The experience
The morning air in Oaxaca still had that earthy smell when our driver pulled up right on time: no waiting around, which I appreciated. He greeted us with a quick smile and helped load our bags in the back. The car was spotless and cool inside, a relief since the sun was already warming up the city streets. We settled in with cold bottled water and set off, watching the city fade behind us as we headed for Puerto Escondido.
Along the way, our driver, Miguel, shared little bits about the route. He pointed out where locals sometimes stop for fresh tamales (though we kept going this time). The road winds through hills and small towns. You’ll see folks selling fruit at roadside stands or hear music drifting from open windows. It’s not a short trip, but having someone who knows these roads made it feel easy. We could relax, nap, or just watch the scenery change from highland green to coastal palms.
When we finally rolled into Puerto Escondido, Miguel dropped us right at our lodging’s door: no fussing with taxis or figuring out directions after hours on the road. The whole thing felt smooth and personal, not rushed or crowded like public buses can be. If you’re traveling with kids, they’ve got infant seats too. You just need to ask ahead.
