If your flight arrive at the Mexico City
Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez,
the main gateway to the country) and if you're taking a taxi,
to the Bus Terminal to get to Zihuatanejo, be sure to purchase
your ticket at an official airport taxi counter marked transportación
terrestre (ground transportation), located just after
the baggage area in national arrivals and in the concourse area
(leaving customs to your left) in international arrivals.
Within Mexico, buses are the most popular way to travel: you can
board ultramodern, superdeluxe motor coaches that show U.S. movies
and serve soft drinks, coffee, and sandwiches. Autobuses Estrella
de Oro and Autobuses Estrella
Blanca offer you the best option.
Your taxi driver will ask which
bus terminal you want? Central de Autobuses del Sur (Tasqueña
1320, Mexico City, Mexico.
PHONE: 55/5689-9745 or 55/5689-4987).
NOTE: Taking
the metro between the airport and the city is an impractical option.
Also, heavy luggage is not allowed on the metro during rush hours.
By Car
Recommended from Mexico City: Routes "Autopista
Del Sol" (60% of the total distance to our resort
is through toll-way) or "Autopista Siglo XXI"
(90% of the total distance is toll-way); total traveling time
is very similar for both highways (about 8 hours).
