Getting to Puerto Morelos, Cancun’s Little Sister
Post by Kelly McLaughlin September 19, 2024.
Getting to Puerto Morelos from Cancun on the 307 highway you will find
yourself at a crossroads under a bridge painted with spectacular murals ofthe underwater world. Choose east for
the beach, luxe resorts and reef, west for the lush jungle and hidden cenotes. Vamonos.
Why go to Puerto Morelos? World-class snorkeling, fishing and scuba diving to the left or ATVs,
ziplines and cave exploration to the right. Stuck in the middle of adventure, I say give everything a try.
It’s time to travel to Puerto Morelos and explore Cancun’s quiet little sister to the south and
one of my favorite destinations in the Mexican Caribbean.
How to Get to Puerto Morelos: Just the Transportation Facts
How do I travel to Puerto Morelos? Fly into the Cancun Airport and take
private ground transportation along the 307 highway.
Puerto Morelos is located 52 kms/32 miles south of the Cancun airport, halfway
between the hotel zone of Cancun and the town of Playa del Carmen.
The trip from the Cancun Airport to your Puerto Morelos resort should take
approximately 20 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the exact location of your accommodations and
traffic, of course.
Is there a bus to Puerto Morelos from the Cancun Airport? There used to be,
but the ADO buses do NOT stop in Puerto Morelos anymore.
Can I get a taxi to Puerto Morelos? Not in the traditional sense, you cannot
walk out of the airport and simply hail a taxi.You can reserve private taxi services with transfers from
licensed, accredited and legal transportation companies in Cancun.
Cancun Airport Tip Alert: Avoid pirate taxis and scams at the Cancun
Airport, it is absolutely best to have your transportation booking in hand when you land. Unlicensed taxis
and unscrupulous operators can be avoided with a simple “No, gracias” and just keep on walking until you
find your greeter.

Why do I love Puerto Morelos? Even Cancunenses need an escape
Living and working in Cancun for the past 20 years, I’ve learned a thing or two about the
Mexican Caribbean. When I need an escape from Cancun (yes, I know how that sounds), I always look to Puerto
Morelos first. It still has that small fishing village charm even as new resorts pop up in the surrounding
areas. It’s not as rustic as it was 20 years ago but I have my secret places that are still off the beaten
track.
Roll out of bed and touch your toes in the sand. Grab your mask and have a little snorkel
before breakfast. Eat chilaquiles. Swing in a hammock. Have a little nap, why not? Swim, float, sunbathe,repeat.
Some cold bevvies are always a welcome part of a vacation day.
