Puerto Escondido

Getting around

There is no Uber here

Uber and DiDi are not authorized in the state of Oaxaca. The apps sometimes show cars on the map; in practice you will not get a ride. Do not plan your arrival around them.

What does exist: taxis de sitio, mototaxis, and colectivos — shared pickups running the coast highway between the town, Zicatela and La Punta for a small fixed fare. Cheap and frequent, but a daytime thing.

From the airport

  • Puerto Escondido (PXM) is the near one — roughly 15 to 25 minutes by car from here. This is the airport to fly into.
  • Huatulco (HUX) is the alternative, about 100 km along the coast highway, roughly an hour and a half to an hour and three quarters of driving.
Tell us your flight and we will help you arrange the ride — arriving here after dark without one is the one thing we would rather you didn't do.
