The Riviera Maya is a popular destination, and there are varied transportation options for everyone.

If you found your Caribbean paradise with AGF, and you decide to be a local and live the beach life, then you might choose to have a Bici Playa membership and use the public bikes located around Playa, or buy your own bicycle or scooter.  But, if you have to travel longer distances, then you might decide for a taxi.

Taxis in most of the cities and beach towns in Mexico don’t use the taxi meter, therefore we recommend you to ask for the rate in advance.  Taxi and other equivalents in Mexico, compared to the United States, Canada and Europe, are cheaper and are used regularly by the population.

If you are traveling in a group or prefer to move at your own pace, your best option will be to rent a car.  You can travel by car from Cancun to Playa del Carmen using Highway 307 and continue south to Tulum and find many attractions on the way.

Local buses and vans called “colectivos” travel from Cancun to Playa del Carmen and from Playa del Carmen to Tulum regularly.  These are a good choice for single passengers or groups, looking to travel for the best rate, vans are collective units for up to 10 passengers.  When taking the van, you can get on or hop off at any point on the road.  Board them in Playa del Carmen on the Highway and Calle 2 Sur, below the highway bridge.

Travel by bus from the Riviera Maya to these amazing destinations:
Chichen Itza
Coba
Tulum
Merida
Valladolid
Palenque

Head to ADO Station on Ave. Juarez (Estación Turística) or the one at Ave. 20 (Estación Alterna) to know more about prices and schedule.  Remember to ask for students’ special offers and elders with ID.

AGF is pet friendly. Selvanova is pet friendly.

Dogs are excellent companions and in Playa del Carmen, many are considered family. Family that you choose and that although other times they simply arrive, in the same way they give themselves to you.

AGF Mexico Properties is pet-friendly and Selvanova as well. Therefore, we share tips to pamper the furry ones in the house.

We all need a new style from time to time. In Playa del Carmen it is common to see small trucks equipped with everything necessary to offer baths and canine haircuts at home. Pet Spa Riviera Maya is one of those offering this service.

And as we know that trips are inevitable and often planned, but sometimes it is impossible to take our four-legged friends. Options to leave them well taken care of include hotels with swimming pools, friends’ houses and even house/dog sitters.

Beach to run in the sand and get into the sea with your dog? It may not be the most common option, as in other cities in Mexico and the world.  Actually, dogs are not allowed on the beaches of Quintana Roo. You may come across one, but there is always the risk of being questioned by an authority. The good news is that there are some beach clubs and public beaches that you can visit to swim with your dog in the Caribbean.

Some even offer amenities such as a water bowl and a welcome cookie. In Cancun, it was recently established that Playa Coral, also known as “El Mirador II”, is the first pet friendly beach in Latin America, in a space of 200 square meters of sand.

It is located right next to Ventura Park, at kilometer 25 of the hotel zone and you can visit from 5am to midnight. The beach has palapas, bathrooms, showers, trash cans and parking for your bike or car.

We always remind you to be a responsible owner. Pick up their feces and if they are curious, playful or aggressive, it is better to always keep them on a leash. Do not forget to place a registration plate with name and telephone number and keep their vaccination card up to date.

Have a WOOFderful day!
