Driving yourself

by DSwede

Despite the money in the local state and municipalities, the roads central Veracruz are some of the worst. The road starting a little east of Villahermosa, continuing through Coatzacoalcos and Minatitlan is riddled with bad pot holes. Unless you know this road, I highly recommend not driving at night. Actually, regardless of which road, night driving is not recommended.If you driving on the "libres" (free road) as opposed to the "cuota" (Mexican toll road), watch out for "topes" (speed bumps). They are not always well marked, sign posted or visible until you are right on them.If you are on the cuota, you can pay with credit card if you want by taking the lane that says "intermodial". But sometimes the credit systems are not functional, particularly if the weather is bad. Always keep some cash available.There are many check points on all the roads down here, local police, Federales,...

The Subway System (Metro)

by pedroebc

backpackers who arrive at or depart from the bus terminals, normally use the Metro. My recommendation e use of common sense, crime prevention rules apply anywhere, to include the Metro System in this.Once you enter it, PLEASE make sure you know and understand where you are located and the destination point you intend to reach. Getting lost in the subway and if unable to communicate in Spanish is something you want to avoid. Also, memorize or at least try to identify ahead of time the Transfer Stations in order to change routes. Be careful when entering and departing the subway cars. These open and close fast. Obey the restrictive lines, meant for your protection. Beware of pickpockets and possible harassment if in crowded situations. Metro users will push their way through and the experience may not be pleasant, comfortable. However, the rides will be enjoyable, safe, nice, if you use...

InsideLosCabos Affordable Taxi&Shuttle

by Hokitika

When you go on holiday you need to feel relaxed, allow yourself to admire the landscape and let yourself carried away with the joy of doing as much or as little as you want. To do just that good transportation is essential. Especially in a crowded place like Los Cabos, getting the best taxi or airport shuttle service can be quite a hassle. Nevertheless, I bumped into www.insideloscabos.com on the net. They are offering a very good on line booking system. They've been very helpful in explaining me what I could do in terms of tours and activities once I got to Los cabos. At the airport, the driver waited for us outside with a paper with our name on it, so it was very easy to spot him and as soon as we came on board, we went off. Other tourist had to ait until their shuttles got filled, but we rode privately which was great! The driver spoke fair English and since some of the tours were...

by yeah_baby

If you'd like to view the countryside and don't mind a little extra time 'on the road', try going by train. It can be caught out of Mexicali or Nogales along the border, or Mexico City to the southeast to Guadalajara or Tepic; then take the bus to Puerto Vallarta. If you plan to sail to Puerto Vallarta, you will need to follow all Mexican regulations for entering their territorial waters. Also, upon arriving at the marina or your anchorage, you'll need to submit your papers to the Captain of the Port for legal entry. Please contact the Mexican consulate nearest you. By AirFlying is the most popular way to get to Puerto Vallarta. Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) is located approximately 6 kilometers north of downtown. The newly remodeled airport has a bank, souvenir shops and restaurants. Car rentals are also available at the airport. Most major Mexican & U.S. airlines fly...
