Progreso - this the port town for the city of Merida and the state of Yucatan. The town combines the colonial charm of old Mexico with the relaxation and laid-back lifestyle of the Caribbean. It is a place where the "rush" may be an odd thing that happens now and then when you go to the city - but at home? It's simply not a concept people know in day to day life. Beautiful beaches, palm trees, sunshine, colorful homes, relaxed people, smiling and friendly, fresh fruit an vegetables, delicious food and slow afternoons sipping coffee or beer on a sidewalk patio - these are the things life is made of, at least when you're in Progreso!
