It is 250km from Oaxaca to Zipolite. The road winds its way through and over the mountains. The trip takes about 7 hours.
The Closest Airport to Zipolite Mexico is Huatulco. I flew that route twice and you can read about how to get from Huatulco Airport to Zipolite here.
Two companies do the journey. Eclipse 70 and Líneas Unidas:
From Oaxaca to Zipolite I paid 300MXN using Eclipse 70.
From Zipolite to Oaxaca City I paid 290MXN using Líneas Unidas. 2022 price is 300MXN
Both companies stop at the 125km point for a 15-minute break.
The schedule varies. When I went to Zipolite only Eclipse 70 was doing a daily run. Líneas Unidas was doing just 4 days a week but coming back both were running everyday. Check with the ticket office for current times.
They both do the trip about 5 or 6 times a day or you could use the more frequent service to and from Pochutla, 10km from Zipolite.
The ride over the mountains is pretty chilly so take a sweater. If you are prone to travel sickness, best you fly in from MEXICO CITY. The closest airport to Zipolite is the Bahias De Huatulco International Airport.
