Ports of Call Tours in Merida

Set out from your Progreso port of call for an on shore excursion of Uxmal, an ancient Mayan ceremonial site about 50 miles south of Merida that is renowned for the Puuc architectural style of its ruins. Spend your day touring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, visiting such remarkable structures as the Pyramid of the Magician and the Governor's Palace and learning the history of this once-flourishing city from your knowledgable guide. Enjoy a box lunch on your return trip to port.

Discover both the Yucatan capital of Merida and Dzibilchaltun - an ancient Mayan archeological site - on a shore excursion from your Progreso port of call. Begin with a sightseeing tour of Merida, the peninsula's cultural center. View the elegant 19th century mansions along its Paseo de Montejo and pay a visit to the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya - an artifact-filled museum dedicated to Mayan civilization. Next explore the Dzibilchaltun ruins and its intriguing Temple of the Dolls. You can even go for a swim onsite before returning to port.

Enjoy exclusive access to Chichen Itza on this day shore excursion from Progreso port, just north of Merida.

Learn its history as an ancient Mayan capital while exploring such ruins as the Great Ball Court - Mesoamerica's largest - and the imposing Temple of the Jaguars. Afterward, spend an hour exploring on your own before returning to port via Mercedes minivan.
