“ Shared van from OAX to PE-how? ”

Dec 22, 2012, 1:19 PM

We are now set for March with plans to do the van drive from OAX to PE and then fly back. How does one get the van in OAX and what is fair price? The drive down to the ocean sounds very interesting (if you don't get sick!). Also my wife is a little worried about bano stops so has anyone just rented the whole van or done a taxi and what would that cost? Gracias

A pirvate van would cost about 5000 pesos, based on the last time I inquired about a year ago. The van services charge a couple of hundred pesos, more or less. There's one service on Arista 107, and another on Bustamente 622. There are a couple on Galeana, and another on La Noria. Most stop atPochutla from where you get a cab. All the van services offer rock bottom fair prices. An alternative to a private van through a tour company, would be to ask one of the van services with smaller vehicles for the minimum number of passengers it has to have before leaving and then pay that amount for your group. At least one on Galeana will do it that way, cheaper than a private tour company or regular van driver you otherwise find in the city. They usually stop once, unless of course there's illness. There is usually a pit stop in San José del Pacífico.
