Puerto Escondido, a hidden paradise on Mexico's Pacific coast, is becoming increasingly accessible to travelers from abroad. If you're planning a tropical getaway and wondering how to get to Puerto Escondido from the United States, this practical guide offers all the updated routes and options to make your trip as easy as possible.
Good news! Traveling to Oaxaca from the United States has never been easier. A direct flight from Houston (IAH) to Puerto Escondido International Airport (PXM) was recently launched, an excellent option for those looking to minimize stopovers and quickly arrive to enjoy the sun, waves, and Oaxacan cuisine.
Additionally, another very convenient alternative has just been added to the available options: the direct flight from Tijuana (TIJ) to Puerto Escondido (PXM) . This flight represents a great advantage for residents of Southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles and surrounding areas), as they can easily cross the border to Tijuana Airport —using the Cross Border Xpress (CBX)—and take this direct flight to paradise without the need for stopovers or expensive flights from U.S. airports.
These new connections mark a milestone in international tourism in Oaxaca, opening the doors of the Mexican Pacific to more travelers from the United States seeking authentic, natural destinations.
If you're not in Houston or prefer other routes, don't worry. There are several connecting flights to PXM from major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, or Miami. These routes generally make stops in:
Mexico City (CDMX): From there, you can take a domestic flight to Puerto Escondido, with multiple departures daily.
Oaxaca de Juárez (OAX): Another alternative is to fly to Oaxaca International Airport, and from there take a land trip to the coast.
Huatulco (HUX): This airport is approximately two hours by road from Puerto Escondido and has good connections from Mexico City.
In addition to PXM Airport, consider these nearby options:
Oaxaca Airport (OAX): Ideal if you want to first explore the city of Oaxaca, known for its cultural and culinary heritage. Then, you can take a bus or private shuttle to Puerto Escondido, an approximate 3.5-hour drive along the new highway.
Huatulco Airport (HUX): Just 2 hours away, this is another excellent gateway to the coastal region of Oaxaca.
It all depends on your priorities:
Looking for speed? A direct flight from Houston to PXM or from Tijuana to PXM is the most convenient.
Do you live in California? Consider crossing into Tijuana and taking the direct flight from there.
Want to explore more of Oaxaca? Arrive in Oaxaca, enjoy the city, and then head down to the coast.
Prefer budget flights? Check out the deals with stopovers in Mexico City, as they often offer cheap flights to Puerto Escondido.
