Directions from outside of Mexico

If you are travelling from outside of Mexico (for most people this is from the US) the best way is to make your way to Mexico City. There are many airlines that fly to Mexico City from the US (US Airways, Delta, United Airlines,etc) most of which if you book far enough in advance are quite cost effective

Then from Mexico City fly to Puerto Escondido. The main airlines that service this route are Vivaaerobus and Aeromar

The cheapest is usually Viva-aerobus where you can pick up a flights from $40 USD if you book 2 to 3 months in advance. They are however a little sneaky by limiting the weight allowed for checked baggage to 15 kgs and they make an extra charge for paying by card, which is the only way you can pay!

An alternative is to fly to Huatulco then take the approx. 2 hr bus ride from Huatulco to Puerto Escondido. Interjet Huatulco from Mexico City and offer more generous luggage allowance than the other airlines.

If you want to take the bus it is about a 12 to 17 hour bus ride from Mexico City the last 6-8 hours of which is very, very, windy roads. ADO charge about 800 pesos, and ETN Turistar charge around 1,000 pesos, but their buses are more luxurious and the trip is shorter.


Transfer from Airport - There are some choices. You can take an airport approved (approved to charge 2 or 3 times the usual price) dedicated white taxi at a cost of around 150 pesos. Or, you can take an airport approved shared taxi for about 70 pesos.

Alternatively you can walk to the highway (approximately 700 metres from airport exit), cross the road and get a green and white taxi at a cost of 40 - 50 pesos. Or, from the highway wave down a maroon & white shared taxi or a collectivo (pick up truck with canopy over the back and bench seats inside). Both of these cost 6 pesos.
