Transport around Puerto Angel

Jun 11, 2018, 10:28 AM

Hi

We're staying in Puerto Angel for a few days in early November and would like to explore the coast and surrounding area. We'd definitely like to visit Mazunte and Zipolite but I think it would also be nice to take a day trip to Puerto Escondido.

What I'd like to know is how easy it is to navigate this area using the camionetas and colectivos? A bit of googling has revealed that from Puerto Angel the camionetas run up to Pochutla rather than west along the coast, so we'd have to change there to get to Mazunte etc. Any advice as to how well served Puerto Angel is by the colectivos would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Colectivos run between P.A. and La Ventanilla including Zipolite, San Agustinillo and Mazunte on the lower road (175). You can take one to San Agustinillo and walk 10 minutes to Mazunte. You might find it's a few short rides with different drivers. Easiest to Puerto Escondido is colectivo to Pochutla and jump on the bus for the main road (200). You can also have a taxi give you a colectivo rate and pick up other fares along the way. Colectivos are not the combis or vans of the east coast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heI2iypyJuI
