Excellent video,great information very clear and accurate. It is true that is a very affordable option to go from and to any location over the federal highway, but also gotta keep on mind that cars go on this highway at 120 km/h, about 74 mph...so if you don't tell the driver with anticipation where to stop...will take very far, and this vans don't go back on the road.
@@papawgotagopro Yes. What I used to do is to turn off google maps on the phone, and pin the location where I am going prior to take the van, that way I knew when to tell the driver to stop about a mile or two away from the destination.
Received the giveaway prizes from the other weeks drawing today! Thanks a lot. In the last drawing I was chosen for the foam wind protection cover. Nobody had entered for the video light so I asked if it was available and he threw it in. Both arrived safely and I really appreciate it. I’ve always wondered if these giveaways were legit. I can now say they are and I have the proof. Thank you again!
Thank you Al. The jerk, SoliSorac, deleted his comment accusing me of scamming viewers. But it was saved in my email notification. Here’s what the jerk wrote: What a shame pawpaw i truly was a fan until you lied to your subscribers about a giveaway. If you never intended to fulfill your word you should have never even started something you knew you were never going to accomplish. And the fact that you deleted the giveaway video says that from the beginning you intended to fulfill your word. Truly disappointing.
Papaw Got A GoPro Going great thanks! Took a colectivo from the Bahia Principe to Playa Del Carmen and back. It was a perfect ride going but more crowded coming back. The driver dropped us off in front of the Sian Ka’an arch and we played human Frogger crossing the highway. That was a bit stressful but not as difficult as it may have been. Thanks so much for the tips! They worked great!
Hey Shila! No, not too late at all. Send me an email to papawgotagopro@gmail.com with your address. It’ll be a few days before I can ship - I tested positive for the Covid yesterday so I’m staying in.
Great info we do take the Colectivo in Mexico regularly ... question...what resorts have you been to with a "day pass" we will be staying for the winter in Playa Del Carmen and want to do "day Pass" at as many of the all inclusive resorts as we can...Viv
Actually this day was the only day pass I’ve ever done. In the future I might do others, I’ll just have to weigh the cost against whether or not the video income is worth the cost and the day away from my chosen resort and activities. I’m at the Bahia Luxury Akumal right now. Tomorrow me & the son in law are taking a colectivo to the Chedraui shopping center in Puerto Aventuras. I’m gonna record another colectivo video!
@@papawgotagopro We have stayed at the Sian Kaan its one of our favorite resorts...these days we try to stay for a few months at a time and rent a condo.,..hope to head down in a week or two can't wait...will look for your next video!!...enjoy your time in paradise...Viv
Hello, Love your videos!!! We plan on taking a trip to Barcelo riviera or Bahia luxury akumal Which do u think has better beach and food? And we were wanting to go to 5 th ave in the collectivo and I know it will drop u off at hwy and we’ll have to walk a bit , but do u know where we should get out for 5 th ave I know to tell the driver but I’d like to know too in case he forgets lol Thanks a lot😍
So no kids going? I've not been to Barcelo Riviera because the price looks to me to be too high. Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an adults only is our favorite resort of all (we've been here 8 times and to over 20 others). Never mind it isnt "on the beach" because that does not matter. I posted a brand new video of it last week. We were at Luxury Akumal a few weeks ago because our 8 year old grandson was with us. I have to say, I was disappointed. The 3 other sections were much better managed.
If you’re staying at Coba, Tulum or Akumal and you want to take the Colectivo towards Tulum, ride the trolley across the bridge to Sian Kaan. Tell the driver to let you off to walk to the highway. There’s a driveway alongside the bridge to the highway. Another great thing about Bahia Principe, you can take the Colectivo and never have to play Human Frogger. Jeff (Papaw)
Hey there! I'm making an informative vlog about traveling around yhr Yucatan Peninsula and I need some footage of buses and bus stations. Can I use the footage from your video in my? just a few shots
We’ve never needed more bottled water than the room attendant leaves us. Maybe once we had to ask for more. But if that isn’t sufficient for you, you can take the Colectivo to the Chedraui in Puerto Aventuras
When you get on, tell the driver where you want to go and he always seem to remember. Ask him how much and have the pesos ready to hand to the driver when you get off, and say 'gracias'. There are less colectivos at night and they stop running at 11 PM.

Yes, that’s why it’s vital to know where you’re going and to watch the signs.

What an amazing and informative video!! Thank you so much. You gave crucial details that other videos do not privide.

@@papawgotagopro the only jerk here is the jerk. You’re a man of your word sir.
@@patzke Yup, got mine too. It took some time to reach me but it did get here and I am enjoying it.
This is perfect timing! On the day of publishing, I’m travelling to the Bahia Principe! Thank you!
How is your trip going?

Thanks for the insight sir. Happy 4th!
You’re very welcome!
You can pick up colectivos at Juarez and also another l option near the bus they go to Talum Chiquila Can up and elsewhere

Really helpful video! I was wondering how frequent they are? Sorry if you've already mentioned it in the video!
They are usually spaced no more than 3-5 minutes apart. Usually about half will be full so will not stop.
What bus can I take from costa maya to villahermosa? Would love to tour beautiful mexico

How do we get across to the other side of the highway to go down to Tulum if at Bahia Principe ? Do they have a bridge ?
If you’re staying at Coba, Tulum or Akumal and you want to take the Colectivo towards Tulum, ride the trolley across the bridge to Sian Kaan. Tell the driver to let you off to walk to the highway.

Sure, no problem.
@@papawgotagopro thanks! I'll credit you in the video :)
Any stores near Bahia principe or do they have a store onsite to get a case of water ?
We’ve never needed more bottled water than the room attendant leaves us. Maybe once we had to ask for more. But if that isn’t sufficient for you, you can take the Colectivo to the Chedraui in Puerto Aventuras
HEY! thanks for the video! i was wondering how much a colectivo cost! :)
He said it's about 45 or 50 pesos, which is around 2 US dollars.
@@fasting50plus thanks buddy. I’ve been there and done few colectivos . Very cheap. An experience 😂👍🏻
What to say when you are getting off?
Call out your stop, if you see the driver isn’t slowing.
When you get on, tell the driver where you want to go and he always seem to remember. Ask him how much and have the pesos ready to hand to the driver when you get off, and say 'gracias'. There are less colectivos at night and they stop running at 11 PM.
i don’t speak Spanish?? Will the colectivo driver understand me? My Spanish vocabulary is very limited🤦🏻♂️
All you really need to tell the driver is the name of the place you are going to.
From Barcelo to Puerto Juarez is there a colectivo ?
