Chicxulub Puerto (IPA: [tʃikʃuˈlub] ⓘ) is a small coastal town in Progreso Municipality in the Mexican state of Yucatán. It is located on the Gulf of Mexico , in the northwestern region of the state about 8 km (5 mi) east of the city port of Progreso , the municipality seat, and 42 km (26 mi) north of the city of Mérida , the state capital.
It was the principal port of Yucatán during the henequen boom, later overshadowed when the more modern port of Progreso was built to the east.
