Colectivos?

Aug 18, 2017, 11:26 AM

I have been looking at places in Zipolite and some
 of the listings mention "colectivos in front of building"
or "next to the colectivos"

Do these colectivos work more or less like the colectivos
 in the Riviera Maya? '

Could I take one from Zipolite to the turtle sanctuary in
 Mazunte or the grocery store in Pochutla?

How much do they cost?

If my wife and I decide to stop being hippies for a day,
could we take a colectivo to an AI that sells day passes?

They are pick-up trucks travelling a set route and
 return. From Zipolite to Mazunte for example is a
 couple of different trucks. Pochutla might be two as well.
 You'll learn
 it quickly. To get to an AI you'll need buses.

Colectivos in Zipolite are kind of like the Aurigas in Mazatlan? Now my kids will want to go to Zipolite. They keep bugging me to back to Mazatlan so they can ride in the pulmonias and aurigas.

Colectivos go wherever and whenever the driver can make the most money? I don't imagine that there is a schedule or a route map anywhere?

Is there a schedule or route map for regular buses on-line somewhere?

Thanks for your help!
