Picky Nomad Travel Vlog 2022 - Travel Guide to Playa Del Carmen Mexico
How To Get Around Playa Del Carmen Mexico --The Top 4 Best Ways to Get Around the City . . . For Tourists, Digital Nomad, and Expats
In this video I show you the BEST ways to get around the city, no matter what your budget. Beat the heat and zip from one side to the other with these tips. THERE IS NO UBER or LYFT in Playa del Carmen, so you will need this info to be safe and efficient. There are different methods of transportation each with their zones and their own pros and cons. Don't mind the heat and sun? You got a few good options. On a tight budget? You can get all the way to the mall easily using tip #3. Need a/c? Only tip #1 will do, and it's NOT HAILING A TAXI ON THE STREET!
Have you heard of the ADO bus? It's great, but IT'S NOT FOR GETTING AROUND PLAYA DEL CARMEN. It's for getting from PLAYA DEL CARMEN to other cities like CANCUN and TULUM.
PUBLIC TRANSIT is tricky and only reaches certain zones. You can't walk everywhere safely at all time (and you will die of heat stroke). But there are busses and colectivos, check it out!
Motorcyles or bicycles or scooters? Check the video.
I spent THREE MONTHS here figuring all of this out by a combination of trial and error, talking to as many locals and expats as I could, and mining the Expat Facebook groups (some were awesome, thank you FRIENDLY EXPATS, some more like farcical fiefdoms). You get it all here, distilled and ready for use. For free. Please don't forget to subscribe to get more tips on Playa del Carmen, other parts of Mexico and Europe and more. Or just be an armchair traveler and see the world with me :)
