Liikkuminen
We highly recommend hiring a car
Although a car is highly recommended, you can do just as much exploring using public transport.
It’s about a 15-20min walk to the main road, and I must admit it is quite a nice walk. From the entrance, along the main road, you can flag down a bus (looks like a taxi mini-bus).
Another option is to walk to Akumal and from there you can wait at the bus stop or hire a taxi. It’s about a 5km or an hour walk.
