          Directions To Mahahual

(Please do not drive at night)
From Cancun or the Cancun Airport, take Hwy 307 south towards Tulum and Chetumal. The drive will take 3 to 4 hours, depending on your speed and the number of stops you make along the way. We recommend stopping at one of the larger grocery stores in Playa del Carmen or Tulum on your way. They will have everyting you need, including fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, bakery, liquor, clothing and more. There is also a Sams club in Playa del Carmen. 

Remember you are in Mexico, pack up some cold drinks and food, then relax and enjoy the drive to Mahahual. The towns you will pass along the way are Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, Akumal, and Tulum. A word of caution, watch out for the Topes! (better known as speed bumps) They are known to destroy a cars oil pan and ruin a nice vacation. They are usually found just before and after each town.

Once you pass Tulum, you start to leave the coast and head inland. Hwy 307 goes inland at this point to take you around the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve which is a huge 1.3 million acre preservation park. Stay on 307 towards Felipe Carillo Puerto.
Carillo Puerto is considered the most cosmopolitan Mayan city and is rich with history. This would be a good time to fill up with gas and take a break. There is now a gas station in Mahahual, but it's always a good idea to keep your tank full. There is a gas station on your right, just as you enter Felipe Carillo Puerto. There is a second one in town, but its usually much busier. Upon leaving town, you

may find a military check point where they will ask where you are going. They might even ask to look in your car. Its not a big deal, take your purse and show them inside your car and in 5 mins you will be on your way.

As you continue down Hwy 307 the next small town is called Limones.

Just 3 Km. past Limones you will see the sign that reads Mahahual.  Turn left and head towards the beach. There is another army check point here, but they usually check your car when you leave Mahahual.  Most of the time they will just wave you through. Be courteous and offer them a friendly wave. If they ask your destination, tell them where you are going. Now you will drive straight into the town of Mahahual. If you are heading to El Placer or Rio Indio you will turn left just after the gas station. The turn-off to Rio Indio is up the road at approximately km9. El Placer is a bit further at km23. 

Have Fun and enjoy the adventure!   
Remember the Green Angles emergency roadside help on Hwy 307.
