Progreso: Ghost Town Tour + Beach Club in a Classic Beetle

4. Progreso: Ghost Town Tour + Beach Club in a Classic Beetle

Travel in a classic Beetle to explore the abandoned town of Misnebalam. Once a lively town during the 20th Century henequén boom, a murdered hacienda owner and history of paranormal activity has left it empty since 2005. Return to Progreso and relax on the white sand of a stunning local beach club. Start the excursion by collecting your Beetle in Progreso and driving out to Misnebalam, a nearby ghost town where the empty buildings are now being reclaimed by nature. Misnebalam was inhabited from 1910 to 2005 and produced henequén, a plant fiber used to make rope and textiles. The hacienda’s original owner was assassinated in 1921 and the locals started to believe that witches influenced by Chaneques, gremlin-like spirits, were chasing them off the land. Afterwards, you’ll drive back to Progreso and have some time to relax at a local beach club. With access to the club’s facilities, you’ll be able to take a swim and enjoy a drink on the magnificent white sand beach. To end the day trip, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation or the cruise terminal.
