nopqrstuv Posted March 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2007 It sounds as if there is a city bus in Progresso that you can take to Merida. Are the buses well marked? Where is the bus stop in relation to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted March 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2007 When the courtesy bus drops you in Progreso, just ask directions to the regular Progreso bus terminal. $3.00 RT. Frequent and reliable bus service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopqrstuv Posted March 11, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thanks. I'll have two younger children, a husband and two seniors in tow so I like to be prepared. Do you know if it's long walk to the progreso bus terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted March 11, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Its about three blocks. When you arrive at the Merida bus terminal, walk out to the street, turn right and the central plaza of the historical area is only two or three blocks.

hdawson Posted March 18, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2007 At a different bus terminal in Merida, I think there is bus service. I considered taking a bus to Santa Elaina (10 miles from Uxmal) to a B&B and then visit Uxmal. I decided to rent a car at Hotel Fiesta Americana in Merida. I emailed the staff at http://www.yucatantoday.com for information about bus service, they responde in a couple of days. Not sure about an express bus but otherwise there would be intermediate stops. There are tours from the hotels in Merida but they must be booked a day ahead at the hotel and would probably take 6 or 7 hours. The tours include a very good buffet lunch the tours leave Merida at about 9AM. There are tour guides fluent in several languages. I used a tour company to visit Chichen Itza about 5 yrs ago and was in a van with a group from Holland which didn't speak english. The guide hooked me up with another van group at the ruins which was english speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
