RENTAL CAR
(approx.

signposts indicate "Playa del Carmen" and "Tulum". Keep on the highway
past Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, Chemuyil until you reach
kilometer 233, a few hundred yards later there is a crossroads with
traffic lights, turn right (marked "Cobá"). After 150 yards, you will
find Cave Heaven on your left-hand side. You can check our Google map to

Some
driving tips ....
-
Turning
Before
making any turn in Mexico ALWAYS look both ways to check for traffic.
Beware when turning left from the highway. If there is a special lane
provided do as you normally would but look behind making sure traffic
is clear before you turn. Someone may try to pass you. At other times,
when making a left hand turn from the highway in more obscure
locations, ALWAYS check your rear view mirror first! It is customary to
pull off the road to your right, put your left blinker or emergency
flashers on and wait for traffic to clear. With no one else in either
direction make your left turn.
-
Passing
When
traveling on the highway be alert and vigilant for aggressive drivers.
Let tailgaters pass. Drivers in the on-coming lane may choose to pass
and cross the centerline of the highway at unexpected times. Be ready
to move right.
BY
CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN CAR
We
can arrange a private limo service to pick you up in front of your
arrival terminal, the driver will be holding a sign for you. This is
recommended for early morning and late night arrivals, when the bus
service is not operating, since the taxis often hike up their rates in
the knowledge that you have few available options.
BY
PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND/OR TAXI
By
public transport (approx. 2 hours): upon arrival at your terminal, ask
for the ADO bus to Playa del Carmen. These air-conditioned buses leave
the airport
at regular intervals. Once at the Playa terminal, change to a bus bound
for the Tulum downtown bus station (approx.
cost USD 15).
