Public Transportation
Traveling by public transportation involves several steps. First, take a bus from your location in Southeastern Mexico to a major city like Mérida or Villahermosa. From there, look for a bus service that travels to New Orleans or Lafayette, Louisiana. Once in Louisiana, you can catch a Greyhound or local bus to New Iberia, LA. From New Iberia, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to get to Avery Island, as public transportation options are limited in that area. Be sure to check the schedules in advance, as transportation may not run frequently.
