Telchac Puerto is a port town located about one hour north east of the City of Mérida (65 kilometers) and 30 minutes from Progreso, making it just far enough away from the denser population areas so that it maintains a laid-back feeling.
Telchac Puerto has a lot of useful services including clean budget priced hotels and a 5 star resort on the edge of town. One small hotel Libros y Suenos offers wireless internet access and an English Language bookstore. There is also a bakery and several seafood restaurants, a small market and clinic, pay phones (to be used with phone cards), a tortilla place, a harbor that has a gas pump, a hardware store, fried fish stands and more. There are no banks.
There is town plaza, a park with a children's play area and a lighthouse on the small seaside promenade. Three miles west of Telchac Puerto, inland, you will find the Mayan temples if Xcambo. For breakfast, try Libros y Suenos. For lunch and dinner there are a number of good restaurants serving ceviche, fried fish, shrimp cocktails, and fish fillet.
During July and August, the main plaza is especially folkloric as the fair is in town with booths offering foods, knick-knacks and mechanical rides.
The Patron Saint of Telchac is San Diego de Alcala and the festivities are in November.
To get to Telchac Puerto, go from Mérida up north towards Progreso and go east when you reach the beach. Or go to Motul, and head north to the beach from there.
