We just returned from a week in Merida where we spent 2 days in Progreso Beach, 1 day in Chinen Itza, 1 day visiting indigenous Mayan communities, and the rest of the time exploring Merida. Yucatan is a beautiful state with rich culture, wonderful people, great food and shopping. We felt very safe the whole time. We loved our trip and hope to return.
So glad you liked it! 👍
MAY 2024. Just spent 10 days in Progreso. Although this is the off season for most foreign travellers, Progreso is a very friendly, safe town, with many Restaurants and places to get a cold one as this time of year was 40C + most days. While, I was there, I noticed that there was not much nightlife, as most establishments were closed by 10:00 p.m.
If you are looking for a safe and quiet destination the Progreso and area are ideal.
Ideal for Retired expats and this area is growing at a phenomenal rate. Only 20 minutes from Merida with many big city options with Costco , Walmart and shopping centres.
New sub nice video
The Malecon is 100x nicer now
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Chicxulub Yucatan ✌️🐶
Awesome! Thank you! 👍
Merida/Progresso looks like a fun location to live!
It truly is! 👍
Other than the various ruins and cenotes, it's probably the most boring place we've ever lived. We're moving to Queretaro to escape the unbearable heat and humidity, and the lack of things to do besides eat and drink. And the food is pretty disappointing.
@@josephsmith961 I have heard Puebla and Durango Mexico are great places to visit or live in Mexico! 🇲🇽
Very helpful information-thanks 😊
Glad it was useful for you!
Gran video
Gracias amigo! 💪
Beautiful palm trees great music choices btw
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
Love the video I can live here
Me too 😄👍
With the rise of the value of the Mexican Peso, people will be surprised these price will be much different. ❤
👍
Are there good furnished rentals a few blocks from the beach with an ocean view?
Where can we look for a good rental preferably a condo. Gracias
Yes there are many I think
Can I piggyback on your comments? I'd love to hear/see housing rentals in this area.
I keep hearing that elotes horn and OMG I MISS THAT 😭🤦♀️🤣🤣
👍🤣
An ocean view condo is 2k usd, minimum unless doing a year lease
👍
Tell it like it is my man. These videos are such BS.
Hey! Would you consider it to be a good place for a traveling bar/restaurant musician?
Short answer is yes
Not really. There's a couple of guys that play violins, but they don't make much money. I think you'd probably starve there.
are there dive shops in progreso. what is the local diving like
are there golf courses nearby what are the rates like
I’m sure there are golf courses
There are no golf courses in Progreso. You'd have to go to Merida, and they don't list the fees. I know 2 of them are country clubs and you have to be a member. What's really important to know is you'll be playing golf in 100F+ weather with 60-95% humidity. We tried to play here, and it was miserable. And there's no diving in Progreso, the water is very murky and polluted from all the cruise ships coming and going, and dumping waste. Progreso as a concept, with the Malecon, is great, but the reality is it's a dirty, pebble beach with a strip of bars and sketchy "high end" restaurants, The vendors will drive you crazy on the beach too, waking you up even to try and sell you some junk trinkets.
I saw Progresso on a hurricane Gilbert Video one time. Very poor in 1988. All I saw were shed homes and a coca cola shop.
Not Progreso is booming, lots of expats move there
Which location is nicer…La Paz or Progresso?
In my opinion - La Paz
Ok thanks!
Where can I find a nice apt there I look online and all I see are expensive ocean houses. I am moving to merida just not sure when I'm helping our with my grammy right now 🥰
Facebook marketplace or Locanto is the best for budget housing
@@4KTravelChannel Thank you 😊
Do you know any good realtors there than can help with apt searching.
@@realoneamariyanna3282 at the moment I can't recommend any, but you don't really need a realtor unless you don't speak Spanish. For a small fee ($30-50) anyone can help you find a place
@@4KTravelChannel Thank you and we speak Spanish too. So how do we go about getting a place there then.
@@realoneamariyanna3282 by looking for a place online
Is this a new video?
I thought the Main Street was closed to traffic?
Why is it so much sand and water in the ground?
Sorry it seams different than other videos…
Filmed last year.
@@4KTravelChannel that is probably why people some people are still wearing face covers outside.
What about night life in progreso ?
Limited nightlife
None. If you're young, there's nightlife in Merida, but really the entire area is boring, boring, boring.
Old video. It’s so much nicer! Can’t drive on the malecon! We have the new meteorite museum!
Thats awesome! New video coming soon!
Gym membership is expensive compared to everything else
👍
So gas is more expensive there than the Americas it's 3.43 here
Should be 22 pesos per litro
Right now it's about 5.50 a gallon.
I'm in Merida, hmu if anyone wants to make a beach day happen.
Great idea
I was there one day, ran from the cops, and then ran from the robners
Thailand is better imo.
Depends
@@4KTravelChannel no not depends, every aspect of beaches in Thailand is so much better. More guesthouses, much more variety of food, cheaper scooter rentals, locals speak English, everything is made in Asia so availability of products is better, etc etc. Every Mexican beach town I’ve gone to was extremely underwhelming.
@@TaoDeChing-ls5gz - well based on your name you are Asian, so of course you are going to favor Asian countries. In that case stay in Asia.
@@nis4nikki1 I’m actually from Ghana, just well travelled. Maybe you should travel more. Cheers.
@@nis4nikki1 And btw I said Thailand, not the entire Asia, you know Asia includes Afghanistan that doesn’t have any beaches, right? Lol
The prices on here are ridiculously off. Electricity is going to be 200+ a month if you want air conditioning. Internet starts at 60US. Water is the only thing that is really cheap. Take all of these BS prices and double or triple them. Progreso is NOT a resort area. It's a pebble beach with murky, polluted water, and about 2 dozen restaurants and bars. Food is sketchy at best, and because it's a stop off for cruise ships, they will try to rip you off. Lots of vendors driving you crazy selling crap, they'll even wake you up on the beach to try and sell you something.
"Luxury" is in the eyes of the beholder. There is no such thing in Progeso unless you're wealthy. Don't watch these videos and expect honesty, because you're either being hustled by a real estate company, or the cruise industry. If you want nice beaches and a resort atmosphere, you'll have to go to Cancun, Tulum, Playa De Carmen, etc. This is a beach outing for your average local families, not rich tourists.
The prices are realistic, I don't know why you pay 3x the cost. Maybe because you are a foreigner.
I hate reading,bye
Bye
What’s with all the face diapers outside in 2023?
