Cancun Customs - Tourist Card & Traffic Light Flying to-from Review

On your plane you will receive a "Mexican Tourist Card". Fill it in on the plane because they will expect you to have it complete before you get in the passport control line-up. The customs officials send people to the back of the line if it isn't complete. Note that besides the front of the card, there are two places on the back of the card that need to be signed as well.
Once you get through passport control and pick up your luggage, you'll be expected to push a button on what looks like a traffic light at the customs desk. I've seen some confusion about how people should approach this. You should try to go up to the light as a family or couple (when the agent waves you forward) so you don't have to do it all individually. Basically if you press "Green" they'll let you pass through, if you press "Red", they'll stop you, bring you to the side table, and look through some of your bags (usually not too thoroughly). It's just the luck of the draw.

Cost of Taxis Taxi's Review

Be sure to ask the cab driver before you get into the car how much the fare will be to your destination. Most fares within the city of Cancun (excluding the airport) range from 40 to 60 pesos ($4-6). You should never pay 100 pesos or more for a ride within the city itself! Some drivers may try and take advantage of your situation late at night after the bars close--especially if they think you've had a few too many.
Some drivers may also try to convince men that they'll take them to the strip club outside of town for $50. That's insane... but I guess there's a sucker born every minute.
However, if your driver was courteous and drove safely, you should leave him a tip. 10 pesos is sufficient.
