Entry & visas
- Many nationalities enter visa-free for tourism; a valid US, Canada, UK, Schengen or Japan visa also grants entry for many others.

- Confirm requirements at gob.mx/inm.
Getting around
- Domestic flights (Aeroméxico, Volaris, VivaAerobús) connect the three host cities cheaply.
- Comfortable long-distance buses (ETN, Primera Plus) are a solid alternative.
- In cities, use official taxis or Uber/Didi.
Good to know
