Directions

The taxi service:  as you exit Oaxaca’s air terminal, through the large open doorway, there is a small counter to the right just inside the exit doors.  Buy a pass for a taxi (up to 4 people and luggage) which will take you directly to your hotel.  Or you can go by “colectivo” van, it will cost about ¼ the price of the taxi, but the charge is per person, and the ride often takes much longer as it stops for other passengers.  Ask to go to “el centro” and then give the driver our address.

There is only one authorized taxi service from the airport to the city – requesting a taxi to meet you at the airport costs about twice the price!

You’ll probably be coming in on a 1^st class bus, so will arrive at the ADO bus station. Get a cab and give him the following directions: “el Hotel Azucenas está en la esquina de Matamoros y la Calle M. Aranda (también conocido como Unión), a una cuadra arriba de la Basílica de la Soledad, y en frente de la escuela primaria Andrés Portillo”.

If you want to walk from the bus station, it’s about 3 km/1.8 mile to the hotel: go left as you come out of the bus station and onto the main, busy street  – Niños Heroes de Chapultepec (there are traffic lights on this corner, go a few blocks and then left onto Av. Juarez, then six blocks south (eventually along the side of the huge and lovely Parque Llano), and then right onto Murgia (which will turn into Matamoros) – seven blocks will bring you to our door.

Come in from Puebla/Mexico City on Highway 190 (which becomes Calzada Madero as it enters the city, and then Av. Independencia). Turn left onto Crespo (one-way, north), go three blocks and then left onto M. Bravo. One block up the cobblestones and then left onto M. Aranda, one more block (you are now going south again) and you’ll be in front of our door.
