What To Expect in Mexico

Driving in Mexico
Remember in Mexico, it's right-hand driving. Also, pay attention to speed limits which generally are 40-60 km/h in cities, 90-110 km/h on highways. You'll find road signs in Spanish, brush up your basic Spanish or keep a translation app handy.
Fuelling Up
Full-service petrol stations are generously scattered near the airport as well as along the highways. Fuel prices are regulated by the government and are consistent across any Gas stations, you'll find.
Weather and Packing Guide
Tabasco's climate can vary with high humidity and rainfall. Pack cool, loose clothing and don't forget your waterproofs. Unlike the cloudy skies back home, expect plenty of sunshine and occasional showers.

The local currency is the Mexican Peso. It might be worth getting some cash out at the airport in case of emergencies, but credit cards are widely accepted.
