Getting around the Bay area is safe, easy and affordable.
Walking is a safe and an economical option for travelers of
all ages especially in Bucerias and La Cruz. The locals are
always friendly and helpful and the area is generally free
of street and beach peddlers and timeshare sales
representatives. Enjoying these towns on foot allows you to
immerse yourself in the ambience and culture that is
uniquely Mexican.
Bus service is available to almost everywhere and is also an
inexpensive option for the budget minded traveller. Safe and
easy to use, it is a popular transportation method for

Taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive depending on

of service driving around and taking in the scenic Mexican
landscape, remember the fare is always negotiable.
For those looking to rent a car, there are numerous rental
locations in Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias. For those who
would like the flexibility of having their own
transportation available to them but without the hassle of

option.
