La Paz Collectivos?!
Hola,
We are back in La Paz after visiting Tecolote, and are pretty ready to leave - Carnaval is loud !! So a few transit questions.
I prefer to use collectivo service always and am wondering if anyone has info about the service in & around town?
We have been doing ok asking locals for point A-B, but is there a route map somewhere?
I hear it doesn't go out to the airport, but how far does it go down the highway? Towards Todos Santos or towards Ciudad Constitucion?
Lastly, any public service up to Mogote, El Cajete, Punta Coyote?
Any info is appreciated,
Gracias!

Let's talk!
I read your U2U, and if you are ready to leave La Paz, I can drive you to your next destination (within reason) tomorrow! Tell me with another U2U
where and when to meet you, and we can discuss the destination.
The internet here is spotty, and there are so, many options that we should talk in person. Warning, if a large, friendly but
excitable dog is a deal breaker, let me know now, because she is part of the offer!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Colectivos go as far as El Centenario

airport is 4km from there
no public service towards San Juan de la Costa, or Mogote

Chuck you have a real problem! Met these two very nice respectable people that have traveled extensively through out the globe. Wish I was so world
traveled when I was that young. Living life and having a good time at it. Why you such a downer?
Live and let live. If you were to meet these people you may have a different perspective... Just say'in.

The peseros in most of Mexico have regular routes and the regulars know them. It's all local knowledge stuff. The solution for a newcomer is to ask.
In La Paz they gather around the Madero mkt. Four outlying areas they gather around Sorina plaza. For Ventana and Centenario areas they are near the
Bravo mkt. There will be a very busy "police" looking person with clipboard, a whistle and knowledge walking around. Ask that person. Anywhere else,
ask the driver if he goes there before getting on. He will direct you to the proper pesero. So far no women in this game. Even the locals ask. If you
don't speak Spanish it will add to the fun.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

Alternate transportation
I suggest you use the AKgringo Isuzu option. I am ready to go as soon as I find out how to connect with you!
