This isn’t just a food tour, it’s a chance to experience Progreso through the eyes of a local. Instead of tourist restaurants, you’ll follow a local expert where recipes are still made the traditional way.

What makes this experience unique is the personal connection. You’ll meet the people behind the food, hear the stories of Progreso’s coastal and Mayan heritage, and learn why Yucatán cuisine is unlike any other in Mexico.
