Directions & Maps


 

Cab fare to La Puntilla is around $35.00 - $40.00 US, from the airport or downtown.  Always negotiate the cost of the cab up front as there are no meters.  The taxi stand at the airport can tell you how much the cab will be before getting in.  Let the taxi stand person know that the house is between Bucerias and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.  When you turn off the Highway 200 to La Cruz tell him LA PUNTILLA. 

To take the bus to the house from the airport, cross the bridge (walkway over the road ) and wait at the bottom of the stairs for the Compostela bus.  The bus will stop for you.  Take a bus that has "La Cruz" or "Punta Mita" written across the front windshield 

If you are driving, there is a new 4 lane highway all the way to La Cruz.  From the Airport, follow the signs to Compostella or Highway 200 to Tepic.  You will drive about  22 kms (15 miles) or 20 minutes to the house.  We will provide complete directions once final payment has been received.
