Discover the Enchanting Yucatán Peninsula

Getting There

• Car

  To reach the Yucatán Peninsula from any location in the Baja California Peninsula by car, start by getting onto the Transpeninsular Highway (Mex 1) heading south. Drive along Mex 1 until you reach the city of La Paz. From La Paz, you will need to take a ferry to the mainland. The ferry service from La Paz to Mazatlán usually costs around $200-$300 MXN per person and takes approximately 10 hours. Once you arrive in Mazatlán, continue driving southeast on Highway 15D to reach the city of Culiacán. From Culiacán, take Highway 40 to Durango and then Highway 45 to reach the city of Torreón. Finally, take Highway 49 to the city of Saltillo and then merge onto Highway 57 leading you south towards San Luis Potosí. From San Luis Potosí, take Highway 80 towards the east until you reach the Gulf Coast. Once you hit the coast, follow the signs towards the Yucatán Peninsula, which is located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico. Be prepared for a long drive, as it will take approximately 30-35 hours of total driving time depending on traffic and road conditions.

• Bus

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from any major city in Baja California Peninsula to Mexico City. The bus ride usually costs between $800-$1500 MXN and takes approximately 24-30 hours. Once you arrive in Mexico City, transfer to a bus heading to Mérida or Cancún, which are the major cities on the Yucatán Peninsula. Bus tickets from Mexico City to Mérida usually cost between $1,000-$1,500 MXN and take around 16-18 hours. From Cancún, you can easily rent a car, take a taxi, or use a shuttle service to reach other destinations within the Yucatán Peninsula.
