YUCATAN BEACH TOUR [Explore the Beaches of Merida With Us!]
Рет қаралды 16,431
Күн бұрынThis week we're taking you along to explore two beautiful beach towns in the Yucatan peninsula: Sisal and Progreso! Both cities are rich in Mayan history and have something unique to offer visitors; Sisal is more of a sleepy, low-key fishing town while Progreso is quickly becoming a destination beach town with a beautiful malecòn and tons of things to see, eat and do. We visited here in the fall of 2020 just after we moved to Merida and as y ou can tell in this video, we were blown away by how much things have changned since we've been here last. If you live in Progresso or Sisal (or have been there!), leave any highlights for us to check out in the comments!

And no need to drive, you can take a nice little aircon shuttle bus called AutoProgreso from Mérida (the station is a short walk from the plaza grande, on calle 62). They leave every hour and take you there and back in about 50 minutes for 23 pesos one way, 46 round trip. The station in Progreso is near the lighthouse right in the center. Perfect for a day trip! 🤔😎🌴🚎

Hacienda Sotuta de Peon is just south of Merida and is a wonderful working hacienda to tour to learn all about henequen. SO funny that you thought you could drive directly east to Progreso along the shore. "We should've looked at Google maps," OR you could've asked me HEEHEE!!! When I saw that you hit Sisal and Progreso in the same day I did wonder :) Little ankle waves because the water is so shallow for so far out. Great shorts of you guys getting in the water! So proud of everything that's been done here for the mobility challenged people. That building is a museum and we are all waiting impatiently for it to open. It will highlight (apparently) the Chicxulub crater that eliminated all the dinosaurs. Oh yes, this is a cruise ship port! There are currently no vegan restaurants in Progreso. I expect that to change in the next year. David, there are next to no big waves here. And if you guys are going to come here "every weekend" (cuz I know you won't haha) let me know, I'd love to meet up! You caught the place that has the BEST breeze every here at 13:46. That "little kids' amusement park is open most nights now and is new. It wasn't here when you were last time. I can probably give you a few tips on the "beautifulness," :)

I don't know why I torture myself watching videos about Progreso, but I do. My wife and I were spending about a month there every winter before "that which shall not be named". I really miss it. I see from your video that there have been a lot of changes in that time. You were lucky to be there on a non cruise ship day. Things get a little hectic when there is. I would usually spend those days either in the pool at our rental, or take the bus to Merida for the day. You might also want to check out Chicxulub and the story of the meteor that hit there 65 million years ago. I had actually discovered Progreso by accident on my way to Chicxulub. I flew from Saskatchewan to Cancun, took the bus to Merida, took another bus to Progreso, and walked to Chicxulub. All just to stand in the centre of a meteor crater that you can't see anymore.

Love Sisal, great video! Most restaurants can improvise a vegan meal by making a cheese-less quesadilla with mushroom avocado or guac, onion, a side of refried or black beans, chips and salsa. Not the most imaginative but can do in a pinch! This is what I ate at one of the seaside restaurants there. But no doubt you’ve already figured that out ☺️

I'm really of two minds about Progreso in 2023. On the one hand, I'm tremendously proud of it for the progress it seems to have made since I grew up there. On the other hand, I worry that in a few years I won't recognize the Progreso that was in the Progreso that is. I understand some things just have to be done to get along in the new world, but I will miss Old Progreso, too.

We were just in Progreso last week. You are right the Vegan scene is lacking, but Progreso is awesome, especially the beach. We ended up going to Ginger’s Jungle Rescue and ordering a grilled vegetable wrap, a side salad, and a margarita. The cook actually came out to speak with us since I asked for no cheese in the wrap or on the salad. Turns out their mushrooms, (for the wrap), were done in a cream sauce, so he asked if we would like potatoes substituted instead. We said yes, and it was fabulous! Hey, if you really are looking to buy a place on the beach, give Parrish with Caban Condos a shout, they are supposed to have a new development in the works soon.

Hello guys! Yes progreso is beautiful! I also live in Mérida since 2013, so I recomend you to go to Costa club Issstey this a beautiful 3 stars hotel front beach with best beach in progreso I suggest you just to pay the day pass is approximately 10 USD per person from 10am to 8pm and once you get your ticket, the restaurant gives you on your meals a free cash back of 5 USD, in that place you'll find 3 pools, private beach, a beautiful view of the pier and the marina, a small water park for kids, a little supermarket, palapas, sun chairs and more! I also recommend you to go to the marina kinuh is located 20 minutes from there, it is a beautiful small village luxury hotel into a amazing exclusive marina with the best food in it's restaurant, the suite's night is 100 USD and also is beachfront, well cafeinos that's all for now, take care and thank you for your videos, see you next time, hasta luego!

Many restaurants also have roasted vegetables you can have with rice beans and tomatoes and tortillas And some great salsas. I have been vegan way before they had vegan eatery, and I must say I have never had a problem finding thing I could eat at any restaurant. Don’t make it hard on yourself lol🤣

Hi I own a home in Progreso. Chicxulub is really small compared to Progreso. For groceries, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc. you would probably go to Progreso. Which is fine because Chicxulub is really just like a suburb of Progreso. There is no break between the two. But if you are looking at rentals I would choose to stay in Progreso somewhere between Calle 48 and Calle 76. North of Calle 27. Then you are within walking distance of everything in the nicest part of town and can always Uber out to see Chicxulub. Don’t be too fooled by the lack of waves other guys found in the summer. In December through February The whole gulf coastline gets what are called Nortés, periods of three or four days when there are big cold winds and often torrential rain. The winds and waves are so big that Progreso is world renowned for wind surfing! Enjoy your visit to Merida and Progreso. You will fall in love!

That giant 14 story, 150 condo tower monstrosity at the Yucatan Marina is in pre-sale mode, bringing in the money launderers and drug smuggler types who love to dock their boats near drop zones. I fear for the quality of life in Progreso in the future when the financial criminals start buying up the town
