Most visitors fly to Mexico arriving at one of the numerous international
airports throughout the country, although there are a small number
of travelers who arrive from the US & Central America who cross
the Mexican borders by road on buses and in private cars.
Visitors from across the Atlantic can fly to Mexico City or Cancun;
those coming from North America can choose among the 30 cities that
receive direct flights from the US and Canada. There are also good
connections from South American and Caribbean countries …
Considering that the majority of domestic air connections go through
Mexico City, traveling by bus can be a cheap, quick and practical
means of traveling in Mexico.
There are extensive bus routes connecting cities and villages all
over Mexico and the services are cheap, frequent and surprisingly
punctual ...
If you intend to drive in Mexico you should remember that it is
a legal requirement to carry all your documents with you: passport,
driving licence and all car documentation, whether you are driving
your own car or a rented one. If you have a rented car then the
rental car company will provide you all the required documents,
including car insurance …
Mexico’s railways have been privatised and the passenger
rail service is very poor and not recommended for getting around
Mexico. A few exceptions are the special routes created specifically
for tourists, such as the famous Copper Canyon railway, the Tequila
Express, and the Expreso Maya.
