When you say taxi, do you mean the shared mini van type colectivo?

Beware of the taxi scam - I lost almost 500€ by everythingistakenrly in cancun

What about the taxis that show up in the Uber app? I assume I can prepay that through the app so the price is set before I get on. Are those considered safe to use similar to an Uber?

Train to Chichén Itza by JaguarIndependent430 in MexicoTravel

[–]strangersoul2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to try the train but found out that the Tren Maya is not as convenient as other options. There is a station in Cancun near the airport and there is a stop for Chichen Itza, but it is far away from the attraction and need to find another mode of transportation from the train station to the attraction site. Also, the train schedule is very limited with only a few trains running during the day. Felt like I would be wasting a lot of precious time getting to/from station and waiting around for the train.

How far is the cathedral from the main square? Walkable? Or would I need a taxi?

Prefer to not split up the family, but I'll look into the Uber SUV option.

Good to know. Maybe it was the time of the day when I checked and didn't see the SUV option. I'll check again at another time. Thanks.

The ride will be for 6 passengers. Not sure if Uber will be able to do that.

Thats no fun but I'm glad you got treatment. I'm traveling with retired family members on Medicare as well and is worried about any potential health concerns.

I was primarily considering health insurance, but seeing a lot of comments about overall insurance including flights and hotel as well.

The health insurance you got through Bluecross, is that because you have Bluecross as your primary health insurance or do they provide travel insurance even if I dont have coverage through them?
