Moving to Guanajuato

[ldrews]

Sorry, I don't know the cost of an official taxi from Guadalajara to Guanajuato. The independent people outside the airport who solicited me for a car trip quoted about 1000 pesos, if I remember correctly, but I always used an official taxi to go to the bus station and then to Guanajuato. It's about 200 pesos from the airport to the bus station in Guadalajara.

I suppose that first class buses won't take dogs, even in cargo, but don't overlook the second class buses that take all manner of cargo without question. I once was on a bus that had goats loose in the luggage compartment (along with my backpack and other passengers' stuff)! Second and third-class buses go all sorts of circuitous routes, and you may even need to spend the night in some out of the way place. But, think of the stories you would have to tell about your adventure!

Thanks for the info. I thought about the bus, but the dog would have to go into cargo. I don't think my wife will buy that. And I think we will have enough adventure initially just getting to Guanajuato! Thanks again.

I have no idea how much a taxi from Guadalajara to Guanajuato GTO is - but to give you some idea of an upper mark to begin with. From Durango to Guanajuato which is a 7 hour trip in a taxi we recently negotiated a fee of $4400 pesos. Another quote for an SUV with driver was $1800 pesos per day and we had to pay all costs.

Thanks for the detailed info. This helps me estimate what our costs are going to be. Based on your experiences, $3000 pesos for a taxi to Guanajuato would seem reasonable.
