How to get to PUERTO Escondido / Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido by bus (2021)

[@TheCountryCollectors]

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!

[@franks2983]

It was nothing like you guys but we were no a bus with goats and chickens in Belize for 5 hours once. It was an experience!

[@meatgravylard]

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....

[@TheCountryCollectors]

@@meatgravylard haha 😂 damn! That’s a hell of a trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@danielandrade9081]

and that you have not traveled anything and Chiapas, Guerrero and Sonora there you go to feel the way

[@Anna-zr4ls]

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.

[@brennbalaban4764]

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Haha yes we did! Those hot cakes were delicious!! You know we are loving the beach. Thank you. Love you too!! 😘

That was a nice touch that you gave an example of the supplies that you were bringing with you. Metal detector on the way in the bus and video of your faces. That's some serious security. I took a bus from Tucson to Miami one time. I feel your pain. Glad to hear it was worth it.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Thank you so much! It was quite the journey but far from our longest or hardest! It was interesting for sure. They were metal detecting 3 year olds too! It was definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!

[@nancysantamaria3924]

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. So glad you did this vlog- good to know what to expect! Thanks Heidi and Adam 🥰🙏

[@TheCountryCollectors]

lol oh yes we have those stories too! Omg in Bolivia we took a taxi from La Paz to our accommodations in the mountains and we had to drive on the WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS ROAD. 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!

[@nancysantamaria3924]

@@TheCountryCollectors I’m not sure if I was on that road- possibly. I had terrible altitude sickness in La Paz, actually sick in all 3 cities I travelled to so on travel days I was usually out of it 😞

Hi friends. The overnight ride can be a great ride-especially if you have motion sickness tablets and can catch some Zs while you ride. Sorry you weren't really able to get good sleep. Glad you finally made it. The pancakes look incredible. We don't have a story quite like yours. But we do have some videos you would enjoy. Come check them out when you get a chance.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Sounds great! We would love too! It’s always great to meet fellow Travelers! The pancakes were delicious. It’s called the grand slam if you ever get there. 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, 3 bacon 🥓 , potatoes and fruit for 100 pasos!!! Totally worth the ride!!!

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!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

What!! That is absolutely ridiculous, I am so sorry you had to experience that racism. I would have called the bus company and had a few not so nice words to share with them. That makes me really mad! What an ignorant person.

@@TheCountryCollectors yeah i know right. We were supposed to file a complaint to that busdriver, but we were so busy we totally forgot about it.

[@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]

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.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Oooo that was tough!!

[@brockonairs]

My craziest must be when I wanted to try out an over night bus drive between provinces. Worst experience ever. The bus was infested with cockroaches, as soon as the lights dimmed in that bus it was party frenzy for those roaches. I didnt even get 1 min sleep in cause had to fight them off. Yea since then I never tried that again and sticked to flying lol

[@TheCountryCollectors]

What the hell!! That sounds awful! Reminds me of the time we were in South Africa at a hostel and I woke up with something on my arm and they were cockroaches.

It Varies. Flights leave everyday. You can book the same day if there is availability but usually a week in advance. The plane ride was 3 times as much

Ooo how was that trip? We have heard wonderful things! Yes, fly into Mexico City and ti Puerto Escondido. We flew Volaris from Puerto Escondido to Mexico City and it was great and very affordable. 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. The bus was pretty rough, but so worth it once we got there!

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! 😂

😂 we hear you! It was a tough journey but worth it in the end! Thanks for suffering through the ride with us! Lol 😂

[@jamesbrabandt9633]

The vans run in the early morning and get you to PE much faster/cheaper.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Maybe next time! Thanks for the info. We are always happy to learn and share! We heard the bus was more stable and like to travel overnight when we can! Appreciate you.

[@iluv2_travel]

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I believe the central ADO station in Jalatlaco

gran información gracias!

[@mariaelenaperez9601]

I consider those bus drivers too ! I don't know how they do this every day

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I don’t either! That’s a very tough job.

[@linhandcalvin7109]

I like to see you guys wear the masks while filming the video. What the experience you had!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Thank you so much! safety first and above all respect for the local laws and people. We all have to do our part! it was an experience for sure that was worth it in the end!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Great!

17 hour flight ✈️ was horrendous to Philippines

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Oh man! We’ve been there. But I’m sure it was worth it!

[@adrianacampos9171]

He's funny

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Thanks Adriana! We appreciate you appreciating me! Stay tuned for more fun adventures with us! 🌎

Craziest transport, 2 days from Donovan State prison to Solano Stae Prison, stopping at 6 prisons on the way, an overnight in Corcoran, 120 degree cell, chained on a bus with metal seats, dressed in a toilet paper thin orange jump suit and white boxers, flip flops, hand chained at the waist so you can barely scrath your nose...

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Wow sounds pretty crazy!

[@markszeto1564]

Yes, I do like to see you guys suffer... haha. Definately flying fo rme.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Haha!! Yes we are flying next time for sure too!

[@jakobdietl1111]

take off the mask if you talk to the cam!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Out of respect for all the others around us we prefer to leave our masks on. I know it is hard to hear, but it is something we feel is important and common courtesy.

[@matute11]

I wont be taking the Bus!!! Vomit City!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Glad we could help you make the decision! It was a tough one but doable and ultimately worth it for the destination. If your heading to Puerto Escondido we have lots of fun and helpful videos!!! Travel Safe!

[@bonnyvondolores2647]

fyi… we cant understand you… with those masks on… take them off when you’re talking to the camera… please

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Yes that was back when they were mandatory. You had to keep them on. And plus beyond that it was for respect for others.

[@brendalee6351]

Your volume is bad, especially with the mask.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Ok
