You will also experience the legacy of Yucatán’s “green gold” at a traditional henequen hacienda, taste the region’s iconic Huevos Motuleños in its place of origin, and visit the stunning pink salt flats of Xtampú. To complete the journey, you’ll enjoy free time at Progreso Beach, where the Gulf of Mexico provides the perfect setting to relax and unwind.
