Mexico, getting there and around

Majority of visitors to Mexico arrive by air. There are roughly around 30 cities in Mexico that receive direct flights from North America and Canada , via two main Mexican airlines, Aeromexico and Mexicana. There are also comparatively cheap flights to the rest of Latin America and the Carribean. Visitors coming in from Europe can land in Mexico City and Cancun .

There are also 40 official crossing points for travelers who wish to enter Mexico by road from the USA . There are also 10 crossings between Guatemala and Mexico , with a fairly numerous amount of bus services crossing between border points and Guatemalan towns. There are also bus trips that run between Belize City and Chetumal, and trains pass through San Diego to Tijuana , El Paso to Ciudad Juarez and Del Rio to Ciudad Acuna.

Getting Around

Buses are the most common method for commuting to and from place to place, but traveling by air is still good value for your money. There are small-time airlines that run domestic routes all around Mexico , but their scheduling can sometimes be taxing.

Buses on the other hand, at least long distance ones, are fairly comfortable, air-conditioned, and quite fast. Be wary though of highway robbery, which is quite common in Mexico especially during evening trips in isolated roads and highways.
