Need help on how to get to Crococun Zoo from Cancun. Which bus ?? And can I catch a bus back...or do I have to take a taxi?? Also how long does it take to get there from the bus station in downtown Cancun?? Thanks!!
Take the bus from the bus station downtown that's heading for Puerto Morelos / Playa del Carmen. Crococun is about 15 minutes past the airport and a few miles before the Puerto Morelos turn off so about 30 minutes drive. Crococun is situated directly on the main Highway 307 on the same side of the road on the way there. To get back you'd need to cross the road and find a bus stop on the other side, or just try and flag one down.
Steve: Coming from Cancun, you have to cross the road to get to the park itself. However, when you are returning(to Cancun), you are on the correct side of the road as you exit the park. Ive never managed to get the ADO buses to stop when returning, and have had to wait for the smaller "Playa Express" vans/minubuses.
Yes, you're correct. Sometimes, I still think if it's on your left you're on the same side of the road. Old habits die hard.
Thanks....Steve & rawkus. I'll figure out what side of the street it's on when I get there....lol. Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
So is the "playa express" buses like a colectivo?? And it will return to near the Cancun bus station downtown??
Steve: I adjusted to left-side traffic when I moved to OZ, then back to right-side when coming to Mexico, although sometimes there doesnt seem to be "any-side" considering how many people drive around here, hehe Tbonita: Yes, its like a colectivo. It departs next to the tiny Oxxo, across the street/parking at the ADO main-entrance. Cant remember if it stops at the ADO station in Cancun when you return... Its been a while since I took it, but Im pretty sure it does. Just ask the driver and you will be fine.
Playa Express uses Mercedes 15-16 passnger busses...in the US, they are the same as the Dodge/Chrysler Sprinter type vans....great ride, better than a Ford Econoline with bench seating! They leave from across the street to the north of the ADO Cancun station...:wave:
