Progreso

Progreso is now a large, urban village in the municipality of Jiutepec, 2.6 km east of the municipal seat at roughly 1,363 meters above sea level. The 2020 census counted 16,746 residents (8,643 women and 8,103 men), up from 14,525 in 2010 and 12,654 in 2005: about four thousand more people in fifteen years, and the second largest of the municipality's 29 localities.

The climate is warm and semi-arid: an average annual temperature of about 20 °C, around 800 mm of rain a year, January as the coolest month and April as the hottest, according to Pueblos de America. Nearly all homes have electricity and piped water, and internet access rose from 23% in 2010 to over 60% in 2020.

The immediate surroundings are low hills: La Corona (1,681 m) is 2.5 km east, Las Iguanas 2.7 km to the southeast and Las Palmas about 4 km south. The closest localities are the Cazahuatal ejido, about 400 m away, Lomas del Texcal and Ampliacion Las Fuentes.

There is a health center under the village's name in the Morelos health department network. It is not a sightseeing stop; its interest for a traveler is that it belongs to the Cuernavaca metropolitan area and sits about 16 km from Tepoztlan.
