Travel: Getting to San Miguel de Allende
|
|
When you travel to San Miguel de Allende, you have three options for airports:
Queretaro (QRO)
Continental Airlines begins service to Queretero from Houston on March 18th, 2005. The flight is just over two hours and travel time from Queretero to San Miguel de Allende by taxi or shuttle service is only 40 minutes.
Leon, Guanajuato (BJX)
Here's a wonderful airport that's modern, clean and easy to navigate. Customs and immigration areas are a breeze, and the restaurant is good, too. American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Mexicana Airlines, and Aeromexico service Leon. Let us know if we can arrange shuttle service for you to San Miguel de Allende, a pleasant 1-1/2 hour drive through the mountains.
Mexico City (MEX)
Numerous airlines service Mexico City, and shuttle service is available. The drive is about three hours, but traffic leaving the capital can be difficult.
Rental Cars
We do not recommend renting a car to travel to San Miguel, as cars are practically useless here. Trying to navigate cobblestone streets designed for horses and donkeys is not our idea of an enjoyable vacation.
Shuttle Service
The fastest, easiest way to reach San Miguel from airports is via shuttle provided by a local San Miguel de Allende travel agency. You will be greeted at the customs exit area by your driver with a sign with your name on it. They will assist with luggage and deliver you right to the door of your accommodations in San Miguel. The fare from Leon, Guanajuato (BJX) is $27 per person and from Mexico City (MEX), $50 per person. If you are traveling with a group of people (4 or more) private transportation is available. You will be provided with a return transportation schedule. Vans depart every couple of hours. Reserve airport shuttle here.
Buses
Mexico City (MEX)
AeroPlus departs directly from the airport (Concourse E2) approximately every hour to Queretaro. Tickets are sold at the gate for approximately $22. There you will need to take another bus or cab to travel to San Miguel de Allende.
