Transportation

Puerto Vallarta's Gustavo Díaz Ordáz International Airport is about 4 miles from the city and pretty close to most major resorts. It caters to both domestic and international flights. Flights to Puerto Vallarta are available from most major cities in U.S. and Canada. Puerto Vallarta is also a hub to many other Mexican cities.

Transportation to and from the airport is by taxi or combi bus. Tickets for these modes of transport need to be purchased at small counters just outside the terminal. The cost depends on your destination. Using these facilities can be a little more expensive than, just walking out of the terminal and hailing a taxi on the street. Make sure you negotiate the cost to reach your destination before entering the taxi.

Bus

Bus stops can be found every block or two and the buses run throughout the day. With a transfer or two you can get anywhere within the city, however at certain bus stations you can catch buses to remote destinations or other cities as well.

Taxi

There are tons of taxis around town and you should not have any problem finding one. The fares to several destinations are posted in each taxi, the daily newspaper and most major hotels. Negotiate the fare before you set off, this would avoid problems later.
