Pochutla is located at the junction of coastal highway 200 and highway 175 to Oaxaca. It is a bustling regional business center and is not tourist-oriented. Highway 175 winds through the center of town and one must drive slowly due to pedestrians and traffic; there is a bypass highway to the west. In the evening, there isn't so much traffic on Hwy 175 and this strip is a good place to enjoy the street food.
