My wife and I are arriving in Cancun Jan 5/2012 and are to travel to Merida by bus. Does anyone know where the bus station is from the Cancun airport and what bus number or bus do we take to Merida?

We will be arriving in Progreso by Carnival on Oct24. Carnival does not seem to offer very many good shore excursion in progreso. The ones that are good are really expensive. Can anyone advise how much you can get the basically same shore excursions for if you wait and book when you get off the ship? Are these safe and reliable? We cant afford to miss getting back in time to get on the ship.

Are there any locals offering fishing? We will be arriving in Progresso on Oct 24 on Carnival, we will only be there for a short time. I was wondering if there are any fishing excursions to be found, one that they will possibly cook your catch, so you can enjoy it before its time to get back onboard.

What is the weather in Progreso for all 12 months, and how much rain.

we will be arriving there April 4, 2011 and are interested in renting jet skis. Is there a place to do this and also what about renting a car for the day? I would appreciate any information everyone has.

We will be flying into Cancun in January. We need to know the cheapest and safest way to travel from Cancun to Progresso.

Are there jet ski rentals and other activities to do in progresso? It's one of my ports on the cruise I'm going on in January...and Carnival doesn't have very many "fun" options for their shore excursions.

We are planning to travel to Progreso mid-Feb. We may rent a villa on the beach. Has anyone travelled during that time of year to that area? Is it warm enough to swim and mostly is the sea good for swimming?
As well, do you think we would need a car or taking cabs and public buses good enough for traveling around the area and sightseeing?

I'll be arriving at Merida airport from Montreal January 2009 late in the evening, my destination Chicxulub. Can I hire a private driver to pick me and take me to my destination, or should I use an airport taxi to do so...What is the cost for this ....Any suggestions much appreciated...

I am cruising on Carnival & will be in Progreso 12/10/08. How far is this reserve from cruise pier ? What are your recomendations on transportation for this destination ?

We are struggling with whether to rent a car or take the buses during our trip to Progreso May 24 through 31. Do you....or anyone...have info on private drivers ?

We will be in Progresso for several hours. Looking for best beach - do not want ot pay$$$ to go to one of the all inclusive places. Would like chairs, drink available and snorkling - appreciate any and all ideas.

Are there any internet cafes at or near the Port of Progreso? I am traveling to Progreso in January and need access to the internet to send and receive data. Can anyone provide any information.

IS THERE BUS TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM MERIDA INTL AIRPORT?

1. We are staying in Uaymitun for January 2008. So far, we do not plan to rent a car as we've heard that public transportation is plentiful and cheap. I'd love suggestions of day trips we could take. I realize that we are staying in a fairly isolated place so I'm interested in other travelers experiences staying in this area. I'm concerned that I may get bored!! I like to do something interesting at least part of every day and not just lay around the pool/beach.

2. I have to keep in fairly regular touch with my family in Canada as I have an elderly somewhat unwell parent. Where is the closest internet cafe? Is there any wireless access in the area at all?

3. Is it easy to find groceries? Would it be difficult to transport a few large shopping bags in the public bus/combi?

Thanks for any and all help!

Buenas Dias....I will be vacationing in the Progreso/Uaymitun area for one month winter of 2007.....my question(s) Do I need to know Spanish fluently or will I be able to get by with certain phrases??...(am taking Spanish lesson once weekly until December) Secondly, will I need to rent a vehicle to travel for groceries etc. to and from Progreso-Merida-Uaymitun ?? I have been warned by others not to rent a car....Thirdly, are there adequate ATM machines in Progreso?? Gracias...Hasta pronto....La madre

In Playa del Carmen we noticed the beaches were top-optional. How about the beaches in Progreso? Are they the same or are "topless beachers" not allowed? Thanks.

I visited a web site with properties for sale in the Chicxulub/Progreso area and fell in love with the water, laid back atmosphere, etc. My husband and I are planning a trip to this area at the end of May 2005 to scout the area and see some properties. Do you know anyone else that have made that move? We live in Florida and are tired of the rat race and stress. Are we crazy for wanting to do that? I'm not sure if we can obtain a visa to be able to live permanently in Mexico - we do not plan on working. I will contact the Embasy/Consulate in Miami for more info on this subject. Will it be cheaper to buy a car locally or ship our own; any info along these lines about living there full time will be greatly appreciated.

I want to buy some property along the coast near progreso,Yucatan,Mexico. How do I find someone who will help me and not rip me of? Can someone give me a name and how to contact them? Where should I stay when I am there?
