Book a transfer from Oaxaca City to Puerto Escondido — descending from the Sierra Madre mountains to one of Mexico's best Pacific coast surf towns.
The 260 km journey takes 6 to 7 hours via the winding mountain highway through the Sierra Madre del Sur. The road descends dramatically from Oaxaca's highland valley (1,500m elevation) down to sea level, with spectacular mountain scenery and small indigenous villages along the way.
Puerto Escondido is a laid-back Pacific coast town famous for its world-class surf at Playa Zicatela (the "Mexican Pipeline"), bioluminescent lagoon tours at Manialtepec, sea turtle releases, and relaxed beach culture. The town features distinct neighborhoods — from the surfer-centric Zicatela strip to the bohemian Rinconada area and the family-friendly Carrizalillo cove. Excellent seafood, vibrant nightlife, and a growing digital nomad scene complete the picture.
