Choose the direct OCC or ADO GL bus when one booking and no airport transfer are worth a journey of roughly 13–14 hours, often overnight. Recent Busbud prices are about MXN 1,330–1,622. If you compare a flight, include the ground transfers at both ends and check how the arrival fits your accommodation.

Current service
Recent Busbud listings show direct OCC and ADO GL services. Departure times and prices vary by date, so use the exact service shown for your travel day rather than treating one listing as a permanent timetable.
Departure in San Cristóbal
Busbud maps the San Cristóbal departure stop for this route to Av. Insurgentes 66, Santa Lucía. Confirm the boarding point printed on your ticket because other platforms may use different terminal labels.
San Cristóbal Bus Stations & Terminals
Arrival in Puerto Escondido
Current listings arrive at ADO Bus Terminal – Puerto Escondido. Puerto Escondido is spread across several neighborhoods and beach areas, so plan local transport from the terminal to your accommodation.
Bus or flight
The direct bus avoids an airport transfer from San Cristóbal but takes most of a night. A flight itinerary usually means reaching an airport first and adding ground transport at the other end. Compare the complete trip, not only flight time.
