Palenque Leaving Palenque for Tulum
Posted: Thu June 9, 2005 12:58 PM UTC
Does anyone know which is the best bus to take from Palenque to Tulum? They say its not a good idea to travel in Chiapas at night cos of high road robberies, so was thinking like an after-noon bus so as to travel by day in Chiapas and by the time night falls be in Yucatan? Any suggestions? Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks to everyone..

Oh also, does anyone know the price of this trip?

I'd say the best would be ADO (1. class). I took the bus from Cancun to Palenque. It cost 418 pesos and some 12 hours and I think we passed Tulum on our way (it was night ride and I was sleeping so I'm not sure). So I guess from Plaenque would take you to Tulum some 10-11 hours for less than 400 pesos.
Don't worry about traveling at night. We had quite few night rides in Mexico. Also on routes that are notorious. Nothing ever happened. I think you'll really have only bad luck if anything happens to you.

I agree about night buses. The biggest danger is not getting to sleep. Take some Benadryl or a generic variety and you should be able to sleep on a bus.
