Insider Tip: You may think it is cheaper to just do your own thing and take the buses, taxis and water taxis on your own… but trust us when we tell you that is not any cheaper, and WAY more of a hassle. You also need to be sure to have all of your paperwork printed at the border. They do not accept confirmations displayed on the screen of your phones or laptops. They can be very picky and our guides do their best to ensure you have a smooth border crossing, but they can only do so much if you show up to the border unprepared.
