Estado de Tamaulipas Travel Forum

We are a family of 9 wanting to travel cheaply to San Miguel. I have heard about Grupo Estrella Blanca, Expresso Futuro. IS this the bus line to take and how much is a ticket? thanks

Hi, we are going to the Cancun area next week and wonder what is most fun and cheap for two teens 15 and 19 to do. We are staying on isla de las Mujeres in a timeshare and will have to take the ferry to and fro Cancun. Is that expensive? Thanks for any tips. J.

does anyone have any info on visiting this town/site??? i will be in tampico, mexico for a month and i know aquismon, tamul falls and sotano is close to ciudad valles.

i can easily catch a bus to ciudad valles but from there, is there any public transportation to aquismon?? how long? how much?? what about accomodations? i am used to tuk-tuks and collectivos if similar modes of transport are cheap options, and camping or hostel like atmospheres are an option too.

and from aquismon...whats the transport options to sotanos and the tamul falls? again, how much is a reasonable price? i'll have a buddy with me too.

also i can get by with very basic spanish, and i always pass for a local if i don't open my american accented mouth.

thanks in advance.

MY FAMILY MEMBER WILL BE TRAVELING FROM REYNOSA. AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW FAR IS THE BUS STATION FROM THE BRIDGE. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE PRICE OF THE TICKET TO LAREDO MEXICO. IF ANYBODY CAN HELP.....

Due to some warnings on the net I'm a bit scared about Mexican traffic, as I'm planning to go by hired car.
I'm used to (Central)-European traffic circumstances, so do you think I'll get problems? What about the traffic volume in general and the condition of the streets? Is there a high risk of getting involved in accidents? Are the Mexican drivers rather courteous than reckless or vice versa?

PS: I know, I'm asking a lot during the last couple of days, but its due the lack of time caused by special circumstances. normally I plan my trips far more carfefully. So thank you all for your answers!

My husband and I are planning to travel from Cancun to Merida with a rental car in February. Is driving/parking a problem? We have driven from Cancun to Tulum area several times.

Hello everyone,

I will be flying into Merida in mid-December and have one week before I need to arrive in Oaxaca. I'd love any advice on making the trip (by bus) from Merida to Oaxaca. Also, I'm hoping to spend a few days in the Biosfera de Calakmul and would appreciate any advice on getting there and away.

Thanks so much!

Thank you for your help in advance!

Does anyone know if there is a taxi service from the Texas side to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico? I know that the easiest thing is to walk across the bridge, but my sister and I would like to take our mother and it would not be easy for her to walk across.

Hi gang!
I recently visited Tampico. Absolutely loved it. I'm trying to find out about a billiards bar there. I can't remember the name of it though. I have some pictures for the bar owners son, but of course I lost the address to the bar. I know its a long shot, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me. The bar is not far from Tampico maritime port. If anyone knows anything about any billards bars close to that location and can get me names or numbers. I would be soooo grateful. I'm hoping something will trigger my memory...
Thanks,
April
