Vacationing in Mexico provides the perfect opportunity to see other countries. While some travelers chose to lodge overnight, many take advantage of daytime bus tours and guided ocean-going sightseeing tours. For Mexican travelers, two of the most popular destinations to visit using Mexico’s efficient transport systems are Belize and Guatemala.
Short-term and extended lodging in Mexico’s Chetumal area provides the region's visitors with hotel and transportation options designed to easily facilitate commutes between borders. Daily shuttles transport day-excursion passengers to Guatemala from early in the morning until late at night. Although these bus rides can be long, averaging anywhere between seven to nine hours for first-class passengers, they are well worth the extended voyage; especially for those interested in getting up close and personal with ancient Mayan history. The town of Flores welcomes daily bus passengers and those interested in overnight accommodations with a host of low-cost, but clean, hotels and restaurants.
If interested in going to Belize, this journey will entail a quick bus ride; depending on the bus’ service class selected. First-class passengers can expect to reach the country in one to three hours while second-class passengers should get there in six to seven hours. Regardless of service class chosen, all fares are very inexpensive with round trip rides costing under $15 per person. Destinations will vary depending on time of day and bus chosen but can include stops in Corozal, Belize City and Orangewalk. Since travel times are lower, buses from Mexico to Belize are more frequent. They depart as early as pre-dawn hours and can return as late as early evening times.
Regardless of country desired, in addition to bus fares, other fees required to visit these countries’ destinations can include: border crossing fees, shuttle bus fees from bus terminal to day excursion locations, and historic site admission fees. Take advantage of all Mexico has to offer which includes a user-friendly, multi-country bus system. With bus fares and related fees so low, it is like visiting three counties for the cost of one, and don't forget Mexico auto insurance if you decide to drive.
