Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you're traveling by car, start by navigating to the nearest major highway. From Merida, take the Federal Highway 180 southeast towards Campeche. Continue on this highway for approximately 2.5 hours, passing through towns like Hopelchén and Escárcega. As you approach Noha, look for the coordinates 6RCH+FG, which is where Península del Yucatán is located. Make sure to have a GPS or map app handy for accurate directions.
Public Transportation
For public transportation, begin your journey at the main bus terminal in Merida. Look for buses heading to Campeche, which operate frequently throughout the day. The bus ride will take about 2.5 to 3 hours. Once you arrive in Campeche, you can take a local taxi or ride-share service to reach Noha. Provide the driver with the coordinates 6RCH+FG to ensure you arrive at the correct destination.
Taxi or Ride-share
If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi or use a ride-sharing app from any location within Yucatán Peninsula. Provide the driver with the coordinates 6RCH+FG in Noha, Campeche. This option might be more costly but offers convenience and door-to-door service. Expect to pay a higher fare if you're traveling from a distant city, potentially around $50-$100 USD depending on the distance.
