About Progresso
 Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula is rich with ancient Mayan pyramids, vine-covered archaeological wonders, gentle people, and a fiery cuisine unlike that served in the rest of Mexico.

Look for traditional embroidered huipil cottons and colorful string hammocks for friends back home.
Progresso Attractions
This is your chance to make like a great explorer. Travel into the jungle, explore the grand stone ruins of the ancient Mayans, Chichén Itzá or Uxmal and try to unlock the secrets of the rise and fall of this great civilization.

About Cozumel
 The crystal clear water surrounding Cozumel makes it a favorite for divers and sun-seekers from around the world. Found on the Yucatan peninsula, it is the largest of Mexico's islands and steeped in history, tracing Mayan descendants from 300 A.D. In town, there is shopping for local crafts and dining in colorful restaurants.
Cozumel Attractions
Don't miss the opportunity to explore the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tulúm, majestically perched above the turquoise Caribbean. The site was occupied as far back as 600 A.D. However, it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D. You will be struck by the pyramid-shaped El Castillo, which dominates the city from atop a forty-foot cliff. The nearby Temple of the Descending God provides equally excellent insight into the architecture of the Mayan people, who gained considerable achievements in the arts and sciences, only to decline and vanish for no apparent reason.
Cozumel Activities
- Explore the underwater world of Chankanaab on a deep-sea adventure aboard the Atlantis Submarine.
- Discover what makes a dolphin so magical as you play and interact with these amazing creatures in Chankanaab National Marine Park.
- Sit back, relax, and bury your toes in the white sand of Playa del Sol beach in Cozumel. This destination offers all the food, drinks and activities you can imagine, including relaxing massages on the beach.
- Take a Jeep-safari adventure through the tropical landscape of Cozumel's east side. Ride through sand dunes and trails for an unforgettable experience.
- Join the Fiesta party boat for a fun-filled trip to Playa del Sol, with margaritas, rum punch and a live band setting the mood for fun.
- Helmet dive in Chankanaab and trek around coral reefs to see the abundant marine life up close.
