After a long day of travel, we finally made it to the Princess Mundo Imperial, home of Anarchapulco!
We caught a Jet Blue flight direct from Orlando to Mexico City and took a 5 hour bus ride down to Acapulco, Punto Diamante.
We had a slight hiccup involving our bus ride from Mexico City to Acapulco. I made a post last year on an awesome way to travel to Anarchapulco, and I'd like to add the following:
First of all, for whatever reason, I kept receiving an error message when trying to purchase bus tickets in advance through the ADO website, so I had to download the app. Also if you use your smart phone, google will translate websites for you.
Unfortunately, after all that, there was still a problem. Turns out the tickets I thought I'd purchased where only reservations, which were supposed to be paid for at the bus terminal.
We got all the way through the check-in, loading up our luggage, and where about to board when we found out our tickets where not actually tickets. Despite the fact that everyone I'd asked up to that point had confirmed that we where good to go...
On top of that our reservations apparently didn't do us any good because once we realized our mistake and went to the counter to pay for the tickets, the bus was sold out...
So we had to wait an hour and a half for the next bus which happened to be on the fancier bus line and cost an additional $10 each per ticket.
However a friend of ours bought her tickets with no problems at all! So maybe it was just my luck.
Either way it was a much better experience then some of the horror stories we heard about making the connecting flight through Mexico City. We heard the same feedback last year as well so I think we will still take the bus next time we come to Anarchapulco.
Plus the ride is full of beautiful views of mountains, ravines, rivers, and all the glory of Mexico's countryside!
