Hotels FAQ

Question:

How much does the bus from the hotel strip into Cancun cost? Is it possible to get to Chichen-Itza with public transportation? If so, what’s the cost? If not, what does a tour cost? Thanks.

Response:

I assume u mean from the hotel zone, into cancun ‘downtown.’ I do not know exactly, but I remember it was very cheap. It’s a pretty long trip to chichen itza, so I would suggest a tour. They are kind of expensive, but u get all the comforts, like A/C, maybe a meal, maybe a TV, and maybe a tour guide. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > How much does the bus from the hotel > strip into Cancun cost? > Is it possible to get to Chichen-Itza > with public transportation?

Response:

take buses, they’re cheap, fast, reliable, AC, curtains, not overcrowded and offer you the chance to mix and mingle with others.. chitzen itza is no more than 2.5hrs from cancun.  stop in Valladolid for a day and check it out. — "When one realizes that life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels. ~ Edward Dahlberg LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE! http://www.globosapiens.net/ta-shy

Chichen-Itza is deep in the jungle, more than an hour from Cancun.  It is not accessable via public transportation. It is best to take an organized tour.  Most use 15 passenger vans, some use tour buses.   Might run you $40.  Well worth it.

Coba is a better tour and comes with a cave tour and a gran cenote tour too. Lee

I disagree, Chitzen Itza is the most famous site in Mexico and is very well preserved and very large. It is located 30 min. from Valladolid and it very well accessed by local transportation.  I took a local bus there for about $5.00 from Valladolid. My best advice though is to go early in the morning, before 9am to escape the hoards of tourists that arrive after that. and wear a hat and lotion cause there is very little shade around. check out my pics of Chitzen Itza and other places in the Yucatan by following the link below. You can also check out 2 really awesome Ceynotes in Valla. One right in the middle of the town and the other just outside. safe yourself some $ and spend a night in the hostel, very nice and quiet. about $7.00/night "When one realizes that life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels. ~ Edward Dahlberg LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE! http://www.globosapiens.net/ta-shy — "When one realizes that life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels. ~ Edward Dahlberg LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE! http://www.globosapiens.net/ta-shy
