Getting There By Road
There are two main highways out of Cancun. Highway 307 follows the coast south through Tulum to Chetumal and the Belize border. Highway 180 heads down the peninsula to Valladolid where it branches out, forming connections to Chichen Itza, Merida and on to the rest of the country, including the capital, Mexico City. The highways are generally of good quality. Mexico has an extensive, fast and comfortable bus network. First and second-class buses leave from the bus station on the junction of the avenidas Uxmal and Tulum. Main destinations include Merida, Campeche, Chetumal and Mexico City. Tourist destinations such as Chichen Itza, Tulum and Valladolid are also well served by Playa Express (tel: (998) 884 0994). Two of the most reliable companies are Uno (website: www.uno.com.mx) and Ado GL (website: www.adogl.com.mx). Tickets for these and any operators in the country can be bought online through Ticket Bus (tel: 1 800 702 8000; website: www.ticketbus.com.mx). The bus station can be reached on (tel: (998) 8845542).
