How to get to Playa del Carmen from Puerto Morelos
Despite being a tourist spot, Puerto Moleros as such is still a “limited” place: There are still not many options to go from here to other places like Playa del Carmen.
But the fact that there are not many options does not mean that it is not possible. So now we will know the 4 ways to get to Playa del Carmen (or Cancun) from Puerto Morelos: Playa Express, ADO bus, Taxi or rented car (Own).
Playa Express
Playa Express does not have a base as such in Puerto Morelos, but as it is located within its trajectory it usually makes stops to pick up and drop off passengers. So this is an option to get to Playa del Carmen at a cost of 55.00 MXN per person.
Bus
As such there is no ADO station, but be careful: We say as such. Because there is a very small one that receives “momentarily” the ADO buses and other transfer lines. So this is again a very good alternative to get to Playa del Carmen.
