We want to ride in a Pulmonia but do not know how much to offer. We dont want to be cheap about it but neither do we want to get ripped off. How much should a ride from the port to downtown be?

Pulmonias charge the same rates basically as regular taxis, and if you mean airport to downtown there are no pulmonias that go to the airport it is not permitted so you can only take them in town. I am not up on the costs lately but it also depends on the time of year and what time of day, they charge more at night and the best thing is just to ask how much they charge to take you someplace and if it seems out of reason wait for another one.

If you are talking the cruise ship port to centro....they will charge you about 30 pesos....from the port to Zona Dorado, it should be about 60 pesos.

on cruiseship days there is a lottery for the guys and they seem to raise prices! Eco-taxi is cheaper and safer! NEVER get in a cab in Mazatlan without and agreed price! also if you are on a ship, you must have three things: !) a 30 pesos phone card for Telemex,most phones don't take coins,if they do it's pesos, so if you have a problem you are prepared to call for help2) get pesos. Banks will not change dollars without passport and usually no $100 bills. By not brings a few pesos with you, you stand to lose $10 per $100!3)sunscreen and water! Enjoy
