The last bus from the Mexico South bus station (Tasqueña) leaves for Oaxtepec at 23:00; if it takes you 45 minutes to cross the airport and 30 minutes to go by taxi from there to Tasqueña, you will be able to reach the last bus. A taxi from the airport to Tasqueña will be MX$172. Now, what happens if you don't get this last bus? First of all, you can spend the night in a very decent and reasonably cheap hotel less than 1km away from Tasqueña, Hotel Montreal [1] (single rooms at MX$290, according to the site). Alternatively, there are buses running until 12AM (IIRC) to Cuernavaca. Call us by phone (we will provide our official contact phone number later on), and somebody will go pick you up. > 3.

I am certain this will well be worth it :) BTW: I'm adding this information to the wiki [2] and updating the English translation [3].
