Getting from Merida Airport to your hotel
Although the “Va y ven” public bus runs from the airport to the city center of Merida, it’s slow, cumbersome and often very crowded. Plus, once you reach the main bus stop, you will have to walk through the winding Merida streets to find your hotel, which is extremely difficult in the hot midday sun or if you have luggage.
Instead, taking a Merida Airport taxi to your hotel is a private, air conditioned and direct way to travel to the very door of your accommodation in the city center. You can relax the entire way, knowing your loved ones and personal belongings are safe.
