Taxis: Taxis also run up and down Carretera 307 (Federal Highway 307) between Tulum and Playa del Carmen looking for passengers.

By la Cancha (the basketball court), you can find a row of available taxies as well.

Out of town buses: From Carretera 307 (Federal Highway 307), you can catch one of the second class buses that run to either the Playa del Carmen or Tulum bus stations. A trip to Playa del Carmen will cost about $12 pesos (U.S.$1.20), while a trip to Tulum is about $10 pesos (U.S.$1).
