Buses around the Riviera Maya region can be found at the bus stations in Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, and Cancun. To find out what locations each bus will stop at, just check the schedules posted in the stations.

First-Class buses are highly recommended if you are traveling between two major stations like Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

Second-Class buses are great for exploring the beautiful beaches and stops along the way. They may have fewer amenities like no air-conditioning. But, the most convenient aspect is that the driver will stop anywhere you want if there is a place to pull over.

Fares depend on where you are going and which class of bus you are taking. In general, it is a great way to get around the region inexpensively.

Taxis

Taxis are not hard to find. Many times they're waiting for you outside your hotel.

Prices within the area are a set price, but ask your hotel what a reasonable fare is before you head out. If you want to hire a taxi to take you to Chichén-Itzá or around the Riviera Maya, expect to pay about $30 per hour, as they feel they are also providing guide services.

Negotiate the price before you get in the taxi.
