It's the La Union bus, and you get it from the little terminal just off Benito Juarez, the same place you get the bus to Petatlan or Barra de Potosi.
Tell the driver you want to get off at Troncones.

What do you do when you get off the La Union bus? Is there a pasajara or do you take a taxi into town? I've always been curious about it.

I believe that you have to walk down from the highway for a short distance to the road into Troncones, then catch a combi into town.

Someone from Troncones would be best to answer this one. Apparently, sometimes the combi waits up near the new highway stop, and, as you say, sometimes you may have to walk down to the old "entronque" to catch the combi. Where I differ is with the length of that walk from the new highway down to the old. Someone said it was only a couple hundred yards, but it seemed much further to us in the hot sun.
I'll no doubt get slammed for being negative.

Not "slamming" anyone...

You can see the old entrance to Troncones from where the bus let's you out. It is 1/4 kilometer away and there is shade along the way at the gas station...

However, most always, the Kombi waits at the bus stop on the new highway.

Do the Combis appear as frequently as they do in Los Achotes??? I've always wanted to get up to your neck of the woods to explore.

No, not as reliable. We only have two, sometimes three. But I think the longest wait would be 20 minutes or so...

Will, does the combi go all the way to The Inn at Manzanillo Bay?

Yes, it goes all the way to Mahajua, turns around and comes back. Right now I think there are 2 operating.

Any idea how often the La Union bus runs, and on the return from Troncones do you catch it at the old highway bus stop?

It passes every 20 minutes or so and yes, at the old highway stop.

Wil, could I impose on you to write a note that puts the bus/combi directions all in one place? I am having a hard time putting it all together cogently from the thread.

I hope to get all the way out to Inn at Manzanillo Bay.

Perfect. Thank you so much. Hope to see you.

This might look good on another map.

One more question....do the Troncones combis run less frequently on the weekends...if at all?

23 pesos from the Pemex to Zihua, FYI. Just got off the bus about 2 hours ago. Probably a little more dangerous than most rides at the fairgrounds here, I'm sure he reached 120km/hr a few times!
