PolybiusSquare Posted January 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am going to do the "Merida on Foot" tour, where basically, the bus drops you off in Merida, gives you a map, and lets you loose. Do you know where the bus drops you off, so I can start looking at it on Google Maps and trying to find interesting things to do in walking distance from there? Any must-see recommendations in the area? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is surrounded by many historic buildings; Catedral de Merida, Olimpio Center and the Municipal Palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificMountain2012 Posted January 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I believe the bus Autoprogreso sends you on on the "Merida By Foot" is their city bus which runs to and from Merida and Progreso all day. That bus drops you off about two blocks south of the plaza, easy walk. Do a google search for "grupo autoprogreso" and click on the map. There is a great shopping area a couple blocks east of the terminal as well. We toured Merida a couple years ago and loved it. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsknotsew Posted January 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm looking at that tour for our cruise coming up shortly. Did you do it and, if so, where did you go and how long did you stay in Merida? Just curious if you liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybugbk Posted March 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2015 This is what we are doing in a few weeks when we stop in Progreso. I am excited to explore a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolparty4 Posted June 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2015 We did this tour a few years ago. This is a city bus that the locals use for transportation. You will make a lot of stops going and coming picking up and letting off people. It lets you of at the bus terminal about 2 blocks from the center of town. We went back to the bus terminal when we were finished and they put us on the next bus back to Progreso. Be sure to budget your time for the trip back and allow for the stops it will make so you don't miss the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadethegringo Posted June 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We did this as an excursion a few years ago. Since then our friend has bought a house in merida. We are booked on a cruise that boards in Progreso. I have done some research and have found that Autoprogreso has busses scheduled every 10 minutes back and forth from merida and progreso.
