Things To Do in Yucatan (Progreso)

Merida Spanish Architecture, Yucatan, Mexico

The White City

The town of Merida is known for its colonial charm, boutiques, bazaars, luxury inns and lively café scene. Nicknamed 'The White City' for its pearl-white Spanish architecture, this is where you can explore Plaza Grande, peek in art galleries, admire Paseo de Montejo’s sculptures and peruse the region’s best museums during your Yucatan cruise.

View of Ancient Mayan Ruins Called Chicne Itza, Yucatan, Mexico

Preserved with Perfection

Unlock ancient Mayan mysteries while combing the crumbling ruins of Chichén Itzá. Admire Puuc-style palaces, grand temples, the Great Ball Court and sky-high El Castillo pyramid on a tour of one of the most stunning and well-preserved Mayan sites on the planet.

Deep Cenote Underground Sinkholes, Yucatan, Mexico

Deep Discovery

Jump feet-first into the sparkling turquoise waters of a cenote. These magical underground sinkholes nestled in the Yucatecan jungle were once considered sacred by the Maya. Today you can jump right in for a swim or cave diving, with some even offering restaurants and spa amenities.

Local Cuisine

Many Mexican dishes feature chilli peppers, which can be pickled, smoked, stuffed or stewed. Restaurants lining Calle 19 serve fresh seafood dishes and Yucatecan tamales, which are typically filled with chicken and cooked in underground ovens. Cochinita pibil (pork in savoury achiote sauce) is a local signature, as is xtabentúm, a honey-anisette liqueur and sacred Mayan ceremonial drink.

Shopping

A collection of souvenir shops are located at the cruise terminal. At the Progreso Crafts Market local artisans sell handmade jewellery, woven blankets, onyx carvings and replicas of Mayan artefacts. Hit the farmer’s market for fresh tropical fruit – or head to Merida’s market district for locally made goods.
