Motorscooters can be had for as little as 14,000 pesos, new. I wouldn't consider it particularly dangerous to ride a motorscooter here, though you'd have to be the vigilent one to avoid a mishap. Expect to get cut off, or pushed out of your line of travel, frequently, whether or not the other driver sees you in the path he plans to take.
Thanks for the tips! I will check how is traffic once I get there. A scooter could definitively be a suitable option as Isla Blanca is not that far. Hopefully there is not much traffic on the way neither
One of my friends got a moto for about $10,000, right friend? Some ran over her but she survived just fine and the moto was repaired. You can get the collectivos at the Crucero (the corner of Tulum and Lopez Portillo, for $6.5 pesos last time I checked. Isla Blanca is a bit complicated. When you go to the Excellence Playa Mujeres, we used to call this Isla Blanca although that is not technically correct. You go past the golf course, take the paved road to the very end, and there is a gravel road off to your left. Down this road about 4 km and you are at Isla Blanca proper. It's about another 2 km till you can go no farther and have to reverse your route to leave. I have not been out there in several months but for years there has been the makings of a new road, which I am told is developer financed. The base is down but it is fenced and has rocks along it so it is/was useless for now. Good luck
right friend, it was somewhere around 10,900... totally worth it! I pay $40 pesos gas every WEEK. i love my bumblebee hehe
Will have a look for a used one when I get there Thanks for the tips and help guys! Highly appreciated! Carlos
Found the collectivos that take me there. Its 25 pesos one way. You can catch them near "Crucero" in front of the farmacy Canto. Its a 40 minutes drive and there 4 buses a day: 7, 10, 1pm and 4pm. Scooter - I cannot purchase one as I am on a Tourist VISA. Renting is quite expensive for 3 months. If anyone is coming to Kitesurf, Isla is great for that!
