Airport Transfers For the most efficient transfer to your hotel, consider using shared vans, which you can pre-book at www.bookaway.com to ensure fair pricing. Prices usually range from 10-20 USD, depending on your destination. Alternatively, look for transfer service kiosks at the airport exits for official pricing and secure payment options. Avoid paying directly to drivers and tipping. Although we can arrange private transfers with drivers holding signs, we advise against it due to higher costs without added benefits.

Insurance

Having travel insurance is essential to protect yourself against unforeseen events while on the trip. We require all passengers to have comprehensive medical travel insurance. We accept any travel insurance provider as long as we have the necessary policy details, including the policy number and the company’s 24-hour emergency contact number. It should cover medical expenses, emergency repatriation, personal liability, and trip cancellation or curtailment. While other inclusions like loss of baggage or flight coverage are optional, it’s best to consider them.

Flights

Booking your flights independently using popular search engines like Skyscanner or Google Flights is recommended. For internal flights in Mexico, consider airlines like Aeromexico for reliability and comfort, or Volaris for more affordable options, but be aware of possible delays. Additionally, ADO is a reputable bus company for comfortable travel within the country. Given the nature of adventure travel, it’s best to have flexible flight options or travel insurance to cover unforeseen changes or cancellations.
