  • We had such an amazing time in Progreso! It's an easy day trip from Merida and there's so much to do in this part of Yucatan. From flamingos to cenotes and beautiful pink salt flats, we think we found the best day trip from Merida!

    Ah, those aren't alligators, they are crocodiles. They probably live off the raccoons, coatis, iguanas and everything else you were watching. Cool trip you guys are taking. My wife and I did Mrida, Progreso, Campeche and Puerto Morelos last summer.

    Wow! Nice b-roll and slo mo shots! I heard there’s a place near Merida and around a 5 or 6 hour drive from Cancun to this place called “las coloradas”. You might find it interesting it’s got pink water as well but great wider shots are taken in this place... so cool you may wanna check that out

    • @FeatherandtheWind

    Great videos Feli & Wes, very good quality and very informative. I visited Progreso 35 years ago with my parents and brothers, obviously many things have changed but the natural beauty of Mexico is still awesome. Saludos from CdMx.
    PS. Felicia one question, where do your family come from?

      Hey Andrew, we booked our tour off of one of the local vendors along the main 'malecon'. It wasn't intentionally a private tour but we lucked out since no other travellers were there that day. Enjoy!

    FYI. The taxis hang out in the main square. Some ruins should have also been included in the tour. I paid $350 for transportation then it costs $90 to go into the nature reserve and $50 to visit the ruins. I also saw very few flamingos.

    One peso converts to five cents in American money so the 400 pesos is twenty bucks. Pretty cheap if you convert it. And get all the info and interacting with a local person who knows the history. They have hundreds of varieties of corn in Mexico adn they are not genetically modified althought they have been trying to sneak their seeds into their crops. They have to monitor all the time. If more than one ear grows out from the stalk in one place it is a sign it is a genetically modified plant. One area of Mexico they have numerous varieties all different for different uses, some cook better than others etc. I am dying for a ear of corn that is not gentically modified. I read that all the yellow varieities in the groceries are gmo but that the white corn is not. Maybe it as changed now.
