If we dock in Calica, how far is Cancun?

Question

We are taking a cruise in July. I think that it is near Cancun. How far is Cancun from Callica? Any other info you want to give would be great as well.

Answer 1

The earlier answer is right on.  You can drive from Calica to Cancun in under an hour.

The only thing is that the 341 km number (like US mile markers, just in kilometers) is at the airport.  The Hotel Zone starts after the airport and is like 29 km long.  

At the airport area, coming from the south, you can choose to go to the Hotel Zone, to downtown or to the airport, so it all depends on where you want to go in Cancun.

One option, if you are not driving is to to to Terminal 2 at the airport by taxi.  At the left end of the terminal building you can catch the ADO bus, red and silver and big, and for $3.50 US or $35 Mxn you can go to the bus terminal in downtown Cancun, which is pretty much in the middle of where you want to be downtown if you are a tourist.  

Taxis from Calica to Cancun would be the best means of travel but are not cheap.  You can negotiate though.  You can even hire a taxi by the hour and he will be your guide.

A safety tip though.  NEVER get in a taxi if there is another passenger already in the cab.  There have been several recent robberies reported.  No one injured, just robbed.  Even Mexicans have been victims, including the brother of a friend of mine.  I live in Cancun.

Good luck; have fun; make good decisions.
