We usually take the blue-and-white "microbus" from the intersection on Hiway 200 where Oaxaca Avenue begins (catch it on the southwest corner) ... ride the microbus to the "crucero" at San Antonio and then negotiate with a taxi or just take a "cooperativo" whether we want to go to Mazunte, San Augustinillo or Zipolite.

Take any bus heading to Pochutla, Huatulco and points east. That would be almost any bus on the highway above the Adoquín or Zicatela. Or you can get a bus at the ADO station. Get off at the Puerto Angel junction. Then get a colectivo to Puerto Angel and a colectivo or taxi from there to Zipolite. The Masunte route works too, I'm not sure which is longer.

A nice, air-conditioned ADO or SUR to El Crucero where 175 & 200 meet might be a tad longer than the San Antonio-La Ventanillo-San Augustinillo-Mazunte-Zipolite route, but it's a hell of a lot more comfortable. I understand that Hotel Playa Zipolite, accross the alley from La Choza, is back up-and-running and the best buy on the Roca Blanca strip. And Don Francos is still the best Italian food I've eaten anywhere.

I also take the microbus across from the Che on the highway, you can then ask the driver to drop you off at the Crucero de Mazunte and wait for a few minutes for a camionnetta or collectivo, It will take you first to Mazunte, San Agustinillo and then Zipolite. It's a very pleasant ride.

The Sur, not Ado bus will drop you at the San Antonio crusero if you ask. Catch the camineta (sp?) trucks there to Zipolite. Their a lot of fun and generally cooler than the cooptivo taxis which are sometimes too crowded.
