Getting Here

The village of Sayulita is the perfect place to enjoy the beach, eateries, and a flavor of Mexico.  Conveniently located, with direct flights from several U.S. cities (Phoenix, Dallas, Houston,  Atlanta, Chicago, Portland, L.A., for example), you can leave the east coast early morning and be in Sayulita for lunch).  You will fly into Puerto Vallarata’s airport (PVR), which is located north of the city and closer to Sayulita (only 22 miles); taxi to Sayulita can cost $60, but if you cross the highway, you can get a taxi for less.  If you cross the highway and wait for the bus (Sayulita will be painted in white letters on the windshield; about every half-hour), it will cost you only 20 Pesos (about $2 each person) and take only 20 minutes longer than a taxi.  (Make a note: There is a time zone change between PVR and Sayulita.  Sayulita is one-hour behind Puerto Vallarta and the airport; enjoy the extra hour in Sayulita, but when you go back to catch your plane, leave an hour early to allow for the time change.) 

 

If you are staying at Villa Cielito, Casita Cielito or Casita Libertad, from where the bus lets you off in Sayulita, you can walk to the Villa or Casitas in less than ten minutes.  An additional visitor information booklet is supplied in the villa and casitas.

Change some money at the airport if you have to, but there are additional money exchange offices and banks in a shopping center about one walking block south of the airport),; if you can’t exchange in or near the airport, there are two places to exchange money in Sayulita, although the rate is not as good.  Sayulita also has several ATMs.
