Cancún Getting there & around

Getting around

Bus & tram

Bus

To reach the Zona Hotelera from downtown, catch any bus with ‘R1, ’ ‘Hoteles’ or ‘Zona Hotelera’ displayed on the windshield as it travels along Av Tulum toward Av Cobá, then eastward on Av Cobá. The one-way fare is M$6.50, but since change is often unavailable this varies between M$6 and M$7. To reach Puerto Juárez and the Isla Mujeres ferries, catch a Ruta 13 (‘Pto Juárez’ or ‘Punta Sam’; M$4) bus heading north on Av Tulum. Some R1 buses make this trip as well; tickets cost M$6.50.
