Transportation and shuttle from Chicxulub to Merida

Imagine a place where gentle waves touch an endless sandy shoreline, fishing boats sway lazily in the breeze, and you can walk the streets without the rush of tourist crowds. That place is Chicxulub—a small, charming coastal town just 8 km east of Progreso and less than an hour from Mérida.

But Chicxulub isn’t just another beach destination. It holds a unique claim to fame: it’s located at the epicenter of the Chicxulub crater, the site where a massive asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, forever changing our planet’s history. Today, this sleepy fishing village blends that fascinating geological significance with the laid-back vibe of a true Yucatecan beach community.

If you’re staying here or planning a visit, our pickup service from Chicxulub to Merida offers the most convenient, safe, and comfortable way to connect the calm of the coast with the vibrant heart of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Why Chicxulub Is Worth Your Time

Many travelers overlook Chicxulub, thinking it’s “just a small town” or confusing it with busier neighbors like Progreso. But ask any local expat or frequent visitor, and they’ll tell you Chicxulub is special:

• Authentic atmosphere – It’s still primarily a fishing community, so you’ll see fishermen bringing in their daily catch.

• Wide, quiet beaches – Perfect for long walks, sunbathing, or swimming in calmer waters.

• Local eats – Small palapa restaurants serving fresh ceviche, fried fish, and coconut water.

• Cultural charm – Weekend markets in the town square, traditional festivals, and friendly residents.

With the hotel transfer from Chicxulub to Merida, you can keep your coastal escape as your base while easily accessing the museums, restaurants, and nightlife of Mérida whenever you want.
