This Easter holiday period can be the perfect time to enjoy a family trip through Yucatán and explore some transportation options that will enhance your travel experience.
Getting around Yucatán’s roads isn’t complicated, as there’s a wide range of options that make it easier to travel to the areas you want to visit with your family.
If you’re coming from another state and flew to Yucatán, a great option is to rent a car to more easily explore some of the points of interest within the state.
Rental costs vary depending on the agency, but they generally range from 300 to 500 pesos per day.
There are also bus services like ADO. You can catch your ticket at the main terminal or go to one of the nearby terminals to reach different towns or ports along the Yucatán coast.
For beaches, Puerto Progreso is the most popular, so you can go to the bus terminal located on Calle 62 between Calles 65 and 67 in downtown Mérida for a small fee.
Other options for getting around Yucatán include:
Maya Train
Tours
Van Rentals
Va y Ven (a bus service)
Yucatán has many destinations that are ideal for families, such as Mérida, where you can enjoy Paseo de Montejo, the museums in the Historic Center, and the Plaza Grande.
Another highlight for families during this Holy Week period is Chichén Itzá or Dzibilchaltún, which is closer to the Yucatecan capital.
Of course, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the beaches, such as Sisal, Celestún, or Puerto Progreso.
Finally, destinations like Valladolid and Izamal are ideal for experiencing Yucatecan culture and cuisine.
To make the most of your family trip to Yucatán, here are some recommendations to keep in mind:
Bring biodegradable sunscreen, insect repellent, and cash.
Book tours in advance, as some areas are in high demand.
Holy Saturday is generally the busiest day for tourists in the state.
Visit the markets to enjoy the local cuisine.
Stay hydrated, as this Holy Week period is usually very hot in Yucatán.
