 Progreso, the principal port of the State of Yucatan, is a laid-back fishing community of some 50,000 people where you will find the true flavor of The Flamingo Riviera. Safe and tranquil, Progreso Beach has white sand beaches with no currents or tides, making it the perfect place for swimming, windsurfing, kite boarding, jet skiing, and deep-sea fishing.
Swaying palms frame the Malecon, a promenade along the ocean lined with restaurants and shops... a perfect place to meet people of Mayan heritage and sample their wares. You'll find fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of handcrafts in the markets and specialty shops.
 Choose from a variety of aquatic excursions into the mangroves or along the coast, or take a day trip to enjoy flamingo colonies, haciendas, the amazing Mayan ruins, cave diving, or one of the many area cenotes (natural springs, most av ailable for swimming).
Progreso is only a 25 minute drive from Merida, the capitol of Yucatan, and a cosmopolitan, yet colonial city filled with trendy clubs, markets,shopping, state of the art golf courses, and fabulous cuisine. In the evenings, and on Sundays, streets on the main square are closed for dancing, concerts, and dining under the stars.
Merida boasts more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world. (Source: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) This prosperity is reflected in its grand mansions, town squares, restaurants, parks, statues, museums, and theatres. Modern Merida is an important university, business, and cultural center as well.
Perhaps you envision a secluded hideaway on the beach, or you are ready to party like a rock star. Either way, come and play!
