  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.

  • You'll be using the Mexican peso (MXN) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider having some cash handy for smaller purchases.

  • The language most often spoken in this country is Spanish.
