Famous Cities. By Barbara Ramírez Castro.

Progreso and Cancun are located in the peninsula of México and they are quite the opposite the only similarity is that they are both beaches 

Cancun is located in Quintana Roo and Progreso in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Cancun is known for being one of the main tourist areas in Mexico and on the contrary, Progreso that is better known by the inhabitants of Yucatan than by tourists. 

Progreso and Cancun are similar up to a certain point. Cancun is known for its shopping areas and its hotels and Progreso is the opposite since it is known for its food and its rural areas.

Cancun water is almost crystalline and Progreso water yes and no, it depends on the tide and the time of year.

In Cancun, there is usually a lot of sargassum, and in Progreso absolutely not.
