Bus from Zihua to Puerto Escondido

Hola, I've traveled from Zihuatanejo to Puerto Escondido by bus twice. First time using Estrella de Oro, second time I left from the main bus terminal. (Can't remember the name of the bus line.) Either way, you must go through Acapulco.

Anyway, I left very early (4:30am) the second time around, arriving Acapulco about 3 1/2 hours later. Connected to Puerto Escondido bus line (different bus company) but, in SAME bus terminal that I arrived in from Zihuatanejo. Bought ticket to PE there. Waited about an hour for the connecting bus and arrived in PE about 7 hours later. No overnight in ACA. The Estrella de Oro bus line lets you off in another terminal in Acapulco, necessitating a taxi ride accross town.

Hope this helps.
