The left break is in front of you at the point and is pretty good, and there is a strong right break a few miles North. You won't be disappointed"

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.  **PARKING** we offer limited parking for our guests. Due to the 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 you.

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. It’s best to book a rental car in advance through Alamo, Avis, Hertz or Budget. Note: If you don’t plan on renting an SUV, it’s 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.
