By Local Bus Service By far the
cheapest route this should cost you around $80 pesos. When you exit
the airport, walk straight out to the end of the airport area and
you will find a small bus stand. This bus will take you into the
center of zihuatanejo at the bus terminal. - From there look for a
bus heading to Lazro Cardenas. When you get on the bus make sure to
inform the bus driver that you will be getting off in Troncones. The
bus ride is about 1.5hrs. When you reach the top of the Troncones
Road there is a "collectivo" shuttle that comes to the top of the
road. You will stay on the bus from the top of the road down and to
the RIGHT at the "T" in the road. 3k down there is bright blue "SURF
HOSTEL - 200M" on the corner. Get off the bus there and walk down
the road to our Hostel on the right hand side. If you have problems
with the collectivo or just some help translating please call us at
MEX - 755-553-2886
By Car
Drive north on Highway 200 (200 begins at the airport) past Zihuatanejo
and up the hill towards Ixtapa. Follow the signs to Lazaro Cardenas
turn RIGHT at the top of the hill. Drive about one-half hour
through some small villages. About 3 miles past the village of Buena
Vista and around a bend you will see the LEFT turn for Troncones.
Turn LEFT and follow it through Troncones pueblo to the beach. Turn
RIGHT at the T-intersection and follow it for about 2 miles. The
next road you come to will be a LEFT turn. There is a bright blue
"SURF HOSTEL - 200M" on the corner. Go down the road until
you come to the Troncones Point Surf Club on the right.

small number of spots avaliable in front of our property, please let
us know in advance so we can make sure to have a place avaliable for

Car Rentals and Taxis
At the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Airport you can either rent a car or take
a taxi. There are numerous car rental agencies located within the
airport terminal directly in front of the Customs clearance door.
Its best to book a rental car in advance through Alamo, Avis,
Hertz or Budget. Note: If you dont plan on renting an SUV,
its best to bring along some portable surf racks for the economy
cars.
Taxis are also available in all shapes and sizes depending
upon your luggage. There are two ways to get a taxi. First, you
can go to the taxi co-op booth in the terminal and get a taxi
for no more then $600 pesos (about $50.00 US) or you can
go outside the terminal and try to negotiate a cheaper rate directly
with a taxi driver (A good way to get a deal is after they name a
price ask where the bus is, it generally goes down pretty fast.) Some of the drivers speak English and can be
negotiated with ease depending on the season. All taxi drivers know
how to get to Troncones. But, if you choose to drive yourself, Troncones
is easy to get to. See the map for directions.
Note: When you are driving through the villages
watch out for Topes Spanish for Speed Bumps-
pronounced toe pays. Some Topes can be pretty vicious,
so take care and be on the watch for pedestrians and animals.
