    • By air

      Puerto Escondido International Airport ☎ +52 951 516 4982. You can also fly to Oaxaca and then reach Puerto Escondido with Aerovega's daily flight.

      Flying with Viva Aerobus is the cheapest alternative (from 500 pesos one way), but flights are limited to certain days of the week (normally around the weekend). Aeromar has daily flights, but are much more expensive and use turboprop planes which can be scary in the rain-season due to turbulence.

      Another alternative is flying into Huatulco with Interjet. Be sure to order the ground transportation when making flight reservations which costs only an additional 160 pesos. Taking a taxi to Puerto Escondido (~90 min drive, ~US$50-60 if you negotiate in advance).

      Shared taxis (called colectivos) from the Puerto Escondido airport are cheap - about $35- and reasonably quick. The airport is close to town, but you may have to wait a few minutes as the colectivo driver waits to get a few more passengers, or drops one or two off ahead of you.

    • By bus

      TuriStar and Estrella Blanca from Mexico City are the most comfortable and most expensive way to get here ($500-900, 12 hr), traveling via Acapulco. These buses only leave from the South (Taxqueña) bus terminal. Other first class buses leave from both the North and South terminals, traveling via Puebla and/or Oaxaca City, and taking several hours longer than the buses via Acapulco. The quickest (5-6 hr) service, but least comfortable transport from Oaxaca is by van (called suburban in Spanish). There are several companies ($140). More comfortable but longer are the buses leaving from the 2nd class bus station. Do not take a 1st class bus because the trip is over 15 hr - it takes the longest route. 2nd class buses take around 7-8 hr. There are also many buses from Acapulco.

    • By car

      Driving to Puerto Escondido is only advisable if you have experience with windy, poorly-maintained mountain roads. That said, it is an exhilarating, scenic drive from any direction. The roads that connect Puerto Escondido to Acapulco and Oaxaca are both narrow, twisty 2-lane roads in poor condition, that traverse the sparsely populated Western Sierra Madre. Driving your own car will not save you much time over taking the bus.

    The fixed price for a taxi in town is $20 and $40 for the airport and Bacocho beach. The local bus is $3. Night rates are $30. Be aware some taxis will charge $40 if you do not specify $30 before the ride.

    * Budget Rent-A-Car, charge hefty rental fees for their fleet of subcompact manual transmission cars. They may also have some minivans available.

    * Económica Rent-A-Car, [http://www.economica.com.mx] is a more reasonable option, renting convertible VW Bugs and motorcycles among other vehicles.

    There are lots of great spots to visit if you have a vehicle, such as the nearby lagoon of Chacahua, the nudist beach of Zipolite, beach towns like Puerto Angel and Huatulco, all within 2 hr of Puerto Escondido.

    You may be able to hire a cab driver for the day for about $800.

    Catch some waves on Playa Zicatela - if you don't surf, you should at least make it over to the beach restaurant Los Tios and have a beer on the beach while you watch people surfing in the sunset. Also a good place from which to watch over breakfast when there's a surf competition on.

    Playa Carrizalillo is a good beach for swimming or learning surfing with few restaurants.

    The Andador is the path around the lighthouse. It is a fun walk, and beautiful, but the surf can be dangerous in spots.

    The best and safest beach for swimming is Playa Carizalillo. Take a taxi unless you want a half-hour walk. Carizalillo is small, gorgeous, and not too crowded, 167 steps from street level down to the beach (then back up again). There are some surfers and some boats, but mainly swimmers enjoying the waves.

    Surf You can even take lessons if you're a beginner - try one of the friendly surf instructors on any beach or at one of the surf shops. Female instructors are available for those who may find the roaming hands of some of the male instructors a bit more than just being friendly.

    * Temazcal Try an indigenous type of steam-bath known as a temazcal. Sit in a small building with heats that go up to 120 F⁰ and then either be covered in towels or dunked into cold water.

    * Boat trip One of the most exhilerating experiences for non-surfers is the boat trip into the ocean to catch a glimpse of the wildlife; in particular, the turtles and dolphins. A few tour operators run similar trips out into the Pacific in search of the animals. More often than not, you get a glimpse of the turtles and, if you're lucky enough, the tour guide sometimes jumps in and catches hold of one! Unperturbed, the creatures come onto the boat for some photos and free food courtesy of the tour guide. It's kind of surreal, but incredible. Less often, you will get to see the packs of dolhpins arching over the surface. Again, it is an amazing experience and well worth the money (around $300 on average).

    * Fishing Another good ocean-based activity is the regular fishing trips you can go on. For the keen fisherman, this is a dream activity. The waters host vast amounts of species of fish including tuna, marlin and red snapper. It isn't the cheapest (some operators can charge around $1,000) but you can sometimes get a deal that your catch gets cooked at a local restaurant for your eating pleasure in with the cost.

    * Skydiving During the high seasons you can do a sky dive at the Zicatela beach for M$2600. It's one of the nicest places in the world to do this. They're just left of Café Babylon.
