Taxi & Transport Scams in Puerto Escondido

Taxi Overcharging from Oaxaca Airport and Town

Taxis serving routes between Puerto Escondido's airport, town center, and the Zicatela surf zone routinely overcharge tourists who don't know the standard fares. Official fares are posted at the airport taxi stand but drivers sometimes bypass the stand and quote higher prices. Night routes and routes from the upper town to Zicatela are particularly susceptible to inflated pricing.
