Pochutla also offers van service between the Pacific coast and Oaxaca City at 120 pesos. The vans run over the steep mountains to the southwest of Oaxaca City. With a dramamine tablet taken about a half hour before leaving, these vans make a comfortable, budget option with a trip of six hours. The pills are available at the farmacias. Just one tablet seems to suffice for six hours.
