We loved Progreso…for very personal reasons. My wife and I just strolled the streets and took in the local flavor. We used to live in Latin America and this was like a trip down memory lane for us. We had an inexpensive, but good, lunch on the water and shopped in some of the local markets…off the beaten path. We felt safe and secure the entire time. Progreso is a small town at the end of an incredibly long pier. Apparently the cruise ships dock here for access to Chichen Itza, the Mayan ruins. Although some people took that trip, others took a trip to some ruins closer by. Quite a few others parked it on the beach for the day and drank $1 Corona’s and other inexpensive drinks. There were some folks who described a nightmarish trip on the Caves and Cavern’s snorkeling tour that resulted in their money being refunded. Apparently, it was not the “excursion they were expecting.” Progreso has a lot of charm and is significantly cheaper than other Caribbean ports. If you are a little adventurous and remember it is not the U.S., you can have a lot of fun.
