Getting around is easy with taxis and Uber. We also have a 5 person SUV in San Carlos and can do some transporting. If you prefer to rent a car, options are limited. Best option is Facil Rent A Car. www.facilrentacar.com. We suggest calling them to reserve at +52 622-222-1450 as website can be difficult. Since there is not a counter at the airport, you also need to arrange for the car to be dropped off and picked up at MMGM.

There is lots to do in San Carlos! We will start off with a welcome cocktail party including dinner at our home there Sunday evening, plus a sailing adventure and more. But we’ll be sure to include time for you to relax!

Tom will hold a hangar briefing session in late summer on required documents and protocol for those new to flying in Mexico and those needing a refresher. Pilots also need to order the required DTOPS decal which can take a few weeks to arrive (link here). It is good for the calendar year. The cost is about $30.

We hope you can join us as we have fallen in love with San Carlos and are excited to share it with you! Please be sure to sign up on the website if you plan to attend.
