2. BOOK YOUR
FLIGHT
Most visitors to Zipolite arrive by air to either Puerto Escondido (PXM) or Huatulco (HUX). The Huatulco airport is more convenient and has several international connections to the USA and Canada.
If you are traveling from anywhere else in the world, it’s likely that you’ll have a connection in Mexico City. Keep in mind that the Mexico City airport is large and can sometimes be confusing. It’s best to have at least 2 hours of layover time.
From the airport, there are several ways to get to Zipolite:
-
Airport taxi: The easiest solution, can be arranged via the taxi desk in the airport.
-
Local taxi: If you take a taxi on the road outside the airport, it’s about 40% cheaper than an airport taxi.
-
Rent a car: Renting a car is possible in both airports.

4. decide on
transportation
While car rentals give you more flexibility to see the area, note the roads are not paved, not well lit at night, and do not always jive with Google Maps!
If you are already in Mexico, it’s also possible to get to Zipolite by bus. The most common routes are the mountain route going from Pochutla via Huatulco and Salinas to Oaxaca City, and the coastal route to Mexico City. Keep in mind that both routes are long and can be very uncomfortable because of the winding roads and the many speed bumps. Because of the many low-cost carriers, it’s often cheaper to fly than to take a bus in Mexico. If you still want to arrive overland, check Busbud for tickets.
