Travel Tips
- •**Currency & Tipping:** The local currency is Mexican Pesos (MXN). While credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, carrying small denominations of pesos for smaller vendors, tips, and local transport is recommended. Tipping is customary for service staff (10-15% in restaurants).
- •**Transportation:** For inter-city travel (Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum), ADO buses are comfortable and reliable. For shorter distances, 'collectivos' (shared vans) are a budget-friendly option. Taxis can be convenient but confirm the fare before starting your journey.
- •**Hydration & Sun Protection:** March in the Yucatán is hot and sunny. Drink plenty of bottled water – tap water is not safe to drink. Always use high SPF, reef-safe sunscreen, wear a hat, and sunglasses. Seek shade during peak sun hours (11 AM - 3 PM).
- •**Language:** While English is widely spoken in tourist zones, learning a few basic Spanish phrases (e.g., 'Hola', 'Gracias', 'Por favor', 'Cuánto cuesta?') will enhance your experience and is always appreciated by locals.
- •**Reef-Safe Sunscreen & Bug Repellent:** When visiting cenotes, reefs, or natural parks, only use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen to protect the delicate ecosystems. Strong bug repellent is also highly recommended, especially for jungle excursions and evenings.
