The Previous Route From Cancun – Belize
The route previously offered an overnight bus if you just wanted to get straight to your destination and catch up on some sleep, then this one left Cancun around 10:15 pm and arrived in Belize around 6:30 the next morning.
If you wanted to sight-see on the go, there was a day trip option. The bus left the Cancun terminal around 7:30 am and arrived at the Belize bus station around 3:30 pm – however, these times are all subject to change, but this is what could be returning.
Naturally, you could also complete the same journeys on its return.
Despite prices fluctuating, prices were roughly around $40 USD for a one-way trip, or MXN 870, with tickets being available online, on the app, or at the station.
The original route went from Cancun via the airport, through Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, Bacalar, and Chetumal, before crossing the border into Corozal, Orange Walk, and eventually into Belize City.
Fingers crossed there will be stop-off points on this upcoming route where you can see even more of the beautiful countries of Mexico and Belize.
If the destinations on the route are to return, it’s said that you can’t use the same ticket if you are getting off and on the bus, you would have to buy your ticket from where you get back on the bus again, however, do check this before you travel.
Who Are ADO?
ADO is one of the largest Mexican bus companies, running first-class and executive-class buses as well, and they generally serve roughly the eastern half of the country, serving most towns and cities in various regions.
The company is known for its comfy buses, fantastic service, and affordable prices, not to mention they have a constant stream of buses going all around the Eastern part of Mexico, and all generally operate very punctually.
The buses also provide tv screens, an onboard restroom, comfortable seating, with modern design and air conditioning – so it’s recommended to wear something warm on the buses as they can get quite chilly!
They have made sure to place some health and safety measures to ensure traveler’s safety by installing hand sanitizers in all its buses and station – plus their buses are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each trip.
Currently, the only route from Cancun to Belize City is a very long one. You have to get a bus to Chetumal, and then cross the border to Corozal in Belize, to then get the bus to Belize City.
Travel is back, better than ever, and this news is extremely inspiring for travelers. So get packing your bags and get ready to explore Cancun, Belize, and all this route has to offer.
