The first option is to take the detour to Compostela, Nayarit, and then continue along Federal Highway 200 and take the curves in the Mesillas area and continue towards Las Varas and then towards Punta Mita, where the road is free; which represents reducing two booths: La Peñita for 171 pesos and Aeropuerto, the most expensive of all, for 455 pesos. But in Compostela there is one for less than 50 pesos. That is, this trip would cost around 700 pesos.
The second option is to leave, after La Peñita, towards Cruz de Huanacaxtle. This route would save the Airport booth, which is 455 pesos, but adds the Bucerias booth, which is 223 pesos. In other words, basically only 232 pesos are saved, so the trip would cost 1068 pesos.
To Puerto Vallarta completely FREE
The third option is to take Federal Highway 15 or Carretera a Nogales, at the exit of Guadalajara, just after Aviación Avenue, in the Bajío area. You must follow that path, pass through La Venta del Astillero and take the detour to the free Tepic road, heading to Ameca.
Then we continue to a crossroads to continue along Federal Highway 70, which has a length of 171 km and goes from El Arenal to Mascota; passing through Tala, Buenavista, Los Pocitos, Ameca, Mixtlán, Atenguillo and Mascota.
