Xcalak Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Cabs from Limones cost about M$500 (including to the northern hotels). Buses cost M$30, the same as to Mahahual even though they travel an hour longer.

Driving from Limones, turn right (south) after 55km and follow the signs to Xcalak (another 60km). Keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that frequents the forest and mangrove; a lot of it runs out into the road.

A taxi sporadically works the town, serving the northern hotels for M$100 and available for hire for excursions to further destinations. The route directly from Mahahual to Xcalak, known as the coastal road, was closed at the time of writing and, according to locals, might not re-open.
