Cancún

Cancún is a city in Mexico, on the North-Eastern tip of the Yucatan peninsula.

Hitchhiking out

West towards Valladolid, Mérida

From the crossroad Avenida Lopez Portillo and Avenida Tulum opposite the Crucero park, you can take a colectivo to El Porvenir. Ask to get off at "la caseta" (police checkpoint with speedbump). Zenit was covered 20 pesos in November 2024, but you might get away with 10 if you don't have a ton of gear. You can also take various other colectivos to other random spots along Avenida Lopez Portillo.

Places to avoid

Most likely the hotel zone or Cancún in general if you're not up to crowdy beach vacation at all-inclusive resort hotels.

Accommodation and Sleep

You could definitely sleep in the airport if you're into such kinds of places.

Other useful info

Isla de mujeres Is an 18min boat ride from Cancun. Although it's touristy, it is well worth a visit. There used to be a cheaper ferry only for cars, but they don't take pedestrians anymore, so Ultramar Is the only option. Tourist price is 150pesos one way (it's a black ticket), but if you kindly ask an islander to buy the ticket for you the price would be 42pesos (orange colour ticket), or a Quintana Roo resident (purple colour ticket) it would be 78pesos. Hitchhiking within the island is very easy, make sure to visit the Southern point as well.
