Getting Around in San Cristanto MX
Because of the price of gas, locals tend to drive motorcycles and stuff one or two extra passengers on the front or rear depending on the size of the passenger.
As a tourist, you’ll want to have rented a car. We were not able to get a rental but were absolutely relieved when our waiter from La Milpa de Valerio hopped on his bicycle to ask his friend Sharky who owned a moto-taxi if he was available. Sure enough, Sharky came picked us up within a few minutes saving us a sunburn-inducing walk home. sa procure a moto taxi by calling and .
He’s a happy guy and sports some stylish necklaces. His moto-taxi could fit 3-4 adults comfortably though we saw many more locals crammed in to similar size vehicles throughout the trip.
Best yet, he charges a fair price. When he took us from San Cristano to Telchac Puerto, a 7 km drive, it costs us just 80 Mexican pesos or about $4 USD.
In the future, I'll have Sharky's number saved (+99 11-02-40-16) to whatsapp or SMS him when a ride is needed.
