Arriving in Cancun

Upon arriving in the Cancun airport you will be processed by Immigration. You will them claim your baggage. Next you will clear Customs. After customs, proceed to the Arrival Lobby. If you are scheduled to fly to Casa Blanca or Casa Blanca on your day of arrival, the lodge's  local representative will meet you outside in the Arrival Lobby. The Arrival Lobby will be full of tour operators, arriving passengers and is usually somewhat chaotic. The Casa Blanca or Casa Blanca representative will have a sign printed with "Casa Blanca" and a bonefish. If you do not immediately see him, this means he is transferring other guests to the charter plane and will return shortly. This is a rare occurrence. Do not leave the Arrival Lobby to attempt to find him. He will find you.

The Casa Blanca and Casa Blanca representative will arrange for you and your baggage to be transferred to the General Aviation Terminal by car.The transfer will take less than 5 minutes. You will then board a plane and fly directly to the Casa Blanca airstrip. The flight takes approximately 50 minutes. If more than eight guests arrive in a 2 hour period, the later arriving guests may have a layover of up to two hours in the General Aviation Terminal.

Staying in Cancun

If you plan to spend a night or two in Cancun before you go to Casa Blanca, no Casa Blanca representative will meet you when you arrive. You must arrange your own transportation to your hotel. There are a wide range of transportation options available in the airport. Please be sure to supply us with the name of your hotel at latest, 7 days before you arrive in Cancun. The night before you are scheduled to take the air charter to the lodge, you will be contacted at your hotel by a Casa Blanca representative who will tell you what time to arrive at the General Aviation Terminal to meet your air charter to the lodge. You must take a taxi to the General Aviation Terminal. In Spanish the terminal is referred to as Aviacion General. It is located approximately two blocks north of the International Arrival Terminal.

Surface Transportation to Casa Blanca

Should someone elect not to take the air charter, the alternate surface transportation would be a 4 hour drive to Punta Allen. You would then have a 1 hour ride in an open boat.  The ride from Cancun to Punta Allen is a pleasant drive through the Yucatan.  Although the road from Tulum to Punta Allen does deteriorate from time to time.  Guest planning to drive to the lodge should plan on departing Cancun in the ground transportation no later than 12:00pm (noon).
