“ Zipolite from La Crucecita ”
Feb 21, 2013, 8:22 AM
Question? is there a local bus that runs from La Crucecita to Zipolite? if not right to Zipolite what would be the best place to depart the bus, and at that point take a cab the remainder of the way! any idea of cost for the bus and the taxi the remaining distance to Zipolite? We do not speak any Spanish at all, would you think we would have a problem getting there in this manner? we are staying in Zipolite for a few days then returning to La Crucecita. Our travel dates would be Monday March 18 and returning Wednesday March 20!
Thanks for any advice

You could take the SUR bus and get off at the intersection for Pochutla and Puerto Angle, then take a cab to Zippo. The reverse on the way back, Sur runs about every hour during the day.
More folks here are speaking English so you should be fine. Just translate in advance the request for tickets to Pochutla for the bus station. Get the driver to stop and let you off at the lights just past the military checkpoint. There usually are taxis there ar will pass regularly.

My guess is a taxi all the way would be about 2500 pesos more than a bus for two. That's about $10 each. Certainly a lot easier for little extra.

We hired a taxi for the day, went to Puerto Angel, Zipolite, San Agustinillo, and Mazunte. We paid the driver $600 pesos and tip for a whole day. Zipolite is a cool place and fun to hang out for a while (no pun intended) but my all favorite is San Agustinillo. Great beach that has different parts, one is a long open beach, lots of surfers, and a nice semi-sheltered cove that was perfect for swimming and body surfing. If you have an image of a tropical beach getaway, this is it. I could have spent a few days chilling out there. Well worth the trip.
I think Alegre has one too many zeros.

You're right about both San Agustinillo and the zeros.
