Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, head towards the town of Tehuacalco, which is located in Guerrero. From the nearest major city, Acapulco, take the Federal Highway 95D towards the north. Continue driving for approximately 2 hours until you reach the intersection for the town of Tehuacalco. Turn left at the sign for Tehuacalco, which will lead you onto a smaller road. Follow this road for about 10-15 minutes, and you will arrive at the archaeological site. Make sure to check for local road conditions and traffic updates before your journey.

Public Transportation

To reach Tehuacalco via public transportation, start by taking a bus from Acapulco to the town of Ayutla de los Libres. The bus ride takes about 2 hours and costs approximately 100-150 MXN. Upon arriving in Ayutla, look for local transportation options, such as a taxi or a shared van (called 'colectivo'), that can take you to Tehuacalco. The fare for a colectivo is usually around 30-50 MXN per person. The drive from Ayutla to Tehuacalco will take about 30 minutes. Make sure to confirm the final destination with the driver.

Taxi or Rideshare

If you prefer a more direct route and are starting from a nearby town or city in Costa Chica, you can opt for a taxi or a rideshare service. Depending on your location, negotiate a fare or check the app for pricing to ensure a fair rate. The cost may vary but expect to pay around 300-500 MXN from towns close to Tehuacalco.
