Progreso Walking Tour

Progreso, Mexico

Why Walk Progreso

Progreso is a small beach town on the Gulf of Mexico with one of the longest piers in the world — stretching nearly 7 kilometers to reach deep enough water for cruise ships. The town itself is a relaxed Mexican beach community, but its real value for visitors is proximity to the Yucatan's great cultural sites: Merida is 30 minutes away, and the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza is a two-hour drive.
