Posts: 8Hey I'm new. I am traveling to Nuevo Progreso this weekend so I'the love to find some women to have fun with. I am parking at the US border to walk to my hotel in the city. Since I will be on foot, I'the ideally like to find a location, like a bar or other location in the city of damn near it. All the locations I find are passed the touristy places in Nuevo Progreso, any ideas on where to go?

However, a more distant view shows the back roads, avoiding the check point, if it matters.
Download GE, it's free and it's cool.

It is JUST past the Mexican checkpoint down a dirt road on the left (approx 150-200 yards off the road) enclosed with an 8ft brick wall, like most BT's. You will not pass THRU the checkpoint on your way there, nor will you pass THRU it on the way back. I've always taken a taxi, but I noticed that upon our return trip, we take the main road coming back, and the checkpoint is actually on a side road OFF the main road.

Posts: 67Directions to Progresso B.T.
I went down Saturday and did not find it. It is before or after the Federal
check point. In past forums I think it was to be a walled enclosure on the left going away from town. I looked and did not find anything like that. Went over the bridge to where the Federal check point was and turned around. Did not see any building past that. What will I have to get back thru the check point, Just US photo it or ??
Will go down later in the week if I get some help on directions. I did go down one or two of the side, dirt roads to the East just on the edge of town but did not find a walled enclosure within the edge of the town

Posts: 1807Good info Rick 2. You can run up $40 in taxi fares getting there and back, so like you I prefer to drive. There's a good chance you'll get stopped by police, but they'll steal less from you (maybe $20) than the taxi drivers. To get there, you just need to get on the road heading out of town that goes to Piedras Negras, Saltillo and Monterrey. You can hook a left immediately after you pass customs; drive about 2 miles to the main highway; then hook a left on the highway. You'll pass a Pemex station on your right AFTER you leave town (not to be confused with another Pemex station that's in town) and immediately after Pemex an arch that goes over top of highway. Continue on and maybe 1/2 a mile after the arch there's a dirt road on your left that goes up a hill. Boystown is on top of the hill, and you can't see it from the highway. In fact, you can't see any buildings or houses -- it looks like the road goes to nowhere. You can recognize this road two other ways -- 1. There are really two dirt roads, one on the right for going up the hill and one on the left for coming down the hill, and 2. The dirt roads are about 100 yards before you get to the Y in the main highway -- the left part of the Y goes to Piedras Negras and the right part to Saltillo/Monterrey. If it's your first time there, go ahead and drive all the way to the Y, then make a U and come back 100 yards and make a right and go to the top of the hill.
The other club by Hunters is the Rio. The clubs on the top of the hill are hit and miss -- on some nights (usually weekends) they're better than you describe. But the best talent, looks wise, is in Hunters.
The best hotel for the monger is the Best Western. If you follow directions above, you'll pass it on your right about 5 blocks after Customs, before you get to the main highway that goes to Monterrey/Piedras Negras.
The best restaurant IMHO is is Lando's. There's one downtown in the tourist zone, another on the Monterrey/Piedras Negras highway you'll pass on your right on the way to boystown. The other Lando's is located downtown in the tourist area, close to another well known (but overrated) restaurant, Crosby's. To get to the tourist area, just drive straight after you pass customs. There are some bars in this area that are fun. Two of the old standbys are Corona Club and Pancho's.

The “zona”, such as it is, is on top of a hill outside of town. I’m sorry I’m not able to give exact directions on how to get there, but if you get a taxi to take you the first time, and you pay attention, it seems easy to get to when you go in your own vehicle later.
The road leading up to the zone is steep, unpaved, and poorly maintained. I suggest using your own vehicle only if it has high ground clearance, such as a pickup, SUV, or Jeep.
If you don’t wish to take your vehicle into Mexico you can park for free near the bridge on the American side.
At the top of the hill you will encounter two clubs. One is called Hunter’s, I have forgotten the name of the other, although I’m told they’re owned by the same person and operate pretty much the same.
The name “Hunter’s” is not someone’s name, instead it refers to one who engages in the activity of hunting. There are animal heads on the walls and the ambience brings to mind a hunting lodge. Someone put substantial effort into creating a nice club; it has an American feel and it’s comparable in quality to a moderately-upscale establishment in the U.S. The clientele is by-and-large white guys who may very likely be hunters. The quality of these clubs is surprising given their remote location.
Girls dance from poles while music plays, just like a strip club in the U.S. The difference is that strip joints in the U.S. don’t have rooms in the back, if you catch my drift. The selection merchandise is reasonably wide, and prices are on a par with what you can expect to pay in Papagayo’s in NLBT.
There are no door girls as in Reynosa or NLBT.
Further up the hill from the initial two clubs is a large place called “Camelas.” Camelas seems to be fairly nice, however, on the night I visited, the only people there were the bartender and a couple of male customers. On either side of Camelas is a series of smaller run-down places. These smaller places were reminiscent of some of the NLBT places: the lights were on, and music was playing, but no one was there, not even the bartender!
My opinion is that Acuña is worth visting only if you are already passing by Del Rio for other purposes. It is not a destination location. Acuña is not especially expensive but not as cheap as NLBT or Reynosa. But if you’re in the area, check it out. You’ll be glad you did.
