I will be arriving at 4PM...Is it possible at that time of day to make the trip to SMA.....How would you suggest---flying, a bus, shared ride from Mexico City Airport?

Or do I just wait until the AM and take a bus? Which station/company do people suggest?

Just use the search engine and you'll find all the info you need. You'll make it easily the same day.

Depends as always.

I would take a PrimeraPlus bus directly from either terminal (T1 or T2) at MEX to Queretaro, and then a taxi directly from the Qro bus station to your lodging in SMdA.

I have done that many times - last on 18 April '08.

The PP first class bus was $249, pesos/$125, with an INAPAM card, and the taxi was $396, pesos.

Makes more sense if there are two or three.

The many shuttle services are less expensive for one person, but you might spend an hour riding around SanMiguel if the shuttle is full.

Tons of recommendations at the search box.

Mike

I doubt if visitors from overseas are going to have the INAPAM card!

Just booked an ETN trip from SMA to Mexico Norte and fares have gone up!

My LP gas guys warned me last week that all energy related pricing was taking a serious jump on 1 August.

I have not confirmed, but filled all my tanks this past week.

Food prices have climbed quite a bit, especially with the devalued USD.

Oh well, still beats paying $19,000. annually in Dallas residential property taxes.
