Travel
Most international flights connect through Mexico City (MEX). From there, take a domestic flight to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH), which is about a 1 hour flight. Several airlines operate this route daily.
From ZIH it is approximately a 1 hour drive north to La Saladita. You can take a taxi, arrange a private transfer, or rent a car at the airport for flexibility to explore the coast.
