mixed the dough on site and cooked them over an open fire.

We went in the ATV excursion. It was great! We swam in the Cenotes and that also was wonderful!

The city tour was interesting, learned a lot about the town.
