Recommendation
If time is of the essence, I recommend flying from Bacalar to Querétaro due to the significant time savings despite a higher cost. However, if you wish to enjoy the scenic views of Mexico and prefer a budget-friendly option, traveling by bus is a great choice, although it requires more time. Both methods have their perks depending on your travel preferences.
