PLAYA DEL CARMEN TAXIS

Taxis are easy to come by.  They are usually small Nissan or Toyota type vehicles, somewhat comfortable for 3 people, really squished for 4.  Drivers will rarely speak English, but with a few words like cuanto (how much) and the name of your destination you usually will not have a problem.  Taxis are the usual way for tourists to get around, except when doing tours, which normally offer transportation as part of the tour package.
