  • Looking for information on how to get to Puerto Escondido? Or how to get from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido? Well we’ve got you covered!
    From Oaxaca you can either fly, take a collectivo, or the ADO overnight bus to Puerto Escondido. We chose to take the 11 hour ADO overnight bus... yes, you read that right, 11 hour bus ride!
    So if you’re planning to travel to Puerto Escondido from Oaxaca, and are thinking about taking the bus come along with us on this journey!
    Eager to see if taking the bus was worth it? You’ll just have to tune in to find out! *Make sure to take some motion sicknesses tablets, it is going to be a bumpy ride!
    I wasn't kidding when I said this was my favorite travel accessory! The square scarf is the total package! It serves me as a beach blanket, sarong, towel, pillow, cover up - check it out here! heatherroseshop.com/

    What’s the craziest travel transport you’ve ever experienced? We have a handful of wild stories including driving on The World’s Most Dangerous Road in Bolivia and crossing from Big Corn to Little Corn Islands in Nicaragua - my stomach is hurting just thinking of that boat ride! Hope you enjoyed the video and that it helps you when making your transport decision to Puerto Escondido!

      I drove from a Jerry Garcia Band show(with Merl Saunders and Jorma Kaukonen no less ) from French's Camp south of Garberville to Stinson Beach on Highway 1... on three hits of purple microdot listening to my friends black labrador retriever tell me stories of the time he was on The Tonight Show and how Carson was a great guy, treated him well... all the while believing I was playing a video game where if I didn't keep the double yellow line close to the left side of the Ford LTD I'd lose my last life by going over a cliff that was on the far right side of the yellow....

      The worst bus ride for me, from somewhere in Chiapas to Guatemala City. Ugh😪 It was an experience. Not an ADO bus, it was like 10th class, livestock permitted on bus. NO a/c, no movies put plenty to look at😁😅🤣😂 and smell.

    You deserve 2 thumbs up! My craziest transport story comes from Bolivia! A small group and I were travelling up a mountain in the back of a pick up truck. Winding roads, goats and coming so close to the edge we thought we were going to die, and not just once. We laughed and cried the whole time, approx 2 hours one way. But it was worth every tear because the locals who lived in this remote mountain village welcomed us with song and quinoa.
    I also had some similar experiences when living in Colombia travelling by bus to Bogotá through mountains. One driver was so fast around corners that someone threw up a few rows behind me. So, goo and bad memories, lol.

      It was crazy - did you do that? People bike down it too! Saw a bunch of people wipe out, and some even die going off the edge. A little too risky for my liking!

  • @HTEtravel

    Back in 1980 I travelled through the US by Greyhound for a month. Greyhound had a deal for Canadians where you could travel for a month for $99.00. It was there way of thanking Canadians for getting the US personnel out of Iran. I was 20 at the time. It was probably the craziest month of my life. I don't know how many times I had to talk my way out of getting beaten up. I travelled with a guy that just got out of San Quentin for murder. I had a gun pulled on me. I got run out of Tucson by a couple of deputies, just because I had long hair at the time. The list goes on and on. Sleep was the least of my problems, but it was a big part of making me who I am today.

    • @TheCountryCollectors
      @TheCountryCollectors  Před 3 lety +2

      Wow! What a deal! I have never had that problem with the long hair as I don’t have any!!!! Sounds like quite an adventure you had. Something you could write a book about I’m sure! And a quick tounge is essential for getting out of jams! You never know when something or someone might come up or at you. I have never had a murderer as a travel companion...that I know of but if he did his time I guess it’s all good. Travel heals the soul and makes us strong. It’s something everyone should try at least once. And it isn’t always pretty. I have been in riots in ecuador, lost in the jungle in Costa Rica, almost kidnapped in South Africa, run for my life Hondoras and so many more. And it is for sure the reason I am who I am today. Thanks for watching and for the comment! Stay tuned for more travel adventures!

    Hi guys! What a fun busride! We have experienced a busride too from Belgium going to Paris(back and forth). It was really crazy coz when we want to get back to Belgium, the busdriver didnt let us in the bus coz he thought we were not Belgians coz we look like Asians 🙈. He said we should have a visa. But we don need visa's coz we had our Belgian ID's and passport 🙄. So we had to book another trip again. It was so unfair! We should have complained to the customer service, but we didnt. We liked the bus experience though. Your experience was awesome, you had a huge delicious breakfast and a awesome tropical beach view. Would have done the same 🤩 Enjoy guys!

There are small charter flights from PE to Oaxaca City - I heard cost about $150, not sure how to find the contact though, maybe search online.

    I've taken the 2nd class bus to Pochutla (Puerto Ángel/Zipolite area) 3x, twice at night, and once during the day. This is back in the day though - early 2000s. Not sure if there's even a 2nd class bus still! Lol. But it was 8 hours, and very uncomfortable. The night rides were scary because it's so dark and twisty, and because the daytime ride (which I'd taken first), was exhilarating but terrifying and I already knew how dangerous it actually looks. Would I do it again? In a ❤beat! 😂
