Eladios gives you a lot of free appetizers with the purchase of a beer.

Hi Lucy,

We ended up forgoing any trips due to the crazy heat and bright sunshine. We would have been miserable out and about!!

Instead we did a little bit of shopping around Progreso (the free shuttles that run from the dock will drop you off in a crazy street shop area set up in a parking lot - be prepared!), haggled like crazy for some mexican hammocks and other trinkets, then hung out on the beach at Eladios. Free appetizers as long as you have a beer or two, REALLY good deal! It was enough for us to fill up on and be considered lunch. Here's an example of what you get at Eladios for free that comes with a $2 beer:

Then we walked about 20 feet over to a few ladies that were setup for full body massages right on the beach for $10. Sold!

All in all, I think it was one of our more relaxing days on the trip which was needed, we had been pretty busy at all the other stops!

Hi all, we are cruising in June and Progreso is one of the stops.

I have been doing extensive research on the best way of getting a Taxi from Progreso to Dzibilchaltun, then Dzibilchaltun to Merida. My hope is to be able to affordably do our own tour without being on anybody else's schedule.

I am seeing a lot of posts on the internet that Taxis can be had for $10 USD one way, and also $60 round trip.

What is the *actual* cost today? I'm not interested in paying someone to hang around for a few hours while we visit the ruins, which is apparently what you get for the $60. My hope is to grab a Taxi in Progreso, drop us off at the ruins, then we just grab another one when we are ready to leave the ruins and head to Merida. Is this feasible, and are taxis easily had at the ruins?

I also saw that Uber is a thing in that area now too? Are they just as cheap/cheaper and safe to use in that area?

Thanks for the input!
