If you’ve got a layover in Lazard Cardenas, don’t let it go to waste sitting at LZC. The city, in Mexico, is within easy reach — roughly 60 minutes by Taxi. Whether you have four hours or twelve, here’s how to make your stopover count.
Essential Info Before You Head Out
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at LZC:
First, verify that you can enter Mexico — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the Taxi takes about 60 minutes into Lazard Cardenas, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — MXN is the currency here. A travel-friendly debit card with no foreign transaction fees will save you money here.

For a layover, the Taxi is usually the way to go. It’s predictable, which matters when you have a flight to catch. Taxis can be faster in ideal conditions but slower when traffic builds up.
