Puerto Escondido Airport to Zicatela private transfer

Private transportation from Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM) to a hotel or Airbnb in Zicatela, with a fixed MXN rate per vehicle and surfboard space arranged in advance.

What the transfer includes

  • Private one-way vehicle from PXM to the confirmed Zicatela address.
  • About 3.1 miles (5 km), usually 12–15 minutes under normal traffic.
  • Flight tracking and local pickup instructions provided with confirmation.
  • Surfboard and oversized-luggage space when declared before the vehicle is assigned.

The private transfer from Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM) to Zicatela covers about 3.1 miles (5 km) and normally takes 12–15 minutes. The ride is reserved for your party, and the team confirms the vehicle and fixed one-way rate in Mexican pesos before the trip. Add surfboards and oversized luggage to the request so the correct vehicle can be assigned.

  • Pickup: Puerto Escondido Airport arrivals.
  • Drop-off: confirmed hotel, Airbnb or accessible address in Zicatela.
  • Toyota Avanza: from MXN 2,000 for up to 4 travelers.
  • Van: from MXN 2,500 for up to 12 travelers.

Why prearrange such a short ride?

The advantage is not a dramatic time saving; it is certainty. The official taxi kiosk is a reasonable walk-up option, but it does not reserve a specific vehicle before landing or guarantee space for surfboards. A private transfer is useful when you arrive after a long flight, travel as a group, carry boards or want the hotel or Airbnb address coordinated in advance.
