Bus trip Zihua to Puerto Escondido

Thinking about taking a bus to Puerto Escondido and then from there to Oaxaca and reverse back to Zihua, just a site seeing trip, not in a hurry but don t want to drive myself. Dont want to fly to Mexico if I can avoid it .

What is a realistic estimate of time on the bus from Zhiua to Escondido with a transit thru Acapulco? Can this be done in one day if a person starts early?

Also what is a reasonable estimate of bus time from Escondido to Oaxaca now that the new road is open?

I am thinking of making the trip on Jan 7th so much of the Navidad traffic should be over. Gracias

I did the reverse a couple of years ago.
And I did it at night, which is somewhat cautionary.
Started in Escondido at about midnight.
Got into Acapulco about 9AM.
Immediately got on another bus for Zihua and arrived at around 1/2 PM

In Escondido stayed at Hotelito Swiss Oasis, right in the middle of Zicatela.
And El Cafecito is the social center of Zicatela.
Definitely go to Zipolite and wander the beach bear naked...

In Oaxaca stayed at small hotel Las Mariposas- great little spot.
Met some wonderful travelers and we did the day tour visiting the small villages around Oaxaca.
Undoubtedly a visit to Monte Alban and Botanical Gardens are musts in Oaxaca.
As well as many other sites...

Buena Viaje...
