    I live in Progreso and this video is recent and very good. We very rarely use our air conditioning, but September of this year was horribly hot and humid. Your estimate for water is way too high. I don't know anyone who pays more than 100 pesos every two months and many pay nothing as they have only wells and no city water at all. Your estimate of 400 pesos from Merida to Progreso is correct if you take a taxi. The Autoprogreso bus is much more economical at 23 pesos and is comfortable and air conditioned. Good job on this video - Anne

    Hello Mariana, just finding your video here about Progresso and comments about real estate agents. I’ve been in Puerto Escondido now for almost a week and have asked several times on the website for assistance finding a real estate agent or someone that could help me with long-term rental here in Puerto Escondido with no luck.
    You have mentioned that there is a list on the site with real estate agents and their locations I can’t find it

    With how the money needed in the bank AND what they want you to make a year it's getting impossible unless you're "well off". We could live great there with just the money from selling the house / land and my disability, BUT every year it gets more expensive to just get there, even if my wife and I wouldn't be a drag on the economy there...
    It's sad, it was both of our dreams, just not rich enough to live cheaper IF that makes sense..? 😕
